Brave browser has launched Leo, its advanced AI assistant, for iPhone and iPad users. Leo, which has already made waves on Android and desktop platforms, offers a plethora of features including question answering, content summarization, content creation, and more.
What sets the iOS version of Leo apart is its voice-to-text capability, a feature absent in the Android iteration. With this enhancement, users can effortlessly convert spoken words into text, eliminating the need for manual typing when interacting with the AI. This intuitive functionality promises to streamline user interactions and enhance the overall experience.
What can Leo do?
Leo can handle any number of tasks, both in the context of the webpages you’re viewing and completely separate from this context. Among other things, Leo can:
- Create real-time summaries of webpages and PDFs
- Answer questions about content
- Get instant answers for queries
- Generate new long-form written content such as reports, articles, or social media
- Translate pages, analyze, or rewrite them
- Write and suggest software code for multiple languages

In addition to these great core use cases, we integrated Leo in the Brave browser app especially with mobile users in mind, including:
- Voice-to-text: Use your iOS device’s voice-to-text functionality to speak prompts directly to Leo, converting your spoken words into written text without typing.
- Docs and PDF summaries: Leo can summarize different types of content files—including PDFs—making it much easier to consume dense content on a small screen.
- Google Docs integration: You can use Leo to power your mobile productivity with the Google Docs and Google Sheets integration. Brainstorm and assist on writing, create quick summaries, translate, and more.
Leo leverages cutting-edge LLMs including Mixtral 8x7B, Anthropic’s Claude Instant, and Meta’s Llama 2 13B. While Mixtral 8x7B serves as the default LLM for Leo, users have the flexibility to choose alternative models or upgrade to Leo Premium for enhanced features.
Users can subscribe to Leo Premium for $14.99/month, and one subscription covers up to 5 different devices across iOS, Android, Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Brave joins the ranks of browser companies embracing AI assistants, following Opera’s launch of Aria in collaboration with OpenAI. Aria, boasting a chatbot-like interface, enables users to ask questions and receive instant responses.
Excitingly, Brave Leo for iOS is now available to all users on version 1.63. Accessing Leo is seamless: simply open the browser, initiate a search in the address bar, and select “Ask Leo.” It’s worth noting that Leo is an opt-in feature and can be easily disabled through the app’s settings menu.
With Leo, Brave continues its mission to revolutionize browsing by integrating cutting-edge AI technology, empowering users with intelligent assistance and seamless functionality.
