An agentic browser is an AI-powered web browser that doesn’t just assist you-it acts for you. Instead of manually clicking, searching, and filling out forms, you simply tell the browser what you want in natural language. The browser’s built-in AI agent, or even a team of agents, then plans, navigates, and executes tasks across the web, freeing you from repetitive or time-consuming actions.
Users describe their goals in plain English-like “find me the best deals on flights to Paris” or “buy 10 pairs of white tennis socks in size 12 from Nike.” The browser’s AI agent interprets your request and autonomously browses, clicks, fills out forms, and even makes purchases or compiles research, all while keeping you updated and in control.Leading agentic browsers like Opera’s Browser Operator run natively on your device, ensuring your data stays private and local, not in the cloud.
Opera has become the first major browser to launch a native AI agent called Browser Operator. This tool allows users to delegate browsing tasks-shopping, research, booking, and more-directly to the browser. Opera’s solution is unique for its privacy-first, client-side approach, keeping all user data on the device and letting users oversee or intervene at any step.
Fellou recently launched what it calls the first “fully agentic AI browser,” which deploys an army of AI agents to handle everything from searching private, logged-in sites to organizing results into visual reports. Its standout feature, the “shadow window,” lets agents work autonomously in the background, so you can focus on other tasks while your digital partners handle the web.
No more juggling dozens of tabs or losing track of research-AI agents handle the tedious parts, letting you focus on what matters. Professionals, researchers, and social media managers are already using agentic browsers to automate workflows, cut hours off research, and manage multiple platforms simultaneously. The browser evolves from a passive tool to an active digital partner, fundamentally changing the user’s relationship with the internet.
Unlike previous AI-powered browsers that simply assist with search or summarize content, agentic browsers do the work for you. They can:
Deploy multiple autonomous agents for complex, multi-step tasks
Access and interact with private or logged-in sites
Organize and present results as actionable reports
Run tasks in the background, freeing up your attention
With Opera, Fellou, and other innovators like Perplexity’s upcoming Comet browser, the agentic browser revolution is just beginning. As these AI agents become more sophisticated, expect the web to become a space where your digital assistant-not just you-navigates, learns, and acts on your behalf.
