Opera GX browser AI gets new features
Opera GX, the gaming browser, has launched a major update to its AI assistant, Aria. This upgrade introduces new features such as image generation using Google's Imagen2, enabling users to create up to 30 unique images daily from text prompts. Additionally, Aria now offers voice output through Google's WaveNet, providing audio responses beneficial for multitasking or accessibility needs.
Aria's capabilities have further expanded to include image understanding, allowing users to upload images and receive detailed contextual information. The chat experience has been enhanced with 'Chat Summary,' summarizing entire conversations, and 'Links to Sources,' giving users contextual links regarding their inquiries.
The update also reworks the Aria Command Line, making it easier to activate via 'ctrl + /' or 'cmd + /' for a smoother user experience. These enhancements aim to provide the gaming community with a more robust and accessible AI assistant, available now for all Opera GX users.

Image Generation and Voice Output
Images are crucial to today's web, so this Opera GX update places a strong focus on the visual. With this update, Aria is gaining the ability to turn text prompts and descriptions into unique images using the image generation model Imagen2 by Google. Aria identifies the user's intention to generate an image based on conversational prompts. They can also use the "regenerate" option to have Aria come up with a new image. Aria allows them to generate 30 images per day per user.
With this patch Aria is also gaining the ability to read answers out loud by using Google's WaveNet model. It benefits those who normally use screen readers, like to multitask, or need to hear information instead of reading it.
Image Understanding
Internet users find themselves searching for information about something they saw just as often as for something they read or heard about. That's why Aria is also gaining image understanding capabilities. This means that users can now upload an image to Aria that they can then ask the AI tool about as part of the chat conversation. For example, if the image is an unknown headset, it will identify its brand and model as well as provide some context about it. Or a user can take a picture of a math problem and ask Aria how to solve it.
Improvements to the Chat
In this update, the text-based chat experience with Aria has also been improved thanks to two new functionalities: "Chat Summary'' and "Links to Sources." The former provides users with a concise summary of an entire conversation with Aria, allowing them to recap the most important information. In the latter feature, Aria supplies the user with links to sources about the topic of the conversation, enabling them to get more context regarding their inquiry. Opera GX also has received reworked Aria Command Line which users can now easily activate by pressing the "ctrl + /" or "cmd + /" button combination. This enables the user to open the additional floating window instead of using Aria from the extension page.
With these new features, Opera GX is giving Aria a significant buff and providing the gaming community with an up-to-date AI assistant that is now more accessible and capable than before.
The Aria update is available now for every Opera GX user.
