Google connected apps

Bravo can connect to Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Drive. Each app is connected separately and managed at Connections settings.

  • Gmail: search and summarize messages, threads, labels, and attachments.
  • Google Calendar: find events, attendees, times, and meeting details.
  • Google Drive: find and read Docs, Sheets, Slides, PDFs, and other files you can access.

Connecting in chat

Bravo may ask you to connect Gmail, Calendar, or Drive 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.

Google connection opens a browser popup. If nothing opens, see Google connection issues.

Read-only access

Google app connections use read-only OAuth scopes: gmail.readonly, calendar.readonly, and drive.readonly. Bravo can read matching data when you ask for something that needs it, but it cannot send email, edit calendar events, modify Drive files, move files, share files, or change Google settings. Bravo does not use your content to train AI.

If you ask Bravo to rewrite, clean up, or transform a Gmail attachment or Drive file, Bravo creates a separate downloadable file in the chat instead of editing the original.

When Bravo answers from Gmail, Calendar, or Drive, 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 Google Workspace data use, see the Privacy Policy.

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 Continue with Google sign-in and the separate Gmail, Calendar, and Drive connection flows. Email sign-in links 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.

Disconnecting and reconnecting

You can disconnect Google access from either side:

If a connected app says it needs reconnection, reconnect it from Connections settings. This can happen when Google access expires, is revoked, or needs a fresh authorization.

If you see a Google account mismatch, the Google account in your browser tab differs from the one connected to Bravo. Switch accounts in the browser tab, or reconnect the app from 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.
