Opera One now lets you do much more with AI
with less time, fewer technical skills, and less effort. The
improved native browser AI, Aria, comes with a set of tools that
allow you to easily refine your queries down to the sentence,
create content with a set of predefined prompts, and even train the
browser AI to write like you.
OSLO,
Norway, Oct 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Being able to
effectively interact with AI is quickly becoming an essential skill
in life. With this update to Opera One, the native browser AI,
Aria, lets people more easily and quickly get to the results they
are looking for: whether it's a piece of content they are looking
to create or a query they need help with.
"This year, we redesigned our browser to make Opera users'
interaction with AI better. With this release, we are improving
their experience in places where it matters the most: queries and
content creation," said Joanna
Czajka, product director at Opera. "What people want is
to create the content they need or get the best possible query
results as fast, as accurately, and with as little effort as
possible. With this update, we are making that happen."
Whether you need to compare various manufacturers of Star Wars
figurines or want to start a travel blog for vegan travelers with
dogs – Aria can save you a lot of time and effort as it just got
much better at refining queries and generating creative output.
Refine the browser AI's output without having to provide
context
The new "Refiner" tool in Aria has two main features: "Reuse"
and "Rephrase". Let us first explain "Reuse".
To refine the replies you get from a traditional
AI chatbot, you often need to retype the entire context in
your every query. But what if the AI could create the perfect
response based on selected elements from several of its previous
answers? The "Reuse" feature allows you to do just that. Simply
select the parts of previous responses you want to reuse, then
click on "Reuse", and they will be added to the input field in
Aria. Once you have collected all the elements you need, you can
type in a new prompt that will use the elements you selected to
generate a new reply.
To give you an example: Let's say you are using Aria to
brainstorm ideas for a getaway to the Kingdom of Bhutan. You can now select a couple of the
proposals that interest you among the AI's responses, and ask it to
combine them into a trip plan for two.
Make the AI rephrase a specific part of its answer
Let's say you are happy with the blog post the AI generated, but
would just like to change one small bit. With most solutions, all
you can do is ask them to regenerate the whole thing. Aria is
different as it allows you to rephrase a selected fragment of its
output: you simply need to select the part you would like it to
change and click "Rephrase". The new response will keep the bulk of
the previous one and only rework the element you chose.
And if you feel like you want to get back to a part of Aria's
responses later, you can highlight the elements you need, just like
you would with highlighters in a book or notepad; the new
"Highlighter" feature will take care of it.
Compose with ease
Generative AI is also there to help you compose new content and
be creative. With this update to Opera One, you can get creative
faster than ever. Simply click the magic pen icon next to the input
field - this will take you to the Aria Compose feature. Whether
it's a personal blog post, a social post, an important email,
presentation deck, or a speech, all you need to do is:
- Select the type of content you want to write from the TASK
section.
- Provide a topic and little more context in the DESCRIPTION
field.
- Choose the length, as well as tone: formal, informal, neutral,
academic, business or funny.
Your text will be ready in no time and you didn't even have to
come up with a prompt.
Training Aria to write like you
You can further personalize Aria with the "My Style" feature
that lets you train the browser AI to write like you. It's never
been easier to write long pieces of text, from insightful reviews
to eloquent emails or stern complaints, all in your unique style of
writing.
To make Aria write like you, you need to provide a few samples
of your writing for it to learn from. Simply click the magic pen
icon next to the AI input field, then go to "Define my style". You
will then be asked to provide samples of your writing in a formal,
neutral, and informal tone. After that, you're all set. Aria will
be able to generate messages in your style.
Opera's innovations in the AI space include the command
line
Opera One was the first browser to come with an integrated
browser AI, Aria. Since June 2023,
Opera users can also use the command line (Ctrl+/ or
cmd+/) to interact with Aria. Whenever a question comes to
mind, they can use the command line to ask Aria a question and
either interact with the browser AI's response immediately in the
sidebar or go back to browsing.
The browser AI offers free access to a leading GPT-based
solution along with up-to-date information from the web.
Since early 2023, Opera has been adding AI capabilities to all
of its flagship browsers on Win, MacOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.
Aria is built on Opera's own Composer architecture, which allows it
to tap into various language models – like OpenAI's GPT models –
and to gather live information from the web. This makes its results
more up to date and accurate. To use Aria, you need to log in into
your Opera account or create one free of charge. Opera's browser AI
is an opt-in feature.
Aria and its features are also available in Opera GX
Aria browser AI is also available in Opera GX, the hugely
popular browser for gamers. To enable it, you need to switch on
"Early Bird" in the browser's settings.
