From scattered tabs to one calm brief.

No template gallery, no drag-and-drop builder. You tell Briefly what a useful morning looks like — “email triage, my Stripe MRR vs the £10k goal, and what's on Notion today” — and it writes the workflow for you.

If something is ambiguous, Briefly asks one clarifying question, then shows you the plan: which sources it needs, what sections your brief will have, and when it will arrive.

Briefly connects to Gmail, Google Calendar, Notion, Stripe, and Shopify through each provider's official OAuth flow. It's a one-time step, and every scope we request is read-only: Briefly can never send an email, edit a calendar event, change a Notion page, or touch your money.

You only connect what your brief actually needs, and you can disconnect any source at any time from Settings → Connections — revoking access immediately.

We deliberately read as little as possible — just enough to write a useful summary:

• Gmail — subject lines and short previews only (capped at 200 characters). Never full bodies, never attachments.
• Google Calendar — event titles and times for today and tomorrow.
• Notion — page titles, so you know what moved overnight.
• Stripe & Shopify — revenue summaries: MRR, new subscriptions, order counts. Never card numbers or customer details.

Each morning, Briefly hands that thin slice of data to an AI composer along with your goals and preferences. Pro briefs are written by Anthropic's Claude; Starter briefs use OpenAI's GPT-4o-mini. The result is a single 5-minute read that prioritises what needs action, tracks your goals against pace, and skips what you've told it to skip.

Neither provider trains on data sent through their APIs, and AI processing only happens with your explicit consent — which you can withdraw at any time from Settings → Privacy.

You pick the time — 7am is the default — and Briefly delivers in your timezone, with daylight saving handled for you. The brief lands wherever you actually look in the morning: push notification (iOS, Android, web), email, or Telegram via @BrieflyBot. WhatsApp is coming in v1.1.

This is the part that compounds. Reply to any brief — “skip the FYI emails”, “more detail on James from Acme” — and Briefly updates its memory of you. Tomorrow's brief reflects it, and so does every brief after that.

Goals work the same way: tell Briefly you're aiming for £10k MRR by Christmas and it tracks your progress daily, telling you whether you're on pace. Preferences, goals, and context all live in a memory you can review and edit at any time.
