Its \u201cNeon Do\u201d feature allows the software to navigate pages on a user\u2019s behalf without routing information to external cloud services.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The Norwegian company is pitching Neon as a subscription product aimed at power users. Early access begins on Sept 30, with broader availability expected in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Other features include \u201cTasks\u201d, which create self-contained workspaces for AI to analyse multiple sources, and \u201cCards\u201d, reusable prompt templates that automate repetitive workflows. <\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Opera said all actions occur locally, giving users control over when the AI model acts or pauses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The company\u2019s US-listed shares have surged in the past three years on the back of consistent earnings beat and investor optimism around its push into AI-powered products.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Founded in 1995 and headquartered in Oslo, Opera has more than 300 million active users across its desktop and mobile browsers. <\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The company emphasised Neon\u2019s privacy-first design, arguing that on-device operation could appeal to European users as regulators tighten scrutiny over data use.
