          Houston, TX. This thread started July 10 and here it is December 24 and this still isn’t fixed. 🙄 That’s a long time for a bug to go unfixed.

            Some AI services may not be available in Texas due to complex regulatory landscapes across the globe. Different countries have different laws regarding data privacy, AI usage, and intellectual property rights. AI companies must navigate these complex legal landscapes to ensure they’re operating within the law in every region they serve.

            I'm not sure if this is the issue with Opera, but it might be.

            Hi, I'm Best_codes! I'm a full-stack web dev who moderates on the makeblock forum. I have a website, https://bestcodes.dev. I love Opera, so I'm on here occasionally to report bugs and answer some questions.

              @bestcodes Except it's the US, and it's available in the rest of the US. I could hear that it's a state law, but all other AIs work perfectly fine (ChatGPT, Bard...) so... doubt it. And if it was the case, surely Opera would have answered by now, this was reported back in what, July?

                    @thelittleevil Iran is one of the countries for which it is intended for the service to not be available 😕

                            South Dallas - it says it's not available. Stupidly ridiculous. Save for frozen Alaska, Texas is the largest state in the US with massive technology headquarters and tech users.

                            Well, Opera is still the only browser that properly reformats desktop pages based on zoom level, so it'll continue being my most usable browser on phone and tablet on Android, but it's a shame AI integration is not usable.

                            Is anyone at Opera listening?

                              It's been six months with no response (nor fix, obviously), so I guess that answers that 😅

                                It was recognizing me and working. Now won’t respond to any questions. Says doesn’t operate in your region. I’m in usa.

                                  My workaround for this problem in Austin, TX is to (1) Avtivate the built in VPN and then (2) in the VPN Settings, change my Location From “Optimal (fastest server)” To “Americas” instead

                                        LOL

                                        If it is available in the USA and Texas is in the USA, then Opera should note it is only partially available in the USA. At least until Texas succeeds or something.
