Brave Search Gets AI-Powered Chat Feature With for Follow-Up Queries 63s26

Brave rolled out a new artificial intelligence (AI) feature for Brave Search on Thursday. Earlier this year, the San Francisco-based software company introduced ‘Answer with AI' to its search engine, a feature that shows AI-generated summaries for searched queries. Now, it has added an extension to this feature dubbed AI chat mode, which allows s to ask follow-up questions in a chat-like interface. This feature is currently available to all s on Brave's search engine.

However, unlike AI Overviews, Brave will now allow s to enter the rabbit hole by asking AI as many follow-up queries as they like. The AI chat mode appears at the bottom of the ‘Answer with AI' section as a thin text field. Once an additional query has been entered, a separate chat interface opens on top of the search page where the AI answers the query.

Gadgets 360 staff were able to test the feature and found that s can ask multiple follow-up queries. The interface is minimal with fast inference time and processing speed. The chatbot also shows all the reference websites from where the information was sourced on top of the response. Additionally, it also issues a warning asking s to critical facts.

The AI chat mode also allows s to copy the response and leave by either leaving a thumbs-up or thumbs-down remark. Further, s can open the searched query in a new tab and share the generated response by quickly copying the URL.

Brave claims that the AI feature offers all the privacy protections of the search engine and does not profile the or store the queries. The conversations with the AI are also not stored and kept private.

The company stated that the AI chat mode feature is powered by both the company's internal LLM and third-party AI models. The data is sourced from Brave Search results to keep the responses grounded and reduce the risks of AI hallucination.
