Brave integrates Leo AI assistant into its search engine

Brave Software, a company known for its privacy-focused search engine and web browser, is integrating search results into its chatbot Leo. These results are provided via the Brave Search API, and Leo is built directly into the Brave browser. The integration aims to help users access more relevant information.

Here's What We Know

Users can use this feature to get the latest results, gather additional context when reading articles, and find the latest trending topics to enhance their social media posts.

Brave emphasises that this integration is privacy-friendly, as it does not require a login. Conversations with the chatbot are not stored on Brave's servers and are not used to train the AI model. Queries are passed through an anonymisation server to protect users' personal data.

For those looking for advanced features, Leo Premium is available for $14.99 per month, offering higher limits and access to the latest models. Brave ensures privacy for premium users by issuing untethered tokens upon subscription, which prevents personal identification.
