About Brief — research anyone before you meet them
Know who you're meeting — before the call.
Brief turns a name into a synthesized pre-meeting briefing in seconds: who someone is, what their company and market look like now, how they tend to
work, plus three hooks, three questions, and what to avoid.
How you use it — nothing happens until you ask:
• A quiet chip where you already work. On LinkedIn and X profiles, beside an external sender in Gmail, and beside an external guest in Google
Calendar — a small chip opens a brief without leaving the page. Gmail and Calendar are optional: you turn each one on yourself, in one click.
• Highlight any name, anywhere. Select a name on any page — an article, a doc, a post — right-click, and choose "Research with Brief."
• Right-click a profile link. Point at someone's profile link and research them in one click.
Brief researches the open web — it does NOT scrape the page you're on. Detection happens on your device and is free; only when you click does the
person's name (and, for a work email, their company domain) get researched server-side across public sources. Brief never reads your messages, your
calendar contents, or email addresses, and it never reveals emails or phone numbers.
Made for sellers, founders, recruiters, and anyone customer-facing doing pre-meeting research.
How to start
1. Pin Brief and sign in once with Google.
2. Open a profile, an email, or an event — or highlight a name and right-click.
3. Brief researches the open web and renders a short briefing.
Briefs are AI-generated from public sources and may be inaccurate or out of date. They are not for decisions about hiring, credit, tenancy,
insurance, or background checks. Anyone can request correction or removal at briefthecall.com/takedown.
