This page highlights notable product and platform work that is planned or in active development.
Upcoming items are directional and may change as implementation, security review, and customer feedback shape the final release.
Chrome Extension
Bring Brightwave into browser-based research workflows so users can capture sources, summarize pages, and send web context into projects.
Google Workspace Add-ons
Use Brightwave from Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and related Workspace surfaces without leaving the document you are working in.
Windows Store
Distribute the Brightwave desktop app through the Windows Store for simpler installation, updates, and managed deployment.
OAuth Connected Apps
Connect supported third-party services through OAuth authorization instead of manually managing API credentials.
Benchmarks
Evaluate document reasoning with mechanically verifiable benchmark tasks over multi-source fact graphs.
Chrome Extension
The Chrome extension will make Brightwave available directly from the browser. It is intended for workflows where the source material already lives on the web: company pages, filings, investor-relations sites, news articles, portals, and internal web tools.
Planned capabilities include capturing the current page into a Brightwave project, summarizing or extracting key facts from browser context, and sending selected passages into a chat or agent workflow with source attribution preserved.
Google Workspace Add-ons
Google Workspace add-ons will extend Brightwave into Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and related Workspace surfaces. The goal is to support the same research loop users already use in Microsoft 365: ask Brightwave for analysis, apply edits to the active document, and keep generated work connected to the project that produced it.
Expected use cases include drafting and revising reports in Docs, working with tabular analysis in Sheets, creating presentation content in Slides, and attaching Workspace documents as project sources.
Windows Store
The Windows Store release will provide another supported distribution channel for the Brightwave desktop app. This should make installation and updates easier for users on managed Windows environments, while giving IT teams a more familiar deployment path.
The existing web app and other download paths will continue to be supported.
OAuth Connected Apps
OAuth connected apps will let users authorize supported services through the provider's consent flow. Instead of copying API keys into Brightwave, users will approve access, review requested scopes, and revoke access from the provider when needed.
OAuth-based connections are planned to work alongside the existing connected-app model. Project-level enablement will remain important: even when a service is connected to a user or workspace, teams should still be able to decide which projects can use it.
Benchmarks
Brightwave is developing benchmarks to measure how reliably AI systems reason across messy business documents. These tests cover real research patterns: comparing multiple sources, spotting inconsistencies, tracing evidence, and reaching the right conclusion from complex materials.
This work helps us improve accuracy in workflows like diligence, market research, portfolio monitoring, and financial analysis.
