I've found the idea of Bright to be fascinating, and I'm curious if anyone knows anything else about her.
Are there any other tidbits?
Does she have any centers of worship? Nex or Numeria?
Have any miracles been associated with her?
Does she have any control over clockwork / constructs?
How does she interact with the Inevitables?
Do her followers receive any special spells?
Is there a Great Workshop In The Sky?
My gnome in rise of the runelords was a worshiper. I had had some idea to make a clock-work body for myself But got distracted by other things and never got around to it.
But All i read about her was in Gnomes of golarion, Id like to see more really.

Srsly, Brigh needs so much more love.
This isn't strictly canon, but if worship of Brigh isn't confined to Golarion, she's probably big on many planets with high technology.
Sticking to Golarion's solar system:
She would definitely be a big hit on Verces, what with the Augmentad. We still don't know how far they've come along or even how they feel about artificial life though. Depending on that, they may view Brigh through a different lens than Golarion worshippers or it could be very much the same. For them, maybe she's not just the goddess of invention and artificial life, but also of transhumanism...er, transvercitism... Maybe amongst her vercite worshippers, augmentation doesn't take place on just a physical or mental level, but also on the spiritual one.
Aballon...maybe? We don't know much about how the Aballonian machines think or even if they feel, and if they have anything close to the concept of worship it may be focused on their creators. But Brigh might still have a footprint there.
Maybe looking at Brigh's possible origins could shed light on who and what might worship her. If she's the first artificial being given true life and she rose to divinity...she's the first artificial soul. Maybe she's the source for artificial souls, the true life that mad scientists of varying creeds hope to tap into or harness to create something, or someone, new. Or maybe she inserts those souls into the creation of mortals at her own whim, whether or not that's what they were shooting for. She's the Blue Fairy. She's the lightning bolt that made Johnny-5 a real boy.
Whatever the case, I hope Daft Punk are two of her heralds.

Does she have any centers of worship? Nex or Numeria?
Have any miracles been associated with her?
I think worship of Brigh has been noted as being relatively big in Nex. I think.
If Brigh isn't a thing in Numeria, she really needs to be.
I want to say golems spontaneously becoming sentient have been attributed to her. That stands out as the most common sort of miracle she'd likely have under her belt at least.
How does she interact with the Inevitables?
Is there a Great Workshop In The Sky?
I don't think anything has been said for certain, but thinking back, I think there was a mention of her domain being in Axis in The Great Beyond... I really need to go back and check that again.
That would certainly put her close to the inevitables in more than just aesthetics, despite the alignment and possibly philosophical difference. Could be wrong on remembering that book correctly though. There is precedence for gods of a certain alignment having their realms primarily exist on planes not matching their alignment though, with Calistria and Gorum on Elysiuim.
Oh unfrabjuous day! That's disappointing to hear. Shot down on almost every account.
I'm not entirely sure she'd be a hit Verces, due to the same reason she isn't too big in the Inner Sea.
Although I am a bit elated that she's mentioned in GoG and I have that book. Might do some more research and bump this later.

I am much afraid (as a serious follower of Brigh, or as serious as a gnome can be) that Paizo is tippy-toeing around the fact that Brigh is more or less a straight lift of Cyriss, the Maiden of Gears, from the Iron Kingdoms/Warmachine universe.
On the up side, there is a fair bit of stuff about Cyriss out there, that could be co-opted fairly easily.
Cyriss right, I added that Brigh is another name for Rava of Midgard
I'll need to look up Cyriss until Brigh gets a proper write-up, then.
IIRC, James Jacobs has mentioned that Brigh will be getting a writeup- at least- during the Iron Gods AP.
