New Delhi: Opera has recently reported that they have unveiled the latest one-minute Deep Research mode, a faster version of its ODRA tools in its AI-powered Neon browser. According to some sources, this feature delivers concise research summaries in under a minute. This update also adds a Google Docs integration for the Neon Do agent and the latest model selector for the Neon Chat. This one-minute Deep Research option expands on the whole Deep Research experience unveiled last October, but trims the processing time to provide results quickly.
The reports also suggested that, in this latest one-minute research mode, Opera Neon is dividing the problem as much as possible in order to employ as many of the researchers as possible on the same task. This latest mode for the deep research agent, such as a point between a simple AI query and full-on deep research, is helpful since the user is not always in need of a comprehensive deep research for every query that requires a little bit more than just an AI overview. Neon’s Do agent now reports working directly inside Google Docs. With the integration, the AI assistant can help draft, edit and refine documents without switching tabs or tools.
Opera also stated that users can create a Google Doc by selecting the DO agent in the omnibox and specifying in their prompt that they want the latest document, while existing Docs can also be edited, including adding or removing content with the web-sourced information when necessary, or even renaming the file. However, this latest update also reported that it will unveil the model selector in Neon Chat, giving users the ability to choose between different AI models, including Google’s Gemini 3 Pro and Nano Banana Pro, and even switch models in the middle of the conversation. Neon is Opera’s AI-first browser, released in September 2025, designed to help users perform tasks on the web instead of just browsing it. It runs on a system of specialised AI agents that can gather information, automate actions, create content or complete workflows directly in the browser.
These tasks run inside the contextual task spaces, enabling the AI to work across multiple tabs without repeated prompts. Neon also includes agents like Chat, Do, Make and Deep Research Agent, giving it built-in tools for answering the users’ questions, executing online actions, generating files, and conducting structured research. It also supports reusable workflow Cards for typical jobs such as summaries or comparisons. For the uninitiated, Opera Neon remains a subscription-based offering priced at $19.99 per month. Users interested in trying the browser can join the waitlist through Opera’s official website. Since it has not yet been released widely, the Indian pricing for the same has not yet been announced by the company.
