Opera’s AI-powered browser can now split queries into multiple tasks to quickly provide a more comprehensive result. Here’s how that works.
Opera aims at a ‘symphony’ of agents workin in sync for the user
A few weeks ago, Opera Neon launched with three browsing agents: Do, Make, and Chat, which can act on the user’s behalf to browse the web, gather information, and deliver anything from a quick summary to an interactive widget.
Now, Neon is getting a fourth agent, called Opera Deep Research Agent, or ODRA, for more comprehensive research tasks.
Here’s how Opera presents the new agent:
Well, the main takeaway is that we managed to parallelize the operation on the server side, which means we’re dividing the problem (your research query) into smaller ones and running separate “researchers” on them – it’s like we’re applying brains instead of muscle into the engine to come up with a more efficient agent. This basically means that our agent is not going about your research request in a “one by one, and step by step” process, but rather applying a “division of labor” logic to work on various things at the same time (parallelizing). Think about it as the main difference between the way in which a CPU and a GPU work: one is great for performing one single operation in rapid succession, and the other is great at performing many smaller operations simultaneously.
Interestingly, once the subtasks are completed, a separate AI, called “supervisor” analyzes the material and either decides that the information is sufficient to what the user asks, or instructs the agent to gather further information to provide and even more comprehensive result.
Opera says that each deep research session “typically it takes from 5 to 20 minutes,” and that ODRA performed particularly well in the DeepResearch benchmark, second to Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro Deep Research model.
For Neon users, ODRA will be integrated into the Omnibus, alongside Made, Chat, and Do. The company offered a sneak peek of what to expect form a prompt such as “Research and analyze the latest advancements and cutting-edge theories within the field of game design. Specifically include recent developments, research, and practical design applications related to established frameworks like MDA (Mechanics-Dynamics-Aesthetics)” on its blog.
Opera Neon requires a $19.99 monthly subscription. You can visit Opera Neon’s website to join the waitlist.
