Brave Leo AI: Your Browser’s Smart Chat Assistant
Introduction
In the ever-evolving world of technology, Brave Leo AI stands out as a unique and privacy-focused chat assistant. Built natively into the Brave browser, Leo combines the power of artificial intelligence with unparalleled privacy features. Let’s explore what makes Leo special and how you can use it to enhance your browsing experience.
What Is Brave Leo AI?
Brave Leo AI is an intelligent chat assistant hosted directly by Brave, without relying on third-party AI services. Here are some key features:
Privacy First: Leo ensures your conversations remain private and anonymous. No user login or account is required, and chats are discarded immediately after generating a reply. Your data isn’t stored in the first place.
Seamless Interaction: Leo allows you to interact with web pages without leaving them. Whether you need video transcripts, article summaries, or follow-up questions, Leo provides answers directly within the browsing experience.
Llama 2 Model: The model behind Leo is Llama 2, a large language model released by Meta (formerly Facebook) with a strong focus on safety. User inputs are submitted anonymously through a reverse-proxy, ensuring unparalleled privacy.
How to Use Brave Leo AI
Nightly Version: Make sure you’re using the Nightly version of the Brave browser (version 1.59 or later).

Getting Better Results

Remember
