Installing
Install from the Chrome Web Store.
Signing in
Click the Bravo icon in your Chrome toolbar to open the sidebar. You'll see two options: Continue with Google or Send login link.
Either method works the same. There's no difference in how the product functions, what you get access to, or what we store. Pick whichever is easier.
- Continue with Google. Bravo only asks Google for your email address. No Gmail, Calendar, or Drive access at sign-in. Those are separate opt-ins under Integrations & browser capabilities.
- Send login link. Enter your email and we'll send you a one-time email sign-in link. No password to remember.
One account per email. The two methods are interchangeable as long as the email matches. Sign up with Google using you@work.com, sign in later with a sign-in link to you@work.com, and you'll land in the same account.
Where Bravo works
Bravo has two places to use it: the Chrome extension sidebar and the dashboard. Use the sidebar when you want Bravo to work directly with the browser tab you are viewing. Use the dashboard for standalone chat, chat history, and account settings. If the Chrome extension is installed and connected, dashboard chats can also use pages you already have open in Chrome. See Page and URL access for how browser tab access works.
Using the dashboard
Use the dashboard for standalone chats, past conversations, and account settings. It still works without the Chrome extension. When Bravo does not detect the extension, the dashboard account menu shows Add the extension; installing it lets dashboard chats use pages you have open in Chrome. See Chats & history for starting, reopening, and searching dashboard chats.
See the dashboard chat library.
Opening the sidebar
Three ways to open the Bravo sidebar from any webpage.
1. Click the browser button
Click the Bravo icon pinned to your Chrome toolbar, next to the address bar. If you don't see it, click the puzzle-piece (Extensions) menu and pin Bravo so it's always visible.
See the browser button.
2. Click the floating icon
Bravo also injects a small floating icon into the bottom-right corner of every web page. Click it to open the sidebar. After a couple of seconds the icon tucks itself partway off the edge of the screen so it stays out of the way; move your cursor near the corner and it slides back into view.
See the floating icon.
3. Keyboard shortcut
Press Cmd+B on macOS or Ctrl+B on Windows/Linux from any webpage to toggle the sidebar. It opens the sidebar if it's closed and closes it if it's open.
Turning either off. Right-click the Bravo icon in the Chrome toolbar and choose Options.
Uncheck “Show the floating Bravo icon on web pages” to hide the floating icon, or uncheck “Toggle the side panel with Cmd+B” to turn off the shortcut.
