Opera Browser Gets AI Prompts, Sidebar Access to ChatGPT and ChatSonic [Video]

Opera has announced that it's updated Opera Browser and Opera GX with Smart AI Prompts and access to popular GPT-based chatbots.

Generative, AI-based services (often known as Artificial Intelligence-Generated Content, or AIGC) are reshaping the web, changing both what we ask of the tools at our disposal and what they can do.




AI Prompts
Accessible when you highlight text or directly from the address bar, AI Prompts is your new, go-to tool to interpret, to summarize, and to explore the web, offering you an experience that's tailored to your interests and needs.

Maybe a chunk of text was long or confusing. AI Prompts can help you shorten it or explain it for you, whether it's a paragraph, a whole article, even a website! Or perhaps you've stumbled upon something that you're really interested in – a fashion trend, a culinary fancy, some new, previously unheard-of musical artist – and you want to know more and more. AI Prompts will take you down your internet rabbit hole, since you can ask it to suggest more relevant content based on what you're reading. AI Prompts can even help you craft a witty tweet on a given topic, if you ask it.



ChatGPT and ChatSonic
Users now have access to the web versions of ChatGPT and ChatSonic right in the sidebar.


They can offer you assistance with a wide range of queries and issues. You can generate ideas, summaries, translations, itineraries. You can write code, learn music, get help on math, draft text – the list goes on and on! ChatSonic is additionally so clever that it can create images for you. Altogether, the new AIGC tools offer a portal to a more personal and intelligent web – one that provides solutions to your specific needs. Do note that in order to use the AIGC tools in the sidebar, you'll have to create accounts with the respective services or log in with your existing account, if you already have one.




Availability
To access the new features, you must upgrade the Opera or Opera GX browser or download it from www.opera.com. Then you'll go to Easy Setup and activate the Early Access option by toggling "AI Prompts," which enables AI Prompts in the browser UI and AI services in the sidebar. In Opera GX, you'll also have to enable the "Early Bird" option in your browser settings.
