In Opera, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+/ to open Aria’s Command Line. On Mac, it’s Cmd+/. A popup will appear where you can type a question to Aria, and Aria’s response will appear below. Press Esc to close the command line. If you want to continue the conversation with Aria, you can also click Continue in Chat, which will open Aria’s full chat window from your sidebar.

While using Aria’s Command Line (Ctrl+/)*, press Tab to use Aria’s Page Context mode, to ask about the content of the webpage you’re currently viewing. For example, you can ask for a summary, for the main points, or where you can find more information on the same subject. Press Tab again to exit Page Context mode.

*The Command Line can be accessed through the shortcut: Ctrl+/ on Windows and Cmd+/ on Mac. In some cases – and depending on the keyboard layout – the Aria Command Line shortcut can vary due to different positioning of the forward slash ( / ) character, for example, in the Nordics it’s Ctrl/Cmd + shift + 7.

Opera's free browser AI, Aria, is already built into Opera. To get access to Aria, simply download Opera for desktop, Android or iOS:

Download Opera Browser for desktop
Download Opera for Android from the Play Store
Download Opera Browser for iOS from the App Store

Once you’ve installed the browser, head to Settings. Under Features you’ll find AI Services. You can add Aria to your sidebar there. To access Aria even faster, use Command Line by clicking Ctrl+/* on Windows and Cmd+/ on Mac.

No, you don’t need to sign in to use Aria. It’s available without creating an account.

To use Aria without signing in, update your browser to the latest version. After that, you can chat with Aria in the side panel or through the Command Line. You’ll need to accept the terms of service the first time you use it.

Image generation is limited to five images per day for all users. Create an Opera Account if you want to generate more. Signing in will increase your limit to 30 images per day and allow you to access your previous chats.

Describe the image you want to create in Aria’s sidebar panel or in the Command Line. You can then view the generated image directly in your conversation and add more text prompts to change it.

For Aria to analyze your images, click the + button next to the chat and click upload image in Aria’s sidebar panel. You can add up to three images at the same time. Ask questions about the images via text prompts to get the information you want.

With text-to-speech technology, Aria can read her answers aloud. Just mouse over her answer and click Aria’s audio button in the popup, then continue browsing while you listen.

Aria’s Refiner tool is available when using Aria on desktop in Opera, allowing you to easily refine AI responses without copying, pasting, editing and rewriting the same prompts each time. Currently, the Refiner has three functionalities:

Rephrase
With your mouse cursor, highlight the part of Aria’s response that you wish to have rephrased, and click the Rephrase option in the tooltip. Aria will update the original response, regenerating the part you’ve highlighted in different words.

Reuse
Select a part of Aria's response that you want more information about, and a tooltip will appear. Click Reuse, and the selected text will be added to the input field. Now you can ask Aria a follow-up question, and the selected text will be included automatically. Up to five texts can be added to the input field at the same time, from different responses within one chat.

Color highlights
Highlight any text in Aria’s response using your mouse cursor, then select a color from the tooltip that appears. This text will remain highlighted with your chosen color throughout your conversation, making it easy to skim responses for specific information. To remove the highlights from all instances, just select the text again and click the removal icon on the left side of the tooltip.

The Compose feature is available when using Aria on desktop in Opera. Compose simplifies the process of creating AI-generated content by allowing you to define specific parameters alongside your prompt, rather than repeatedly prompting AI to refine those details.

While using Aria, you can open Compose mode by clicking the pencil icon next to where you type your questions. There you can select the type of content you wish to generate, such as an article, email, or essay, followed by the description. Below that, select the tone of the content, like formal, neutral or informal, as well as the optimal length.

Once you’ve finished selecting the details above, click Generate. The AI-generated content will appear on the right. You can edit the text or adjust the settings until the content suits your needs. When you are happy with the result, just click Save and Return.

In Opera on desktop, click the Aria icon in the sidebar on the left. If you don't see the icon, click the three-dots at the bottom of the sidebar and toggle the blue checkmark next to Aria.

To chat with Aria, you need to be logged in with your Opera account. Open Aria and select Continue, and you’ll be redirected to the sign-in page. If you don’t have an account, you can create one instantly on the same page.

Once you’re logged in, you can chat with Aria anytime from the sidebar by simply clicking the Aria icon.
