Opera browser 97.0.4719.26 Desktop Update: integration of ChatGPT and AI summarization

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Coje_He for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, March 22 (Xinhua)-- following Microsoft's launch of GPT-4-based chatbots in its Edge browser, Opera has followed suit. In the latest version of 97.0.4719.26, ChatGPT-and ChatSonic-based generative AI chatbots are integrated into its desktop browsers Opera and Opera GX, making them available for pre-emptive use on all desktop platforms.

According to CTOnews.com, Opera has also introduced a feature that allows users to generate AI prompts by highlighting or typing text on the site. Chatbots can also write articles or web summaries for users, write social media posts for users, or help users with creative ideas through prompts. Users must manually turn on the AI prompt by setting to use this feature.

Opera also integrates ChatGPT and ChatSonic into the sidebar of its browser. Opera said that although ChatGPT can also process text, the ChatSonic robot supported by GPT-4 also allows users to generate images based on text input.

Kunlun Wanwei said it plans to launch more artificial intelligence features in the future, supported by its GPT-based model. Given the popularity of generative AI, more browsers are likely to emulate and integrate some type of AI tool. Recently, Brave introduced summary functionality into its search service and said it had been experimenting with AI-related functionality for its browser.
