Build a daily research digest with Brave Leo and Ocelot

Leo is built into Brave, so there's no extension to install.

1. 1Download Brave from brave.com, install it and open any web page.
2. 2Click the Leo icon in the sidebar. Or type a question in the address bar and pick Ask Leo.
3. 3The first time, read the notice and opt in to Leo.

You should see the Leo chat box open in the sidebar, next to the page.

One bookmarks folder turns your morning reading into a fixed list you can open in seconds.

1. 1Open each source you read for work and bookmark it into a new folder named Daily digest.
2. 2Keep it to 5 to 10 pages that change daily, such as a blog's front page or a release notes page.
3. 3Each morning, open every page in the folder in its own tab.

You should see a Daily digest folder in your bookmarks with 5 to 10 pages in it.

Ocelot is Brave's own model, built only to summarize web pages.

1. 1On the first tab, open Leo and click Summarize this page.
2. 2Under the answer, open the Retry same model menu and pick Brave Ocelot.
3. 3Leo writes the summary again with Ocelot. Repeat this on each tab.

You should see a new summary, with Brave Ocelot shown as the current model in the Retry same model menu.

Ocelot only writes summaries, so a follow-up question goes to a general model. If Ocelot already shows as current, Leo used it the first time.

One running note gives Leo all of today's reading in a single paste.

1. 1Open a blank note in any app, such as Apple Notes, Obsidian or a plain text file.
2. 2For each tab, paste the page title and link, then Ocelot's summary under it.
3. 3Delete anything you already knew, so the note holds only new items.

You should see one note with a short summary under each source's title and link.

Ranking the day's news needs a general chat model, and Leo's Automatic mode picks one for you.

1. 1Start a new chat in Leo, so old pages don't mix in.
2. 2Paste the prompt below, put your job in place of [YOUR ROLE], then paste your note at the end.
3. 3Send it and read the ranking.

Below are summaries of the pages I read today, each with its source. I work as [YOUR ROLE]. Pick the 3 items that matter most for my work today. For each one, give a one-line headline, why it matters to me and one action I could take. Then list the items I can safely skip. Use only the summaries below.

[PASTE YOUR NOTE]

You should see 3 ranked items, each with a reason and an action, then a short skip list.

A skill turns tomorrow's digest into one short command.

1. 1On the message you sent in step 5, open the options menu (⋮) and select Save as New Skill.
2. 2Name it Daily digest, set the shortcut to digest and delete your pasted note from the prompt.
3. 3Click Save. Tomorrow, type /digest, paste the new note and send.

You should see Daily digest in your skills list when you type / in Leo.
