Easy, private AI

Brave offers free, simple, private AI for users of any ability. It's also powering many of the most widely used AI and search experiences on the Web today via the Brave Search API.

Ask Brave

Brave Search is the world’s most complete non-Big Tech search engine, and the only independent search with privacy at its core. Its “Ask Brave” feature synthesizes content from billions of webpages to create AI-powered answers, right in the search results page.

Brave Search gets more than 50 million user queries per day. With millions of those queries triggering an AI answer, Brave Search is by volume one of the most widely used answer engines in the world.

Use cases:

Synthesize content from multiple webpages in a single, concise answer
Get summaries about people and places, news and sports, coding, research, and more

Differentiators:

Private, accurate AI-powered answers, right in the SERP
Very low latency, no tracking
Always cites its sources
Free of Big Tech
Available on desktop & mobile

Brave Leo AI

Brave Leo is the smart AI assistant built right into the browser. Ask questions, summarize pages, create new content, and more. Privately.

Brave Leo makes every page interactive. You can chat about topics related to the pages you’re reading, videos you’re watching, and more. It can analyze, translate, and even create new content.

Leo doesn’t retain or share chats, or use them for model training. No account or login is required, and you can bring your own models. Also note that Leo—like all of our AI features—is completely optional, so Brave users can easily stick to a non-AI browsing experience.

Use cases:

Analyze webpages, PDFs, images, Google Docs and Sheets, and more
Generate new content
Summarize multiple open webpages and tabs in the same chat

Differentiators:

Private
Available right in the browser
No account or login required
Available on desktop & mobile

This table examines default configurations on individual, non-enterprise accounts/plans.

It is located in the Karakoram range, on the border between the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan and the Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County of Xinjiang, China.\n\nK2 is known as the \"Savage Mountain,\" a nickname attributed to climber George Bell after the 1953 American expedition, due to its extreme difficulty and high fatality rate. It is considered a more challenging climb than Mount Everest, the world's highest peak, because of its steep slopes, unpredictable weather, and technical climbing routes.\n\nThe first successful ascent of K2 was achieved on July 31, 1954, by Italian climbers Lino Lacedelli and Achille Compagnoni as part of an expedition led by Ardito Desio. As of August 2023, approximately 800 people have summited K2, with 96 recorded deaths during attempts.\n\nK2 is also known by other names, including Mount Godwin-Austen and Chogori, though it is most commonly referred to by its survey designation. In January 2021, it became the last of the 14 eight-thousanders to be summited in winter, accomplished by a team of Nepalese climbers led by Nirmal Purja and Mingma Gyalje Sherpa."
