Opera enhances Aria AI with improved cooking and shopping response features

Opera has introduced a new AI feature update to its web browser, enhancing Aria's response capabilities in the developer stream. The update focuses on enriching responses within two specific categories: cooking & recipes, and products & online shopping. This means that when users inquire about recipes or product purchases, Aria will provide more detailed content, suggestions, and links to additional information.

Aria now offers up to three different response options, accessible via a page selector in the top right corner of the answer. Users can also leverage Aria's image understanding capabilities; for instance, they can upload a photo of a dish and receive instructions to recreate it.

This update also aids in product research, such as camera shopping, where users can receive reviews and purchase options by simply texting the model to Aria. While the current upgrade targets specific categories, it marks a technical enhancement in AI response quality, with plans for broader improvements in the future.
