Entry priceFree download with basic Neon Chat; subscription $19.90 a month for agentic featuresFull pricing detail

Opera's agentic browser, where Neon Do acts in your logged in session with its plan in view, Make builds, Research Agents dig, Cards package repeatable tasks, scheduled tasks run on their own, and external agents connect over MCP or the Opera Browser CLI. Free to download, with the agents at $19.90 a month.

Opera Neon is Opera's agentic desktop browser. Neon Do runs locally in the browser and acts on webpages in the user's logged in session, grouping related tabs into tasks that share context. It shows its planned steps in a side panel, runs in view, and can be paused, stopped, redirected or taken over at any point, while credentials and payment details stay in the browser session. Neon Make handles creation work, three Research Agents cover deep, quick and local research, and Neon Cards package instructions for a type of task in a library of decks that works across Chat, Do and research. Scheduled tasks and Google tools are supported.

Neon also acts as an MCP server, so external AI tools can read open tabs, take screenshots and, when allowed, act in the live session, and the Opera Browser CLI lets coding agents drive it from the command line. Neon Chat lets the user pick from models including Gemini, GPT, Claude, Grok, DeepSeek, GLM-5 and Qwen3. Neon remembers preferences the user can view, edit or delete, and activity is kept for 365 days. The browser is free to download, with the agentic features on a $19.90 a month subscription.

Integrations

Works through the logged in browser session on any site. Neon Do connects with Google tools. Neon is an MCP server for external AI tools and ships the Opera Browser CLI (npm opera-browser-cli) for agents.

In practice

Your team fills the same web forms across several logged in sites every week. Neon Do acts in the browser session with its plan in a side panel, and anyone can pause, redirect or take over at any point.

Your developers want their coding agent to check pages in a real browser. The Opera Browser CLI lets the agent open pages, take snapshots, click, fill forms and switch tabs.

You pull the same competitor research every Monday. A scheduled task in Neon Do starts the work on its own, and a Neon Card holds the instructions for that type of task.
