What we're shipping.

Plain-English rundowns of the best AI sales tools, prospecting tools, and sales intelligence software, plus how to research someone before a meeting, each grouped by what the tools are actually for. See it →

Researching someone on your phone no longer cuts out if the screen would lock partway through — the brief keeps going and arrives.

New side-by-side comparisons of Brief and the tools people weigh it against — ZoomInfo, Apollo, Clay, RocketReach and more — with an honest take on which to pick for pre-call research. See it →

Browse 140+ notable angel, seed, and pre-seed investors by stage, sector, and country — each with a live brief. See it →

87 seed and pre-seed firms join the directory — Felicis, Pear, Hustle Fund, Seedcamp and more — with new stage pages alongside country and sector. See it →

Tell Brief what you sell and the openers rewrite for your pitch on any brief — including ones already in the library — with a "Tailored to what you sell" badge so you know it's yours.

When a person's company shares its name with another, the brief covers the right one — or says plainly that public data is thin, instead of blending the two.

A background refresh now keeps whichever version is better-grounded, so a page never trades sourced facts for unsourced ones.

Searching a common or sparse name with no company attached? Brief now works out where the person works on its own, so those searches come back as full briefs instead of "not enough information."

When the public web genuinely has too little on a person, Brief now says so plainly instead of padding the gap with generic advice.

The upcoming Chrome extension streams the brief in live as it's researched — no more staring at a spinner — and long research runs no longer drop the connection. See it →

A small, unobtrusive chip beside the person's name and a cleaner reading panel. Detection now works across more LinkedIn profile layouts and reads the person's company from more headline styles.

Research is offered only on real person profiles and articles about people — never on feeds, company pages, or search results.

Briefs open alongside what you're reading, with a free preview before sign-in. Nothing is generated until you ask.

Company sections no longer include figures that can't be traced to a source. If it isn't sourced, it doesn't appear.

Company and market sections now draw on current reporting, not last year's news.

The extension signs in with your existing Brief account, so your saved briefs and seller lens follow you.

How sales, recruiting, customer success, financial advisors, founders, and job seekers use Brief — each with its own playbook and FAQ. See it →

Briefs now refresh automatically in the background, so the pages you revisit reflect recent news without you re-searching.

Public brief pages show when the research was actually last refreshed, not when the page was rendered.

Anyone featured in a brief can request removal or correction without creating an account, and every brief is clearly labeled as AI-generated. See it →
