Opera has previewed a new AI agent feature that promises to complete online tasks on your behalf, based on simple, written prompts. 

Want to book a flight but don’t want to spend ages comparing prices? Tell the bot your preferred flight times, seats, and budget and it’ll get to work in the background, letting you carry on with whatever it was you were doing. Once it’s done, it’ll add the item to your cart and you can proceed to pay. 

Unlike existing tools like Google AI assistant or ChatGPT, which help you find information by summarising search results, answering questions, and suggesting links, Opera’s AI agent does the browsing for you.
