πŸ’‘ Bright idea
@cox Hi Cox and Briefy Team, Just saw your Product Hunt relaunch and Briefy 2.0's functionalities sound incredibly valuable for anyone overwhelmed by information overload! The ability to generate summaries in various formats (overview, table, mindmap) and across different content types (text, audio, video) is impressive. A couple of questions to understand your approach better: - Can you elaborate on the accuracy of Briefy's summaries, particularly for complex or technical content? Does Briefy offer any customization options to tailor the summarization process to user preferences (e.g., level of detail, terminology)? - Beyond basic search, are there functionalities for advanced knowledge base management, such as tagging summaries or creating custom categories for better organization? As a full stack developer with experience in AI, I believe I could potentially contribute to Briefy's development in areas like: - Exploring techniques to further enhance the accuracy and comprehensiveness of summaries, especially for technical content. - Developing features for advanced information organization within the knowledge base, such as tagging, categorization, and integration with other information management tools. I'd love to learn more about Briefy's roadmap and how I can contribute to making it the go-to platform for AI-powered information management. Congratulations on the launch and the generous Product Hunt discount! Best regards, Max

Cox, Briefy 2.0 sounds like a game-changer! The ability to manage summaries in a knowledge base and ask context-aware questions is exactly what we need in this info-overloaded world. The various views like mindmap and timeline are fantastic for visual learners. How does Briefy handle more complex multimedia content like podcasts or videos? Looking forward to diving in and exploring all these new features!

Hi Cox, Briefy 2.0 sounds like a game-changer for tackling information overload! The feature to manage summaries in a knowledge base alongside the original content is brilliant for maintaining context. I'm particularly excited about the multi-view presentation options like mindmaps and timelines, which will definitely cater to different learning styles. Looking forward to exploring it further and seeing how it enhances productivity. Congrats on the launch and thanks for the special discount offer!

@max_savonin1 very good ideas. Summarization quality and coverage are the top priorities we're working on for this product. Although we have been working on it for the past 8 months, there are still improvements to be made such as better support for longer content, and better summarization accuracy. What's in our backlog so far is: customized level of detail, universal search across the knowledge base, stability of comprehensive coverage for super-long content, etc. Happy to talk more about how we can do this better. Thanks for sharing your feedback. :)

@nicoleastor it's already on mobile - check out our website :)
Stefans Keiss
Impressive launch! Is there a way to sync summarized content with other knowledge management tools like Notion or Evernote?
Anastasiia Stepko
@memphys_sk Do you use Evernote? Still?
Cox Zhang
@memphys_sk it’s in our backlog!

As a developer myself, I often read many documents. Briefy's summarizer feature is already very useful for long content. With this update, I now have the ability to save all my important document pages in one place. This is really helpful as my single source of truth. We've put a lot of effort into making this possible, and I hope you all like it!

It's amazing!! People can use it to research any field rapidly. I will try it next time when I need to do some deep and professional research. Congrats on the launch!

Hey Cox, Briefy 2.0 looks incredibly powerful for managing information overload. I'm curious about the built-in knowledge base. How customizable is it, and can it integrate with other knowledge management tools? Also, how does Briefy handle different languages and translations within the summaries? Congrats on the launch!
Cox Zhang
@kyrylosilin good questions. 1. Currently users can export summaries in Markdown format to use them in other tools. In the future, we will support more export formats and methods to integrate with other popular tools. 2. Briefy supports summarizing in various languages and outputting in another target language, utilizing the power of LLM. Plus, Briefy also supports in-line translation for users who want an immediate translation of the summaries.

πŸ”₯ Hi all the hunters who love Briefy! Really appreciate your support and every upvote and comment is valuable for us. 🎁 As an avid researcher, I spend hours diving into lengthy articles, newsletters and videos everyday and Briefy actually saves my life! Briefy's summarizer feature has been a game-changer for me when it comes to digesting complex content efficiently. Now, with this latest update, saving all my summaries in one organized hub is truly convenient. πŸ’ͺ Our team has worked tirelessly to refine these features, and I'm excited to see it in action. I believe this improvement will greatly benefit users like myself, and I can't wait for everyone to try it out. Leave your comment or the feature you want to have on Briefy! We'll try our best to make all demand possible.πŸ’—
Like how it just embeds into existing UIs, it must try. I've been using Glasp for this, but that plugs ChatGPT for summaries. Having it natively accessible without leaving the website sounds cool.
Chloe Miller
This distills complex information into a structured summary that will definitely help me save time! I'd like to know how Briefy ensures the accuracy and relevance of the summaries, especially when dealing with complex or technical content. Great Launch!
Daniel Zaitzow
Launching soon!
@cox congrats on the launch! like most LLM products I have the same question - how does this differentiate from a carefully prompted GPT? I've found 4o to be pretty powerful.
Maria Silva
This sounds like a game-changer for productivity! Can't wait to try it out. πŸš€
