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 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 topics 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.

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%.

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 Preferences.

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