Deep dives
The Backstory behind Brave and the Brave Leo AI Project
Brian Bondi, the CTO and co-founder of Brave Software, shares the origin story of Brave and how he got involved. He mentions being approached by Brendan Eich, the creator of JavaScript, who wanted to start a browser company. Bondi's expertise in building browsers and his reputation at Mozilla led him to join forces with Eich and co-found Brave. They obtained seed investment and now have a large team working on creating a browser, search engine, cryptocurrency wallet, AI, and more. One of the key topics discussed is the Brave Leo AI project, which aims to integrate AI directly into the browser. The goal is to provide users with a unified experience, allowing them to converse with the AI agent about the content they're viewing, ask questions, and receive recommendations and deeper insights.
