Opera One, Opera's AI-powered web browser, has just been updated. On the menu, Opera introduces Tab Commands, a new feature that lets you manage browser tabs using prompts sent to the built-in chatbot.
Tabs controlled via the chatbot
This new way of managing open tabs in the browser is entirely handled by Aria, the AI agent integrated into Opera One. Concretely, you will be able to address the chatbot in natural language to ask it to close, group, or even pin some of your tabs. The goal of the operation: save clicking and dragging and dropping.
To do this, you must first activate Aria, in the command line, via the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + / on Windows or Cmd + Shift + / on macOS, and simply describe to it what you want to do. Note that it is also possible, by right-clicking on a tab, to activate tab management with AI, on one condition: that you have at least five tabs open. Opera clarifies that you won't be able to manage your tabs from Aria's conversational interface accessible in the sidebar.
Once Aria's command line is open, you can, for example, ask it to "group all your YouTube tabs," "close all Amazon tabs," or "save tab XYZ to favorites." You can even ask the AI assistant to pin some of your tabs to keep them within clickable reach. In addition, Aria will automatically display several suggestions that you just have to click if to reorganize your tabs.
A little clarification, to access Opera One's AI features, you will need to log in to an Opera account in the browser.
A process executed locally
Opera gives some details about how its new option works. Under the hood, Aria only processes the prompt you dictate. No other information passes through the Aria dedicated server. The AI then takes care of processing the tab-related commands locally on your machine. This system is essential to guarantee confidentiality. of your data.
While the idea of using AI to perform actions in the browser seems appealing, is the system as effective as Opera presents? In use, the browser's AI sometimes still seems to be finding its bearings. When we asked it to group all our 01net tabs, Aria wasn't sure what we were asking and asked us to rephrase our question or choose one of its suggestions.
On the other hand, closing all the Amazon tabs we asked it to do was executed without a hitch. The question now is whether it's faster to type what you want to do on the keyboard, than to do it yourself with your mouse...
