What is Opera AI?
Opera AI (previously Aria AI) is a free assistant built into the Opera browser. It needs no log-in or sign-up. You open it with the Ask AI button in the top-right corner or the shortcut Ctrl + O (Windows) or Cmd + O (macOS), then type a question or describe what you want. According to Opera, it gives access to models from OpenAI and Google in one place.
The assistant understands the page or tab group you are viewing, so you can ask about open tabs, summarize several pages, or compare sources with direct links. You can upload images, reports, PDFs, spreadsheets, and documents to get summaries or key data, and you can highlight text on any webpage to explain it or translate it into 50 languages. It also works with YouTube transcriptions, supports voice input and output, and includes a free AI image generator.
