Brave Leo AI
What it is
Brave Leo is the AI assistant inside the Brave browser on desktop, Android and iOS. Users can ask it to summarize the page in the current tab, explain a PDF or Google Doc, translate text, draft emails and essays, or help with code, and it can draw on Brave Search for current information. Brave says Leo does not retain chats or use them to train models, and no account is needed. It offers models from several providers, temporary chats, local chat history, tab organization and a Bring Your Own Model option for local or remote models. Leo is free, and Leo Premium adds more models and higher limits.

Editor's notes
More context from AI BirdView
Brave Leo puts an assistant right where people already read and research: the browser tab. You can ask about the page in front of you, summarize a long document or have it draft a reply without copying text into a separate app. What makes it distinct is Brave's privacy approach, with no login required and a stated policy of not keeping chats or training on them.
- Summarize or question any webpage, PDF, Google Doc or Sheet
- Answers enhanced with Brave Search for fresher information
- Bring Your Own Model lets you plug in local or remote models
- Temporary chats that disappear when closed
- Tab organization that groups pages by topic
It is best for Brave users and privacy-minded readers who want quick help with what they are browsing. A practical tip: type a question in the address bar and choose Ask Leo for the fastest access, and try the free tier for a while before upgrading, since Premium mainly adds more models and higher usage limits.
