Overview / Description
Leo is Brave browser's built-in AI assistant, available without a separate account or subscription for Brave users. It answers questions, summarizes web pages, and discusses content from the current browser tab — with privacy as a core design principle: no conversation data is stored or used to train models.
Privacy-conscious users who want AI assistance without their queries being logged and analyzed use Leo as a natural extension of choosing Brave for browsing. The integration means Leo can summarize the current page without copying and pasting content into a separate tool.
Leo's capabilities are bounded by its role as a browser-integrated assistant rather than a standalone AI product. Complex agentic tasks, long research sessions, and multimodal work are better served by dedicated AI platforms. Its primary value is convenience and privacy within the browsing session.
