Briefy

What is Briefy?

Briefy is an AI knowledge assistant designed to help users digest, summarize, and organize content from any digital source—including webpages, academic articles, YouTube videos, PDFs, emails, and podcasts—at the click of a button. Its mission is to make consuming and retaining information radically easier and faster by automatically distilling key insights and creating structured summaries. Briefy supports multiple summary views—like overview, table, mind map, and timeline—while also providing a personal knowledge base for saving and reviewing previous summaries. Users can interactively chat with any summarized content for deeper insight, reference the original source, and export summaries in various formats. Briefy is thus ideal for students, professionals, and anyone who needs to learn or review large volumes of information efficiently, providing a seamless and comprehensive reading and study experience across devices and languages.
