About
Brave browser's built-in AI assistant with a privacy-first approach — no tracking, no data collection, and conversations deleted after each session.
In-Depth Review
Brave Leo is the AI assistant built into the Brave browser, designed from the ground up for privacy. Unlike AI tools that require accounts and store conversation history, Leo processes queries locally or via anonymous proxies, with no data tied to user accounts or sold to advertisers. The free tier runs on Mixtral 8x7B, while the Leo AI Pro subscription (4.99/month or 4.99/month) provides access to Claude Sonnet, Llama 3.1 405B, and other top-tier models. Leo can summarize web pages, answer questions about current content, write and rewrite text, and assist with coding tasks. It integrates into the Brave sidebar and is accessible on both desktop and mobile. For users who want AI assistance without the privacy trade-offs of cloud-logged conversations, Leo fills a genuine niche. The lack of persistent memory is by design: each session starts fresh.
