Opera plans to add an AI feature called 'Browser Operator' that can automatically operate the browser, allowing it to shop and book tickets according to user instructions
It has been revealed that the web browser 'Opera' will be adding a feature called ' Browser Operator ' that automatically operates the browser using AI. Users can give instructions in natural language such as 'Buy two of XX', and can also interrupt the automatic operation by AI and operate the browser themselves from the middle of the process.

Browser Operator does not use a virtual machine on a server, but automatically operates Opera itself running on the user's PC. You can see an example of Browser Operator in action in the video below.

While accessing the Walmart online store, you instruct the Browser Operator to 'buy 12 pairs of size 10 Nike socks.'
The action was then performed: 'Search for the product 'Set of 6 socks', add it to the cart, and increase the quantity to '2'.'
With the Newcastle United FC website open, a user typed in the following complex instructions: 'I would like two tickets to a Newcastle United FC home game in April. If standard tickets are not available, hospitality tickets are OK. I would like to sit in the middle seats. Tickets must cost less than £250.'
I was able to do everything correctly, from searching for match schedules to selecting tickets.
You can also search for flights to your destination on Booking.com.
It also responds appropriately to instructions related to the previous instruction, such as 'Find a hotel where I can stay on the same day.'
The automatic operation by Browser Operator can be interrupted at any time, and users can take over from the middle of the operation. In addition, since it does not require screenshots or recording during operation, privacy can be protected.
