Browser Agent Revolutionizes Web Experience
Browser company Opera has unveiled a new AI agent called Browser Operator that can complete tasks for you on different websites. In a demo video, the company showed the AI agent finding a right pair of socks from Walmart; securing tickets for a football match from the club’s site; and looking up a flight and a hotel for a trip on Booking.com. Opera said that the feature will be available to users through its Feature Drop program soon.
- The integration of AI agents like Browser Operator is likely to disrupt traditional search engine business models, potentially forcing Google and Bing to rethink their approach to user assistance.
- Will this level of automation lead to increased job displacement in industries heavily reliant on online transactions, such as e-commerce and travel?
