Briefy

What Briefy is

A summarising tool for long content. You feed it an article, website, video, email thread or podcast and it returns a structured summary, available as an overview, table, mind map or timeline.

Summaries are saved to a knowledge base so you can revisit them and keep asking questions.

What you can do with it

• Summarise websites, videos, podcasts and email threads
• Switch between overview, table, mind map and timeline views
• Save briefs to a knowledge base for later
• Ask follow-up questions about saved material
• Use inline translation and work across devices

Who it is for

• Students and researchers working through long material
• Information workers who read more than they can keep
• Anyone who wants the structure before the detail

What to watch out for

• Summaries drop tone, qualifiers and supporting evidence, so go back to the source for papers, contracts, investment material and professional reports
• Use it to understand structure first, not to replace reading
• Check what the knowledge base stores and for how long
• Translation quality varies by subject matter
