How to access Aria AI's features?
To access Aria AI's features in the GX browser, users need to enable "Early Bird" in settings and turn on "Aria Extension" and "Aria Command Line."
Once activated, users can interact with Aria through a new command line by typing ctrl+/ on Windows or cmd+/ on Mac to display an overlay.
Users can ask gaming-related questions and get answers through the overlay which can be launched from the sidebar.
Accesibility
Aria AI could enhance the gaming experience
Aria AI can help gamers with any in-browser queries, providing an alternative to traditional search engines.
Additionally, Aria's AI Prompt capability allows users to highlight any text in the browser which will then bring up contextual information, providing relevant details on the fly.
Interested users can download Opera's GX browser from the company's website. With Aria AI now available in over 180 countries, most people can access its features with both GX and Opera's One browsers.
