About

What is Brave Leo?

Brave Leo is an AI assistant built natively into the Brave browser, designed to provide AI capabilities with a strong emphasis on user privacy. It allows users to interact with web pages by asking for video transcripts or interactive article summaries directly within the browser, without needing to leave the current page. Leo can also suggest follow-up questions, augment original content, and assist with reading comprehension. Powered by the Llama 2 large language model, Brave Leo ensures user inputs are submitted anonymously through a reverse-proxy, and conversations are not stored on Brave's servers, guaranteeing privacy. It is currently available for testing in the Nightly desktop channel, with plans for wider release.
