Opera browser users can get more up-to-date information and more conversational responses as it integrates Google\u2019s Gemini<\/a> AI models into its existing Aria AI extension.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Aria, released last year<\/a>, acts like an AI assistant to answer user queries, write code, and perform other tasks. According to Opera, Aria does not rely on one AI model to respond to users but chooses the AI model it feels will work best for the specific task. With this new integration, Aria can tap into Gemini, which the company says provides Opera users \u201cwith the most current information at high performance.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Aria is available on all Opera browsers, including its gaming browser, Opera GX.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n With the new integration, Opera users can hear Aria read its responses out loud \u201cin a conversational-like fashion.\u201d Google\u2019s text-to-audio AI models power Aria\u2019s read-aloud capability in a way that\u2019s similar to ChatGPT\u2019s Read Aloud feature<\/a>, which reads results from the chatbot. (And that once featured the voice Sky, which OpenAI recently pulled<\/a>.)\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This is not the first time Opera has worked with Google\u2019s AI models. Aria added an image generation feature in April<\/a> using Google\u2019s Imagen 2 model, which lets users generate pictures straight from the Opera browser.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
