Aria, which was launched last year, functions like an AI search companion with a chatbot-like interface that provides answers as an alternative to web searches. Opera has been continuously improving Aria since its launch and expanding its functionality through its AI Feature Drops Program, which gives users early access to additional AI features. The most recent update to Aria includes the ability to generate images using Google's Imagen2 and to read text answers aloud.
