Preferences

Set Bravo preferences in Preferences.

  • 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 are account-level guidance for how Bravo should communicate with you. They are saved in Preferences and apply across conversations after you save them. Use them for standing preferences you want Bravo to remember, not for one-time instructions that only apply to 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 custom instructions, clear the field and save.

What custom instructions can guide

Use custom instructions for stable preferences: language, regional style, tone, answer structure, depth, assumed context, and when Bravo should create downloadable files.

Examples

  • 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.
  • Be direct and low-fluff. Skip praise unless it is substantively useful.
  • 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.
  • For long research summaries, answer inline first and attach a longer source-by-source brief when useful.

Good custom instructions are specific

Prefer concrete, testable instructions over vague descriptions. Keep answers under three sentences unless I ask for detail is clearer than be concise. Lead with the answer, then explain the reasoning is clearer than be helpful.

Specific wording also travels better between models. Different AI models can interpret the same instruction a little differently, and concrete, testable preferences are the ones they follow most consistently.

If you have several preferences, put the most important ones 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, low-fluff, and candid. Skip praise unless it is substantively useful.
Response structure: Lead with the answer. Use bullets for comparisons and numbered lists for steps.
Use tables when comparing 3+ options.
Files: Put long drafts, reusable templates, cleaned data, or large tables in downloadable files.
Depth: Assume I am familiar with sales, support, and operations workflows. Skip basic explanations.
When unsure: Say what you know, what you are assuming, and what would change your answer.
Sources: Cite sources for factual claims when you look things up or use provided documents.
Quality bar: Challenge weak reasoning and call out uncertainty clearly.

Theme

You can change the app's theme in Preferences. 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%.
