Overview

  • The new interface blends search results with AI chat to produce longer, report-style answers with follow-ups and media enrichments.
  • It runs in standard or Deep Research modes and uses Brave’s Search API for grounding, with the company citing 94.9% SimpleQA accuracy.
  • Access is available free from any browser at search.brave.com/ask or via the Ask button, the Ask tab, or by appending “??” to queries.
  • The tool complements rather than replaces Brave’s existing AI Answers summarizer introduced in 2023.
  • Brave says chats are encrypted, deleted after 24 hours of inactivity, not used for training, and not linked to IP logs, and it expects millions more daily AI answers on top of its current 15 million.
