Sign up and say hi

You sign up with your phone number. You don’t need a password or a credit card. Every account is free.

1. On your phone, go to app.brea.ai/start.
2. Choose your country if it isn’t already selected, and enter your phone number.
3. Finish the security check if one shows, then tap Send code.
4. Enter the code we text you and tap Continue.
5. Wait a few seconds while the page says “Setting up Brea”.
6. On the Say hi to Brea. screen, tap Text Brea. Messages opens with “Hi Brea” filled in. Send it.

Brea replies to your first message. It doesn’t text you first.

The country list shows only the countries Brea can text.

If Messages doesn’t open

If you tap Text Brea and Messages doesn’t open, for example on a computer, the page shows “Messages didn’t open?” with Brea’s number. Text that number from your phone. Click Copy number to copy it.

You can find Brea’s number at any time at the top of the home page in your settings, under “Text Brea at”.

Text from the phone you signed up with

Brea answers only the phone number on your account. If you text from a different phone, you get no reply. To change the number, see Your account.

Sign up from an invite

If a friend sent you an invite link, open it and tap Accept My Invitation. Then follow the steps above. You don’t need an invite to sign up. See Invites.

If something goes wrong

• “Another Brea account uses this number. Sign out, then sign in with this number.” You already have an account with this phone number. Sign out, then sign in with this number.
• “This number already has a Brea account. Continue to sign in to it.” You were signed in to a different Brea account, so Brea signed you out of it. Continue, and sign in with this number.
• “Something went wrong.” Tap Try again. If it fails again, contact support.

Sign in later

To open your settings, go to app.brea.ai/settings. If you’re signed out, enter your phone number, tap Send code, then enter the code and tap Continue.
