Brave's AI Search API Outperforms Competitors in Test; Marketers Cite Quality Issues

By PulseAugur Editorial · [6 sources] ·

Brave's AI-powered search API, Ask Brave, has reportedly outperformed competitors like Perplexity and Grok in a self-administered test, achieving an Elo rating of 1169 compared to Grok's 1157. The API is priced at $5 per 1,000 calls and was evaluated using Claude models. Separately, a survey indicates that while generative AI has increased creative output volume for 88% of marketers, it has only improved quality for 45%, with a significant portion still relying on outdated demographic data for AI prompts.
