Opera, a web browser, has just included a ChatGPT-powered sidebar widget that creates succinct summaries of online pages and publications.
Opera added ChatGPT
The feature, named “shorten,” is part of the company’s larger intentions to include AI technologies into its browser, similar to what Microsoft is doing with Edge, according to The Verge, an American technology news website.
As seen in a sample in Opera’s blog post, users may enable the capability by selecting the “shorten” button to the right of the URL bar.

After that, a ChatGPT sidebar with a clear, bulleted description of the article or webpage you’re watching will display on the left. Only a few days have passed since Microsoft unveiled the AI-powered Bing and Edge.
According to The Verge, the company’s Edge search engine will have an AI “copilot” that can summarize webpages or articles and produce content for social media posts and other uses, in contrast to the company’s search engine, which will have an AI chatbot that provides annotated responses to searches.
Bard, Google’s AI search bot, was also presented earlier this week, albeit it is not yet accessible for testing.
But not everyone has access to the “shorten” function yet. According to Jan Standel, Opera’s vice president of marketing and communications, it will “launch in browsers very shortly.”
