Opera’s web browser app for iOS is getting an AI assistant. The corporate announced today that Opera for iOS will now include Aria, its browser AI product inbuilt collaboration with OpenAI, integrated directly into the net browser, and free for all users.

The AI solution had previously launched on Opera for desktop and Opera for Android, where it has now topped 1 million users. With the addition of iOS support, Aria is on the market across all major platforms, including Mac, Windows, Linux, Android and now iOS, the corporate notes.

Using Aria, nonetheless, is as much as the person user. If you need to experience the AI service, you may opt in — it’s not forced on anyone. After doing so, Aria will provide various intelligent insights and concepts, and responsive voice commands. Users will even need to log into their Opera account to make use of Aria. In the event that they don’t have one, they’ll create an account from the app.

Aria relies on Opera’s own “Composer” infrastructure and connects with OpenAI’s GPT technology. Composer is what’s going to allow Aria to hook up with multiple AI models and in the long run will expand the AI’s capabilities in search and AI services, including further moves into generative AI and others Opera is planning to unveil at a later date.

Like other AI search companions, Opera on iOS has a chatbot-like interface so you may ask it questions and receive its responses, as a substitute for searching the net for answers. The AI is on the market from the “more” menu (far right tab on the underside navigation bar) within the Opera iOS app. You can even speak your inquiries to Aria by tapping the microphone button as an alternative of typing, if you happen to select.

After announcing Aria’s 1 million user milestone last month, the corporate touted how adding AI had impacted its other metrics.

“As encouraging because the initial adoption of Aria has been, we’re equally pleased with the standard of the users’ early engagement with the AI tool,” said Opera co-CEO Lin Song on the time. “We’re also seeing a lift in total time spent, with increased searches and pageviews per session.”

Aria isn’t the primary AI solution from Opera. The corporate previously pioneered AI Prompts, which allowed users to quickly initiate conversations with generative AI services to shorten or explain articles, generate tweets, or request relevant content based on the highlighted text.

Opera for iOS is a free download and includes other helpful features like built-in ad blocking, a free VPN, tracking prevention, a crypto wallet, private browsing support and more.
