Oslo, Norway – Opera has launched a new "Deep Research Agent" named ODRA for its premium Neon AI browser. This new artificial intelligence tool, released around October 20-21, 2025, allows Neon to perform complex web research by breaking down user queries into multiple tasks and processing them in parallel. ^[1][2][3][4]The addition marks ODRA as the fourth AI agent in the subscription-based browser, aiming to enhance productivity for advanced users. ^[2][5][6] Published October 22, 2025 Reuters, AP News ### New AI Agent ODRA Powers Complex Research The Opera Deep Research Agent, or ODRA, can handle in-depth research by dividing a main question into smaller parts. ^[1][2]It then runs separate "researchers" on these sub-tasks simultaneously on Opera's servers. ^[1]This parallel processing is similar to how a GPU handles many small operations at once, rather than a CPU's sequential approach. ^[1] After ODRA completes its sub-tasks, a separate "supervisor" AI analyzes the gathered information. ^[1][3]This supervisor decides if the data is enough or if the agent needs to find more details for a complete answer. ^[1][3]Opera states that a typical deep research session with ODRA takes between 5 to 20 minutes. ^[1][3] ### Neon AI Browser Expands Agent Ecosystem ODRA joins Neon's existing trio of AI agents: Chat, Make, and Do. ^[2][7][5][4]The Chat agent summarizes webpages and answers questions, while Make creates digital assets like web pages or games. ^[7][8]The Do agent can execute tasks like filling forms or making purchases on a user's behalf. ^[7][8] Opera aims to create a "Symphony" – an orchestration layer that manages these multiple AI agents. Kr^[2][5][9]ystian Kolondra, EVP of Browsers at Opera, explained this vision. He said the system will manage agents, so users "just express your intent, and the system should orchestrate the solution". Th^[4]is means users will not need to know what each agent does. #^[4]## Strong Benchmark Results and Premium Access Opera reports that ODRA performed well in benchmark testing. Internal evaluations, based on the DeepResearch Bench test, show ODRA delivers highly accurate results. It^[2][5][3] ranked second only to Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro Deep Research model in this benchmark. OD^[1][5][3]RA is model-agnostic, using various large language models, including those from Google and OpenAI. O^[2][8]pera Neon itself launched a few weeks ago, around September 30, 2025. It^[2][10] targets professionals and users who perform heavy web research and rely on AI in their daily work. Ac^[9][10]cess to Opera Neon, including ODRA, requires a monthly subscription of $19.99 for early access. T^{[1][5][3][10]}his move intensifies competition in the growing AI browser market. Opera positions Neon as a premium, agentic browser, offering specialized tools for complex tasks. Th^[9][10]e company continues to develop its AI capabilities, aiming to redefine how users interact with the web through intelligent agents. -^[9]--
