The dashboard is Bravo on the web. Use it for standalone work on a full screen, on any device, with no extension needed. Everything you did in the Chrome extension sidebar is here too, because both places share the same chats, topics, and settings. Opening the dashboard starts a new chat.
Dashboard sidebar
The sidebar runs down the left side. New chat starts a fresh conversation, and so does ⇧⌘O on a Mac or Ctrl+Shift+O on Windows and Linux. Chats opens all your conversations, and Topics opens all your topics. The search button beside the Bravo logo searches your chats from any page.
- Pinned gathers what you pinned, topics first and then chats. It appears once you pin something.
- Recents lists your last 20 chats. Scroll to the bottom of Recents to load more.
- The account menu at the bottom, showing your name and email, holds Settings, Account, Plans & billing, What's new, and Help.
Chats
The Chats page holds your conversations, grouped by when you last used them: Today, This week, and Older. Pinned chats sit in their own group at the top.
- Open a chat from its row, or start a fresh one with the New chat button.
- Each row's ⋯ menu has Pin, Rename, and Delete. Pinning a chat moves it to the group at the top of the page and into the Pinned section of the navigation, alongside your pinned topics. You can also pin from the chat actions menu in the top corner while viewing a conversation. Unpin from the same menus.
- Past-message citations in Bravo answers open the matching chat at the message they cite. Links to a whole chat open it normally.
Working and unread chats
In Pinned, Recents, and the sidebar's Chats list, a spinner marks a chat Bravo is still working on, and a green check marks a chat with a reply you have not seen yet. Opening the chat anywhere clears the check everywhere. Every open Bravo tab and the sidebar stay in sync on their own, so new titles, renames, pins, and deletes show up without a reload.
Tab icon while Bravo works
If you switch to another browser tab while Bravo is answering, the Bravo tab's icon shows a grey dot until the reply is ready, then a green check
until you come back to the tab.
Search
You can see recent conversations and search from both the sidebar and the dashboard. Sidebar search and dashboard search are equally capable. The dashboard Chats page shows more information in the search results, which makes it better for scanning and comparing matches.
Use the search field at the top of the Chats page.
Search can match chat titles, subjects, page names, page URLs, filenames, message text, and generated snippets. In the dashboard, a result that matched message text opens the chat at that message.
Type what you remember: a title, a phrase from a message, or the subject in your own words. Results leave out chats that do not fit the search.
Tip: If search does not find the right conversation, ask Bravo to find it. Bravo can run a more thorough search and use context from matching messages.
Titles and summaries
A new chat is untitled until Bravo names it a few seconds after the first reply. As the conversation develops, Bravo may keep updating the generated summary and, unless you renamed the chat, the generated title. Summaries appear in chat listings, not inside the conversation itself.
If you rename a chat, Bravo keeps your title. It will not replace a manually renamed chat with an automatically generated title later.
Renaming chats
You can rename a chat in three places:
- From the recent-chat row menu in the navigation. You can also double-click a recent chat title there to rename it.
- From a row's ⋯ menu on the Chats page.
- In the Chrome extension sidebar, by clicking the chat's title at the top and choosing Rename.
Deleting chats
You can delete a chat from several places:
- From the chat actions menu in the top corner while viewing a conversation.
- From the recent-chat row menu in the navigation.
- From a row's ⋯ menu on the Chats page.
- From the chat title menu in the Chrome extension sidebar.
Deleting a chat hides it from your chats and search results, and deletes any links you shared for it. For a few seconds after deletion, an Undo button appears. Undoing the delete brings the chat back along with the links it had, except any you already deleted separately from Your Data settings.
If the undo option is gone, see Recovering a deleted item.
Topics
The Topics page shows every topic as a card, with pinned ones first. For what a topic is and how Bravo keeps it current, see Topics.
- New topic in the header creates one.
- A card's ⋯ menu has Pin, Rename, and Delete. Renaming happens right on the card, and deleting leaves an Undo button for a few seconds. The menu appears when you hover a card, and stays visible on a touch screen.
- Once a group passes 24 topics, Show more under it loads the rest.
Settings
Settings, in the account menu at the bottom of the navigation, holds Personalization, Connections, Plans & billing, Account, and Your Data. See Personalization for your nickname, custom instructions, memory, theme, and display size, and Your account for profile details, your plan, and closing your account.
