How AI helps organizing in your Opera browser

The new assistant in your browser

Opera was the first major browser to integrate a native browser AI, and we didn't do it just to follow a trend. We did it because we saw a clear path to making your online life genuinely easier. We created Aria, your browser AI.

Think of Aria less as a search bar and more as an assistant sitting right beside you. It’s connected to the internet with live results, so it’s always up to date. It’s built directly into the browser, not bolted on, which means it can understand and interact with your browser in unique ways. This integration is the key to unlocking a new level of organization.

Practical ways AI brings order to your browser

Theory is great, but let's talk about what this actually looks like day-to-day. Here are a few ways you can use Aria to turn browser clutter into clarity.

Taming the tab jungle with smart grouping

Does this sound familiar? You start researching one topic, and an hour later, you have 30 tabs open, covering everything from flight deals to dinner recipes. Manually sorting them is a chore you'll get to later.

This is where AI excels. Instead of you doing the sorting, you can have Aria help. With features like Tab Islands, Opera automatically groups tabs from the same website or context. But AI takes it a step further. You can highlight a group of tabs from different sites and ask Aria to create a new, organized tab island based on the context, like "Plan my trip to Lisbon." It’s a simple, powerful way to keep your workspace focused.

From scattered ideas to structured plans

Organization isn't just about managing tabs; it's about managing ideas. You often have a goal—planning a project, comparing products, outlining a report—but the steps to get there are a jumble in your head. A blank page can be paralyzing.

Here, Aria acts as your thought-organizer. You can give it a complex, messy prompt and ask it to create structure. For example, ask Aria to "Create a comparison table for the three newest smartphones, including columns for battery life, camera specs, and price." or "Draft a 5-step project outline for launching a new podcast." Aria takes your abstract goal and instantly generates an organized list, table, or outline. This gives you a clear, structured starting point, transforming mental chaos into an actionable plan.

Summarizing content to decide what matters

Organization isn't just about where you put things, it's also about deciding what's worth keeping. You don't have time to read every single article, report, or forum thread you come across.

With Aria, you can instantly get the gist of any webpage. Just ask, "Summarize this page in three bullet points." Aria will read the content and give you a concise summary. This allows you to quickly assess if a page is worth a deeper read or a bookmark, helping you filter out the noise and organize your attention—your most valuable resource.

This is just the beginning

At Opera, we've never been content with the status quo. We were the first to introduce tabs to browsing, the first to build in an ad blocker, and the first to offer a free browser VPN. Integrating native AI is the next step in our long-term vision: creating a browser that actively enhances your productivity and focus.

This is an iterative process. AI is constantly evolving, and so is Aria. We are continuously rolling out updates and improvements based on how you use it. We're not just building features; we're building a smarter foundation for how you interact with the web.

Now, it's your turn to try

We’ve built the tools, but the real magic happens when you make them your own. The best way to understand how AI can help you get organized is to experiment.

Open Aria in your sidebar (Ctrl+/ or Cmd+/). Ask it a question. Have it summarize a page you're on. See how it responds. The more you use it, the more you'll discover your own unique ways to streamline your workflow. We are excited to see what you do with it.
