About Opera Aria
Opera Aria is an AI assistant built into the Opera browser sidebar that handles chat, image generation, and webpage summaries.
Its distinguishing trait is that it lives inside the browser: it is built into the sidebar with no separate install, works across Opera's desktop and mobile platforms including Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, and can summarize the page you are on without leaving the tab, alongside chat and image generation.
It fits Opera users who want an assistant on hand while browsing rather than a separate app or tab. It is not for anyone outside Opera — there is no standalone or other-browser version — and heavy users will hit daily query limits on free usage.
As a browser extension-style assistant it is tied to one browser, unlike standalone chat tools you can reach from anywhere.
