Personalization settings

Set Bravo preferences in Personalization.

  • Nickname: how Bravo addresses you
  • Company: where you work, for more relevant framing
  • Custom instructions: persistent communication preferences that Bravo should use across conversations

Custom instructions

Custom instructions tell Bravo how you want replies written or organized. They apply after you save them and work best for standing preferences, not one-time directions for the current chat.

The custom instructions field accepts up to 1,500 characters. Changes affect future responses. They do not rewrite earlier messages. To remove them, clear the field and save.

Writing good instructions

Concrete instructions work better than broad traits. Keep routine answers under three sentences is clearer than be concise. Lead with the answer, then explain the reasoning is clearer than be helpful.

Useful areas include language, regional style, tone, answer structure, depth, and files.

  • Always respond in Spanish unless I ask for another language.
  • Use British English. Prefer day-month-year dates and metric units.
  • Lead with the answer, then explain the reasoning.
  • Keep routine answers under three sentences. Use bullets for lists of three or more.
  • Skip basic explanations. Assume I’m familiar with sales, support, and operations workflows.
  • Put long report drafts, proposals, or polished memos in a downloadable Microsoft Word document.
  • Create downloadable CSV files for tables, lists, exports, or structured data.

Put the most important preferences first. If two preferences can conflict, explain the priority. For example: Usually keep answers short, but be thorough for legal, financial, medical, or engineering risk.

Use the current chat for temporary needs, such as for this answer, use a table, draft this in a friendlier tone, or ignore my usual brevity preference and be exhaustive.

Custom instructions guide how Bravo writes and organizes answers. They do not change what your account can access or which features are available, and Bravo may set them aside when following them would make an answer misleading, incomplete, or incompatible with the task.

Suggested template

Use this as a starting point, then delete anything that does not match your preferences.

Language and region: Use American English. Use MM/DD/YYYY dates.
Tone: Be direct and low-fluff. Skip praise unless it is substantively useful.
Structure: Lead with the answer. Use bullets for comparisons and numbered lists for steps.
Depth: Assume I know sales, support, and operations workflows. Skip basic explanations.
Files: Put long drafts, reusable templates, and large tables in downloadable files.
Uncertainty: Say what you know, what you are assuming, and what would change your answer.

Memory

Memory is the context Bravo keeps about you: your name, where you work, how you like answers written, the projects you keep coming back to. It comes along to every chat behind the scenes, so answers start with the right context. Bravo maintains it as you chat, and new details can take up to an hour to appear. Everything it keeps is visible and yours to change on the Memory page.

See the memory page.

Memory works like a topic: tell Bravo what to change in the text box at the bottom of the page, such as Remember that I prefer metric units or Forget my old address, or select text and click Edit this. Its history shows every change with the sources behind it, and Not right? starts a correction. See Editing a topic and Seeing what changed for the details.

When you tell Bravo to forget something, it drops the fact and does not bring it back from older chats. It returns only if it comes up again in a later conversation. Deleting a chat clears memory that came only from that chat. Facts still supported by another conversation stay.

Memory is on by default. Turn it off from the Memory section in Personalization, near the bottom of the page. While it's off, Bravo won't use memory in new chats and won't remember anything new from them. What it already knows is kept, so turn it back on and it picks up where it left off.

Theme

You can change the app's theme in Personalization. Themes are visual color choices only. They do not change Bravo's functionality or how answers are generated. You can also ask Bravo to change the theme for you.

Changing font size

Open the menu (three-dot icon, top right) → “Zoom” row → pick 75% to 150%.

The Zoom setting adjusts text size in the chat sidebar only. The dashboard has no separate Bravo zoom control. Use your browser's built-in zoom instead (⌘ and + or − on Mac, Ctrl and + or − on Windows and Linux).

Timezone

Set your timezone in Personalization.

Your chats already use your browser's timezone automatically, so there is nothing to set for those. This is the default Bravo uses elsewhere, including dates shown in your memory and topics. Bravo fills it in the first time you chat, and you can change it anytime.
