Briefy
ReivindicarBriefy is an AI knowledge assistant that summarizes webpages, videos and PDFs into structured views and saves them to a Knowledge Base for faster review.
Overview
Briefy is an AI knowledge assistant that turns long-form content into structured summaries and stores them in a Knowledge Base for later review. It is positioned for readers who want to digest webpages, videos, PDFs, and other content without reading everything cover to cover.
The product emphasizes multiple output views, source references, and follow-up questions. Briefy can summarize webpages in overview, mindmap, table, and timeline views; summarize YouTube videos chapter by chapter; and create multi-modal PDF summaries that include non-text content such as graphs and tables.
Features
YouTube video summaries
Summarize YouTube videos chapter by chapter and use timestamps to move through key moments without watching the full video. The summaries can be generated in your preferred language.
PDF summarization
Create multi-modal PDF summaries that cover text, graphs, tables, formulas, and other non-text elements. Each summary line can point back to the referenced part of the document.
Knowledge Base workflow
Save briefs to a Knowledge Base for later review, search, asking questions, and sharing. The pricing page also lists universal search across the Knowledge Base and inline translation.
Content Q&A
Ask follow-up questions about the content to get context-aware answers. Briefy presents this as chatting with the source rather than only reading a static summary.
Extension-based access
Use Briefy through browser and email extensions across supported devices. The pricing page lists Chrome, Safari, and Gmail extensions with different platform coverage.

People who prefer not to read full videos or lengthy pages can use the browser extensions to get summaries in place instead of switching apps.
