    Using Brief

    Tuning your daily brief

    Make the daily brief shorter, quieter, and better timed. The delivery controls, the type filters, and what dismissing an item actually does.

    Agents

    A standing question Brief answers on a schedule, around your meetings, or when a message arrives. How to set one up, and what agents cannot do yet.

    From briefing to delegated work

    Turn this morning's brief into a focus list for someone on your team, and get it to them as a Slack DM or in whichever channel they actually read. A five-step chat sequence.

    A CEO's week in Brief

    What a CEO hands to Brief across a working week, from the morning brief to the board meeting, with what you delegated at the center.

    A chief of staff's week in Brief

    What a chief of staff hands to Brief across a week: the Monday agenda, the tracker checked against what people said, and the Friday update.

    An operations leader's week in Brief

    What a COO hands to Brief across a week: a morning read on every project, supplier changes as they land, and decisions checked against what happened.

    A sales leader's week in Brief

    What a sales leader hands to Brief across a week: deal promises read against the CRM, research before a call, and the Friday report in one prompt.

    Commitments

    What you owe other people and what they owe you, read out of your mail and meetings. How the page splits the two, what Done and Dismiss actually do, and why a commitment is not a task.

    Decisions and questions

    Brief keeps a record of the decisions in your work and the questions still waiting on an answer. What lands on each page, the three ways a question gets closed, and why one can leave the list without anyone closing it.

    What Brief can do on your behalf

    Brief drafts on its own, and by default sends nothing you have not approved, whether that is an email, a Slack message or a Teams reply. The three trust levels, the full action list with its default, and how to change one.

    Daily, meeting, and person briefings

    The three briefing types Brief produces, when each one arrives, and where you can read it.

    Skills and example prompts

    The difference between a skill and an agent, the named skills you can invoke, and prompts that show what to ask.

    How to videos

    Brief application overview

    A minute video tour through the app: the Today page, the person card that pulls interaction history, open commitments, and upcoming meetings into one view, and the Meetings page with prep already in place. The fastest way to see where everything sits.

    Introduction to Brief Chat

    A short video tour introducing Brief chat. Before every meeting there is context to reconstruct. Ask Brief handles it in chat: ask who you are meeting with, get open threads, commitments, and relationship history back, then follow the answer straight through to that person's detail page.

    Syncing tasks

    Action items get buried in email and chat. Brief reads your communications, recognizes the commitments, and suggests tasks. Accept one and it syncs to Slack Lists, Todoist, Google Tasks, or Microsoft To Do.

    More Brief Chat examples

    See the possibilities of Brief Chat. This longer look shows it prepping a high-stakes meeting: surfacing a buried commitment, connecting threads, and drafting a reply in your voice. Sending waits for your approval, unless you have set that action to run on its own.

    Building Brief agents

    Watch how to build a Brief agent. This video has Brief build your weekly status report from what closed and what slipped, then run it as an agent every Friday on its own, rescheduled just by asking.

    Defining rules in memory

    In this video we review the Brief memory mechanism for setting rules: how to teach Brief a few things, watch a rule reshape a real meeting prep, then hand memory to an agent that preps you every morning on its own.

    Integrate with Brief MCP server

    In this video, we add Brief to Claude as a custom MCP connector, then ask in Claude what moved overnight and what to work on next, then close a commitment out from inside the assistant without opening Brief.

    Use Composio MCP to connect to Google Drive

    Brief reads your email and your calendar. It does not read the spreadsheet that actually runs the process. In this video we build the bridge that gets it there, and Brief opens a document it has never seen.

    Listen to Brief, and let Brief talk back

    Every interface shift started with somebody deciding the screen was optional. Voice is the one that finally reaches the hours executives actually have. In this video, Clint stops typing.

    Get your daily brief in Slack

    If you live in Slack, your brief should find you there. In this one-minute video, Clint sets up the new Brief app in Slack, gets his daily brief as a direct message, and asks about it in the thread.
