Leo

Brave Leo is an AI assistant that's integrated directly into the Brave browser. It's currently available for testing and feedback purposes in the Nightly desktop channel. Leo is accessible via the Brave Sidebar, enabling users to interact with webpages without navigating away from the current page.

It offers features like video transcripts, interactive summaries of articles, and assistance for better understanding the text. Functioning as a chatbot, Leo can respond to questions and propose related inquiries. Leveraging the Llama 2 language model by Meta, Leo protects user privacy by sending inputs anonymously through a reverse-proxy.

This privacy-centric design allows Brave to provide an AI experience that prioritizes user data protection. However, users should be aware that model outputs could potentially include inaccuracies or mistakes. Users can test Leo via the Brave Sidebar button, found in the Brave browser's Nightly channel.

User feedback regarding Leo's performance is welcome within Brave's community. Importantly, no login or account is needed to use Leo, and chats aren't used to improve the model.

After a response is generated, conversations with Leo are immediately removed, maintaining anonymity and privacy. Overall, Brave Leo provides a convenient AI assistant directly within the browsing experience, emphasizing privacy and ease of use.
