The Opera web browser has announced the availability of its brand new artificial intelligence search engine for everyone.
Now natively hosting an AI assistant based on the Open AI GPT model, Opera One intends to gain market share in the great battle of AI assistants. In addition, the company took the opportunity to add a new function and a comprehensive facelift to its search engine on computers.
Aria, reborn in chatbots
After a month of testing, Opera launched its brand new search engine, Opera One. A search engine that picks up on Microsoft’s recent great idea for Bing, which was to add an AI-powered chatbot assistant natively. Opera therefore invites us to welcome Aria, its new built-in assistant based on the in-house Composer AI engine and connecting to OpenAI’s GPT. People with an Opera account can now use this wizard in their web searches to get more results.
But you can also use Aria to generate text and code, or even provide additional information or a translation for a selected section of text in real time. The strength of this Opera-like tool is that there is no need to keep opening the side menu to send a request. The company has actually implemented a command (ctrl + / on Windows and cmd + / on Mac) that brings up a command line in which to formulate its requests.
Better tab management
Aria is still in its infancy, and while the tool offers more or less the same features as the Bing Assistant on Edge, some aren’t there yet, like the ability to choose the tone, format, or length with a single click the text you want to generate. However, Opera hasn’t been content with simply adding an AI assistant. The company also checked the display of tabs in its search engine. Tab islands are a new arrangement of tabs to avoid the appearance of tab invasion while working or researching. These are therefore automatically grouped according to the context of the search.
For example, if a person is planning a trip and researching hotels, planes, and travel destinations, all tabs opened in connection with this are combined into one tab island. A great way to organize your searches by topic and return to previous searches without feeling lost. And it all fits into a redesigned design and a faster, more efficient search engine.
