Brave Leo is free for desktop Nightly users and doesn't require a user login or account. Conversations in Leo are not stored on Brave's servers and are discarded immediately after the reply is generated. The browser only shares the latest query, ongoing conversation history, and necessary context from the active page with the server. Future plans for Leo include access to live information, improvements in accuracy, and user experience, with a broader release to all Brave browser users in the coming months.
Key takeaways:
- Brave has introduced Leo, an AI assistant built into the Brave browser, available for testing and feedback in the Nightly desktop channel.

- Leo does not have access to live information currently, but future releases plan to incorporate this feature, powered by Brave Search.
