How to use the built-in Brave Leo artificial intelligence for web page analysis and text generation?

The Brave browser features a built-in AI assistant called Brave Leo, which helps users analyze content, write texts, and generate summaries directly while browsing websites. This function works locally or via secure cloud connections with a focus on user privacy, without saving chat history or transferring data to third parties for model training.

To start working with Brave Leo, open any web page you want to explore and click on the star-shaped assistant icon in the sidebar, or invoke it via the settings menu. If the icon is hidden, go to the browser settings, find the sidebar section, and enable the display of the AI icon for quick access.

The tool allows you to perform the following main tasks:

After invoking the assistant interface on the right side of the screen, you can enter a text query or choose one of the ready-made interaction scenarios. For example, the article summarization button instantly outputs the main ideas of the material, saving time when reading voluminous publications. You can also ask Leo to explain a complex technical term directly on the page by highlighting it with the cursor and clicking the corresponding button in the context menu.

In the Brave Leo settings, users can select the base language model depending on their tasks, as well as manage the level of integration of the assistant with the browser interface. The feature is available on all major desktop platforms and is constantly updated by developers, adding new capabilities for working with text and visual data.
