The company also emphasized its commitment to privacy, stating that all requests are anonymized, conversations are not stored, and no personal data is retained. Users do not need to create an account to use Leo, and if they sign up for Leo Premium, their purchase details cannot be linked to their usage. In the future, Leo will support other document and file types, including GitHub for code review.
Key takeaways:
- Brave's AI assistant Leo now has the ability to interact with PDFs and Google Drive files, offering insights and suggestions to users working with these documents.
- Leo can extract topics and data from PDFs, propose relevant terms or writing styles in Google Docs, analyze tables and data in Google Sheets, and produce video transcripts from YouTube videos.
- Brave ensures user privacy by proxying all requests through an anonymization server, not persisting conversations on their servers, and not requiring a login or account for access to Leo.
- Leo's support for PDFs, Google Docs, and Google Sheets is available now for all Brave desktop users on version 1.63 or higher.
