Opera Building ChatGPT into Sidebar


Do you ever find yourself overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information available online? If so, you’re not alone. That’s why Opera has come up with a revolutionary new way to make the web easier to digest: the “shorten” feature. In this blog post, we’ll be exploring the new “shorten” feature, what it does, and why it’s so revolutionary.

Opera’s “Shorten” Feature
Opera’s “shorten” feature is a ChatGPT-powered tool that’s been added to the company’s sidebar. This feature is designed to generate brief summaries of webpages and articles, allowing you to quickly and easily digest the information you’re looking for.

Using the “Shorten” Feature
Using the “shorten” feature is simple. All you have to do is select the “shorten” button to the right of the address bar, and a sidebar with ChatGPT will pop out from the left. This sidebar will then generate a neat, bulleted summary of the article or webpage you’re looking at. As shown in a demo included in Opera’s blog post, the “shorten” feature is incredibly easy to use and understand.

The Benefits of “Shorten”
The “shorten” feature is part of Opera’s broader plan to integrate AI tools into its browser, similar to what Microsoft’s doing with Edge. According to Per Wetterdal, Opera’s head of strategic partnerships and AI ecosystem, “We are excited to see the rapid roll-out of developer programs for solutions such as Google Bard, for example, and are starting to build and roll out new experiences in web browsing that not very long ago seemed impossible to achieve.”

The “shorten” feature isn’t available to everyone just yet, but Jan Standel, the vice president of marketing and communications at Opera, says that it’s going to “launch in browsers very soon.” Opera is also working on other AI-powered features that “augment” the browsing experience and plans on adding “popular AI-generated content services to the sidebar.”

Conclusion
In conclusion, Opera’s “shorten” feature is an incredibly useful tool that’s designed to make the web easier to digest. With this feature, you can quickly and easily generate a neat, bulleted summary of the article or webpage you’re looking at. The “shorten” feature is part of Opera’s broader plan to integrate AI tools into its browser, and it’s set to launch in browsers very soon.
