Key points
- Brave Search powers AI answers through its API for other chatbots and LLMs, operating as a B2B backend even when users don't realize it.
- Brave offers BYOM (bring your own model) to run AI locally on machines, keeping user interactions private and not collected by the company.
- BAT 4.0 roadmap includes stablecoin payments, X402 and MPP payments for AI agents, and a Brave card that rewards users in BAT tokens.
- Brave is implementing profiles and containers to separate different AI agents and their data access, addressing privacy and security concerns.
- Stablecoins are positioned as the primary on-ramp for non-crypto users to adopt crypto payments within the browser ecosystem.
In their own words
“When you're getting AI answers, a lot of the time you're getting some answers from Brave as well.”
“We want people to have an option. That's what we build towards: user first.”
