Connected apps
Bravo can connect to Gmail, Outlook Mail, Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox. Manage your connected apps in Connections settings. You can connect several accounts, like work and personal or Google and Microsoft, and name one by its address when you ask Bravo about it. Connecting an account gives Bravo its mail, calendar, and files together. On Google you can untick a service in Google's consent screen and Bravo will use only what you allowed; Reconnect on the Connections page asks again.
- Gmail: search and summarize messages, threads, labels, and attachments.
- Outlook Mail: search and summarize messages, conversations, folders, and attachments in a Microsoft 365 work or school account, or a personal Outlook.com account.
- Google Calendar: find events, attendees, times, and meeting details, and draft add-to-calendar links for you to save.
- Outlook Calendar: find events, attendees, times, and meeting details, and draft add-to-calendar links for you to save.
- Google Drive: find and read Docs, Sheets, Slides, PDFs, and other files you can access.
- OneDrive: search your OneDrive, browse your folders, and read the files you ask about, including PDFs, documents, and spreadsheets. OneNote notebooks, Loop pages, and files shared from someone else's OneDrive open by link but can't be read yet.
- Dropbox: search your Dropbox, browse your folders by path, and read the files you ask about, including PDFs, documents, and spreadsheets.
Connecting in chat
Bravo may ask you to connect Gmail, Outlook Mail, Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox during a conversation when your request needs one of those apps. The prompt explains that access is read-only. You can connect or skip; if you do not respond, the request can time out and you can try again.
Connecting opens a browser popup. If nothing opens, see connection issues.
Read-only access
Every connection uses read-only scopes: gmail.readonly, calendar.readonly, and drive.readonly for Google apps, Mail.Read for Outlook Mail, Calendars.Read for Outlook Calendar, Files.Read for OneDrive, and account_info.read, files.metadata.read, and files.content.read for Dropbox. Bravo can read matching data when you ask for something that needs it, but it cannot send email, edit calendar events, modify or move files, share files or create shared links, or change your settings at any of these providers. Bravo does not use your content to train AI.
If you ask Bravo to rewrite, clean up, or transform a Gmail or Outlook Mail attachment, Drive file, OneDrive file, or Dropbox file, Bravo creates a separate downloadable file in the chat instead of editing the original.
When Bravo answers from a connected app, replies may include source links back to the original email thread, event, or file when one is available.
For the legal version of Bravo's connected app data use, see the Privacy Policy on Google Workspace data and Dropbox data.
Google Workspace admin approval
Work or school Google accounts can be restricted by Google Workspace admin policy. If Google shows admin_policy_enforced, app blocked, or a message that the application is not allowed by your administrator, your Workspace admin needs to allow Bravo in the Google Admin console under Security → Access and data control → API controls.
This can affect Google sign-in and the separate Gmail, Calendar, and Drive connection flows. Email sign-in links and Microsoft sign-in may still work when Google sign-in is blocked, but connecting Gmail, Calendar, or Drive still requires Google approval. Google may classify Gmail and Drive read-only scopes as high-risk, so read-only access does not always bypass Workspace approval.
Microsoft admin approval
Work or school Microsoft accounts can be restricted by your organization. If Microsoft shows Need admin approval when you connect Outlook Mail, Outlook Calendar, or OneDrive, your Microsoft 365 admin needs to approve Bravo for your organization. Choosing Return to the application without granting consent leaves the app disconnected until they do. The quickest path is on that same page: an admin picks Have an admin account? Sign in with that account, signs in, and accepts on behalf of the organization. An admin can also approve it later in the Microsoft Entra admin center under Enterprise applications → Bravo AI Integrations → Permissions with Grant admin consent, or under Enterprise applications → Admin consent requests if your organization routes requests there. Then connect the account again. One approval covers Outlook Mail, Outlook Calendar, and OneDrive. If your organization approved an older set of permissions, your admin may need to approve the additional access when you reconnect.
Bravo AI Integrations is published by bravo.ai as a verified Microsoft publisher. It asks for read-only access to your mail (Mail.Read), calendar (Calendars.Read), and files (Files.Read), plus permission to read your basic profile and stay connected. Your admin can remove this access later from the same Bravo AI Integrations page in Enterprise applications.
Disconnecting and reconnecting
Remove an account in Connections settings. For a Microsoft account, this removes it from Bravo but leaves Microsoft's permission in place. To revoke access at the provider, use the matching link below.
- In Google: Google account → Connections. Select Bravo and remove its access.
- For Microsoft work or school accounts: My Apps. Open Bravo's menu, choose Manage your application, then Revoke permissions. If your admin approved access, ask them to revoke it.
- For personal Microsoft accounts: Apps and services permissions. Select Bravo and remove its permissions.
- In Dropbox: Dropbox account → Connected apps. Select Bravo and disconnect it.
If a connected app says it needs reconnection, reconnect it from Connections settings. This can happen when access expires, is revoked, or needs a fresh authorization.
If Bravo asks to connect the Google account in your browser tab, that account isn't connected yet. Connect it, switch accounts in the browser tab, or manage your accounts in Connections settings.
Page and URL access
The Chrome extension sidebar can use the browser tab you are currently viewing. If you ask about another page that is already open in Chrome, Bravo can use that live tab too, even in another window.
Dashboard chat works without the extension. When the extension is installed and connected, dashboard chats can also use pages you have open in Chrome. Paste or click a URL in a dashboard chat and Bravo can use the live tab if that page is already open; otherwise, public pages can still be fetched remotely. For private, login-only, or local pages and documents, use the extension while viewing the page or upload/export the file into the chat.
Bravo keeps this narrow by design: the page you are on, plus related pages you opened from it.
That gives Bravo enough browser context to answer well without pulling unrelated tabs into the conversation. If you move a related tab to another Chrome window, it can stay with the same chat. Tabs already tied to another chat stay there.
Tip: Open a few pages in tabs, then ask Bravo to compare them. This works well for pricing pages, product specs, policies, or competing claims across websites.
Gmail drafts
Most Gmail questions use the connected Gmail integration above. Draft reading is different: Bravo reads visible draft content from an open mail.google.com tab through the Chrome extension. It works from the sidebar or a connected dashboard, including when the Gmail tab is in another Chrome window. Bravo can read drafts when you ask, but it still cannot send or edit email for you.
YouTube
On YouTube pages, the Chrome extension can show a Summarize Video button. Bravo can also use the transcript from an open youtube.com/watch tab when YouTube makes one available to the page. This can work from the sidebar or a connected dashboard, including across Chrome windows. Transcript access can depend on the YouTube page, your sign-in state, and whether the video has a usable transcript.
