Changes
- June 24, 2026: Added a Timezone preference. Chats use your browser's timezone automatically; this sets the default Bravo uses elsewhere, like the dates in your memory.
- June 10, 2026: Documented sources on replies: when Bravo answers from webpages, emails, calendar events, Drive files, or past chats, citations link back to the original item.
- June 5, 2026: Documented the new “Auto” default that picks a strong, always-current model for you, and favorites for one-tap switching between the models you use most.
- June 4, 2026: Updated browser-capability docs for connected dashboard chats, related open tabs across Chrome windows, Gmail draft reading from open tabs, and YouTube transcript access from open tabs.
- June 2, 2026: Added a “Choosing a model” page covering the supported models from major AI labs, picking a model and its thinking level, and where to find which model answered.
- May 28, 2026: Added troubleshooting for Chrome site access, blocked extension installs, repeated logout causes, and Google Workspace admin OAuth approval for Google sign-in and connected apps.
- May 27, 2026: Added canonical pages for Chats & History and Integrations & Browser Capabilities; expanded chat, account, billing, preferences, troubleshooting, and AI-readable docs links.
- May 15, 2026: Expanded the Chat article's file guidance with examples for uploads, connected Gmail and Drive files, generated downloads, and image edits.
- May 12, 2026: Documented the per-message footer buttons (Copy, Flag, Details) in the Chat article, including the new “Answered by” line that names the AI model used for each reply and the Option-click shortcut for technical details. Also added a
#reporting-bugsanchor on Troubleshooting so the Chat article can link to it. - May 11, 2026: Folded “Closing your account” into “Your account,” added conversation search guidance to Chat, and moved Personalization before Plans & Billing in topic navigation.
- May 11, 2026: Expanded the Getting started “Signing in” section to explain the two sign-up options (Google and email magic link): noted that either method works the same, that Google sign-in only requests your email address (no Gmail/Calendar/Drive permissions), and that both methods log into the same account as long as the email matches.

#custom-instructionsanchor on the Personalization article so the dashboard can link directly to that section. - April 29, 2026: Expanded documentation coverage: separated Personalization into a top-level section with detailed custom instructions guidance and a copyable template; updated account wording from “Occupation” to “Company”; clarified folder uploads; refreshed sidebar-opening guidance; documented the floating Bravo icon; updated message feedback instructions for the flag icon; removed the Chrome Enhanced Protection “not trusted” troubleshooting note; and corrected the font size range to 75–150%.
