Opera to test ChatGPT-powered ‘Shorten’ button for Mini browser: All you need to know
The feature will be added to the address bar of the search engine, according to Opera.
Opera is testing a new feature called ‘Shorten’ for its namesake search engine Opera Mini. The ‘Shorten’ button is part of the company's upcoming drive to integrate artificial intelligence (AI)-generated content into its browsers on both personal computers (PCs) and mobile phones.
On Feb 10, the Norwegian tech giant took to its official blog to announce the AI integration, as well as the Shorten option.
Here's all you need to know about this feature:
(1.) On its blog, Opera said Shorten will be added to the address bar of the Mini browser. The ChatGPT-powered bot will generate a short summary of webpages and articles.
(2.) As the button is powered by ChatGPT, it will allow users to type long conversational queries; it is these queries that the bot will provide responses to.
(3.) It is a dedicated sidebar button, and, according to Opera, will allow people to use AI tap into and unfold the full potential of resources such as text, image, audio generation.
(4.) There is no official word on when the feature will be made available to all. The company, however, said this will happen ‘soon.’
(5.) The service is similar to the one announced by Microsoft which, on Feb 8, unveiled ChatGPT-powered versions of its Bing search engine and Edge browser.
