Originally Published 1 year ago — by Search Engine Journal

Brave has announced a new privacy-focused AI search engine called Answer with AI, which operates with its own search index of billions of websites and serves 10 billion search queries per year. The search engine does not default to answering commercial or transactional queries with AI, providing good news for SEOs and online businesses. Brave's AI search engine is powered by its own search index and utilizes Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) technology. It plans to integrate the AI search functionality directly into the Brave Browser and offers tips for ranking well, emphasizing the importance of Schema.org structured data.
