A new development in web browsing is on the horizon as the Opera browser is set to incorporate artificial intelligence features inspired by ChatGPT. Reports from a major television network indicate that the integration is being pursued by Kunlun Tech, the Beijing‑based company that currently owns Opera.
The company’s spokesperson noted that no timetable has been published and that there are no confirmed details about whether these AI capabilities will appear across every Opera product, including desktop versions and mobile variants for iOS and Android. This means users should expect potential differences in availability while the team tests and refines the technology.
Recent data from StatCounter places Opera near the middle of the global browser market, holding about 2.4 percent of global usage and ranking sixth. Kunlun Tech, the parent organization, is headquartered in Beijing and is publicly traded on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, underscoring the company’s substantial footprint in technology and digital services.
Earlier in December, Opera’s developers began substantive work on AI-driven programs of their own, signaling an intensified push into intelligent capabilities that can assist users in everyday online tasks. In parallel, major Chinese technology groups Baidu and Alibaba have announced their own efforts to create ChatGPT‑style assistants, highlighting a broader move toward conversational AI in the regional tech ecosystem.
In another notable tech update, a prominent software maker refreshed its own search engine with an upgraded AI model that powers more capable query handling. The refreshed system is designed to deliver more accurate and contextually relevant results, reflecting ongoing competition in the field of AI‑assisted search and information retrieval.
OpenAI’s ChatGPT remains a widely used AI chatbot that employs advanced language models to generate text, respond to questions, compose various forms of writing, and translate between languages. It serves as a practical example of how AI can support everyday online tasks and help users articulate ideas, draft content, and bridge language gaps across diverse contexts.
