According to reports, Opera is planning to add a ChatGPT-powered tool to its sidebar. The artificial intelligence tool will generate brief summaries of webpages and articles. The feature is known as “shorten,” according to The Verge. is part of the company’s larger plan to incorporate AI tools into its browser, similar to what Microsoft is doing with Edge.

Opera has also published a blog post about the upcoming feature. Users will be able to enable the functionality by clicking the “shorten” button to the right of the address bar, as seen in a blog demo. Then, on the left, a ChatGPT sidebar will appear, displaying a clean, bulleted summary of the article or webpage you’re viewing.

The announcement by Opera comes just days after Microsoft revealed the AI-powered browsers.

The software giant unveiled AI-powered Bing and Edge earlier this week. Google also showed off its AI search bot Bard earlier this week, though it is not yet available for testing.

Edge will include an AI “copilot” that can summarise webpages or articles, as well as generate content for social media posts and other purposes, according to The Verge.

However, the “shorten” feature is not yet available to everyone. Opera’s vice president of marketing and communications, Jan Standel, told The Verge that it will “launch in browsers very soon.”
