Text Brea in iMessage

Text Brea the way you would text a person. One request per message works best, but you can also ask for several things at once.

When Brea gets your message, it marks it as read and shows that it is typing. Most replies come in a few seconds. Work in a browser takes longer. Brea first tells you it’s on it, then sends the result as a new message.

Brea’s number

The top of the home page in your settings shows Brea’s number under “Text Brea at”, with a Text Brea button.

Brea’s number can change. If Brea texts you from a new number, that is normal. Your settings home page always shows the current number.

Photos, files, and voice memos

You can send Brea:

• Photos. Brea can see them. Ask it to read a receipt, a sign, or a screenshot. Brea can also edit them. See Pictures.
• Files. Brea can read PDFs and spreadsheets, and work with the numbers in them. For example, send two bank exports and ask for the total by merchant. Brea can’t read a scanned PDF that has no text in it.
• Voice memos and audio files. Brea turns them into text and replies to what you said. An audio file can be up to 5 MB.

Each file can be up to 25 MB.

If a file doesn’t arrive, Brea tells you and asks you to send it again. If Brea can’t turn a recording into text, it tells you and asks you to type the message or send it again.

Files from Brea

Brea can send you files, like a statement it downloaded from a website, an attachment from your email, or a spreadsheet it made. They arrive as attachments in the same thread. If a file can’t be sent over iMessage, Brea names the file in its message.

Group chats

Brea doesn’t reply in group chats. Text it one to one.

Tell Brea how to reply

There is no setting for Brea’s tone. Tell it in a message, like “keep replies short” or “call me Sam”. Brea remembers it. See Memory.
