Opera Neon Get One-Minute Deep Research, Gemini 3 Pro, Nano Banana Pro, and More

Opera issued a major set of updates to its Neon agentic web browser that it created with its partner community. Key among them is a one-minute research that returns a fully-cited report much more quickly than other AI-based research tools.

“Opera Neon is our experimental playground that allows us to tap into the most cutting-edge AI technologies that exist on the web,” Opera executive vice president Krystian Kolondra says. “We’re developing this product together with our community at an extreme speed. The way Opera Neon’s AI engine is set up allows us to integrate the latest technologies barely hours after they become available.”

Here’s what’s new.

One-minute research. The Opera Deep Research Agent (ODRA) is a deep research tool that complements the browser’s Chat, Do, and Make agents by “cross-referencing diverse sources to generate fully structured, citation-backed report,” Opera notes. And it now supports a new one-minute research mode that works quickly by parallelizing processing to return a fully-cited report quickly. It “acts as a point in-between a simple AI query and a full-on deep research,” Opera says and is useful for those times that you need more than the former but less than the latter.

Gemini 3 and Nano Banana Pro. With this update, the Neon Chat interface now provides a model selector and it includes the latest Google models, Gemini 3 and Nano Banana Pro.

Google Docs integration. Neon’s Do agent now integrates with Google Docs, allowing it to create new Docs, do research and then create a Doc, edit existing Docs, rename Docs, and more.

Opera also explains why it makes several different browsers instead of a single product.

“We differ from most other companies in that we truly specialize in building browsers, and we know people are different and that the one-size-fit all system does not work for everyone out there,” Kolondra writes. “Our flagship browser, Opera One is carefully tailored for people who want to have a more joyful browsing experience, while Opera GX and Opera Air both rethink what browsers should be for their core audiences. All the Opera browsers ship with a free and advanced, LLM agnostic, AI solution. Opera Neon complements this with being tailored for the more advanced and demanding users out there, those who want to participate in shaping the future of web browsing, and believe AI agents will be a core part of their experience when doing so.”
