After back-to-back introductions of innovative features, whether be a ChatGPT integration or a freshly built version of the flagship browser that supports the generative AI contents (Opera One), Opera has now introduced an AI tool of its own, Aria, further expanding its AI-driven capabilities. Aria represents a significant milestone for Opera users as it is natively built into the browser, promising a new browsing experience.
This article will discuss its design architecture, explore its capabilities, highlight any limitations, and touch upon other relevant features. By the end, you’ll clearly understand what Aria brings to the table.
Opera Aria Overview:
Aria is based on Opera’s underlying “Composer” framework and utilizes OpenAI’s GPT technology. This helps it connect to numerous AI models leading to further expansions in functionalities like search and live web results. Unlike ChatGPT, Aria is not limited to contents prior to 2021. Hence it can provide free-of-cost generative up-to-date content. Opera has ambitious plans to expand Aria’s capabilities and transform it into an AI tool that performs cross-browser functions seamlessly, enhancing the browsing experience for users.
AI is rapidly changing how we work, browse the web, and naturally, how we think about browsers and the part they can play in users’ online experience. Fittingly, Aria is our first product that named itself.
Availability and Accessibility of Opera Aria
Aria is currently available in over 180 countries and is accessible for some OS like Windows, MacOS, Linux, and Android. To use Aria, just simply create an Opera account. When done, Opera will notify you of your allowlist status through email or any other medium, and then you will have access to Aria and its features.
- For Desktop: First, download the development version of Opera, i.e., Opera One. Install the browser and then tap on the Aria browser AI icon located on the left sidebar of the screen.
- For Android: Download the Browser’s current beta version from the Google Play Store, and you are good to go.

Chats in Opera Aria
The chat history in Aria remains saved for 30 days or until the individual manually deletes it. Once deleted, users cannot recover chats. There are no specific limitations on the number of queries an individual can have within a particular chat or the number of chats they can initiate. However, if the user excessively interacts with Aria in a short period, there might be temporary unavailability of the system until the following day.
Are information provided by Aria and other AI tools reliable?
Since AI tools like Aria are still in the initial stages, they rely on publicly available sources, which can create inaccurate information or present biased perspectives. Because of the same reason, Aria can sometimes generate biased, harmful, misleading, and inaccurate content. Aria cannot outsource content except from the one user enters. Hence it can sometimes fail to provide supportive background on the information it generates. It is always a good idea to fact-check the information that the Aria gives.
Possibilities and Prospects of Opera Aria
One advantage that Aria gains from its native development within the browser is that it has full access to Opera’s database of support documentation. This allows it to derive answers to customer queries straight from the company’s existing product knowledge. It helps users generate textual content, find information on the internet or resolve queries by parallelly collaborating with AI.
Aria offers numerous possibilities for users. Since it is based on several large language models, any user can access generative AI content in natural language. This includes summarizing or elaborating on a particular topic, writing emails, letters, and tweets, and even adapting the writing style to match different tones, such as formal, informal, or humorous.
