Clear Briefing

Your clients' world in one short briefing, from the sources they already trust.

Sources in. One briefing out.

Here's what happens between a pile of overlapping newsletters and the briefing you actually read.

Four steps, all automatic

1. Read

On a schedule, Clear Briefing checks every source you've added and pulls in anything new.

2. Group

Articles about the same event land in the same story, however many outlets covered it and whatever they called it.

3. Brief

Each story gets an original headline and a short brief built from the facts across its sources: who, what, when, where. Every claim is cited.

4. Deliver

Read briefings on your dashboard or in PDF reports. Email digests link back to the dashboard, and alerts flag stories that match your rules.

Your briefings are written inside your own isolated instance. Your content is never sent to a third-party AI service.

Feeds: say what you care about in a sentence

A feed is a view over your sources, focused by a plain sentence like "solar manufacturing tariffs" or "Alberta cybersecurity advisories". Each briefing in a feed carries a line on why it matters to that focus.

Make feeds for a whole client team, or private ones just for you. Each shows up as a tab. Vote on relevance to tune only your own view, never your colleagues'.

When your votes make a difference, a short "your feed learned" note shows what changed in your view.

A clear place to stop

If you manage clients, start in My clients and choose a client. Read today's briefing or catch up on the week. You're caught up on today's briefing when you've read it and checked your unseen alerts. Open the full list for older stories.

Follow a story. When it develops, it comes back in Updates.

What a briefing looks like

Every story is a card you can scan, follow and vote on. Open it for the cited brief.

Example briefing
High priority

Domestic solar panel output rose 12% in the first month of import tariffs

Closely matches your Solar supply focus

Local assemblers raised production in August after a 10% tariff on imported modules took effect [Trade newsletter, Regional daily]. Two manufacturers said they plan to add capacity next year [Industry bulletin].

Why this matters for Solar supply: component buyers now have a tariff-driven benchmark for panel prices.

Synthesised from 6 sources
  • solar
  • tariffs
  • manufacturing
  1. Priority. Stories that best match your client's focus come first, including relevant ones only a few outlets have covered.
  2. Why this is here. Each story in your feed says why it made your list.
  3. Headline. Written fresh, never copied from a source.
  4. Two-sentence brief. The whole story, short.
  5. Why it matters. One line tying it to this feed's focus.
  6. Tags. Topics, for filtering.
  7. "Synthesised from N sources." How many articles went into the brief.

Open a card and you get

  • The full brief, with each fact cited to its source inline.
  • A link to every original article.
  • A timeline of when each source published.
  • A PDF export of that one briefing.

Sources you can add

  • RSS feeds. Paste the feed URL.
  • Websites without RSS. Paste the page. If the site's robots.txt disallows it, it can't be added.
  • Email newsletters. Each account gets its own inbox address. Subscribe your newsletters to it; only senders you approve get read.
  • Paywalled subscriptions. Advanced, limited availability. Use your own login for sources you already pay for. It's kept in a vault we can't open. Facts from those articles can inform a briefing; their wording never appears in it.

English-language sources for now.

Fresh sources, your call

Your admin, or an account manager for their own clients, can turn on source suggestions. Each suggestion says why it may fit, and you review it before it's added. Suggestions check candidate publishers' sites before anyone approves them.

Dismissed outlets stay dismissed unless you restore them. Suggestions never show article text.

Alerts and digests

Alerts flag the stories that can't wait. They sit at the top of a feed and can go by email to the people you choose.

Alert: Regulator published draft rules on imported solar modules. Matches rule "module tariffs".

Digests point you to unread stories in your daily or weekly briefing, with headlines and links back to your dashboard. If you manage clients, your digest is organised by client.

PDF reports can go out on a schedule. Pick stories to highlight in a report you own.

Optional web notifications tell you something is waiting without showing story details or client names. Choose which notifications you receive and set quiet hours.

The archive

Every briefing stays searchable by keyword. After twelve months the collected source text is pruned; the brief, its keywords and its links remain.
