Ask Brave Combines Chat and Search
Brave isn’t just surfing the AI wave; it’s carving its own path. While giants like Google are streamlining AI summaries, Brave’s browser and search engine are taking a different tack with “Leo,” their AI assistant. Forget a simple “summarize” button; Brave integrates Leo directly into your browsing experience, offering intelligent follow-up on your searches – if you’re using the Brave browser, of course. It’s a subtle but powerful shift, embedding AI help deeper into your daily online journey.
Brave Search just leveled up. Forget juggling tabs for search results and AI insights – it’s all seamlessly fused into one. And the best part? This powerful combo isn’t shackled to the Brave browser anymore. Experience the full AI-powered Brave Search, no matter your browser of choice.
Brave’s AI Chats Stay Private
“Is this just Brave morphing into Google AI? Fair question. Brave’s made no secret of its ambition to go head-to-head with the tech giant.”
Gemini’s Achilles’ heel? Privacy. While Google boasts secure data storage, your conversations could become fodder for AI training. Let’s face it: data breaches happen. Think twice, because deleting your history and using temporary chats are your only defenses against potential exposure.
Or, choose Brave AI: where your conversations remain entirely yours. No logging, no training just pure, private interaction. Experience AI that respects your privacy.
Your conversations vanish like whispers in the wind. After 24 hours of silence, your chats self-destruct. Consider it a fleeting rendezvous – a chance to revisit your discoveries before they’re swept away by the sands of time. Missed your chance? Poof. They’re gone.
Think Fort Knox for your conversations. Every chat is locked down with end-to-end encryption, andyouhold the only key, safely stored on your device. This ironclad privacy shield is free, instant, and requires absolutely no account. Want to share the chat? Youcanmake it public, but even then, it vanishes after just seven days.
Worried Google’s AI chatbot is watching you? They might be. One sneaky trick: linking your chats to your IP address, like leaving digital footprints back to your doorstep. Fight back with privacy browser extensions that scramble those footprints! Brave takes it a step further – itneverstores your IP, so your AI conversations stay yours alone.
