What is Brief?

Brief is a news aggregator that uses AI to summarise articles from multiple sources, helping you stay informed without spending hours reading. Instead of visiting dozens of websites or scrolling through feeds, you get concise summaries in text, audio, or video format. The platform learns your interests and builds a personalised news feed around topics that matter to you. It's designed for professionals who need to keep up with news but don't have the time to read full articles, researchers tracking specific sectors or themes, and news organisations looking to summarise content quickly.
