# Brief Brief captures product decisions from the tools teams already use and brings them into a Product Graph for people and AI coding agents. - Findings24: - Website: - Pricing: Freemium - Categories: AI Knowledge Graph ## What is Brief? Brief is a product context platform for teams building with AI. It connects to the tools where decisions already happen, captures those decisions, and organizes them into a Product Graph that engineers, product leaders, and AI agents can query when they need context. The product is split across a web app, an MCP server, and a CLI. The web app is used to search and review product decisions, while the agent-facing side brings that context into coding environments such as Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, and other MCP-compatible assistants. ## What can Brief do? ### Automatic decision capture Brief watches tools such as Slack, Linear, Notion, and GitHub, then extracts decisions as they happen so context stays current without manual copying. ### Product Graph Brief builds a searchable Product Graph from decisions, context, docs, tickets, and related history so teams can trace why choices were made. ### Web app workspace The web app serves as a command center for viewing the Product Graph, searching decisions, and tracking where work is headed. ### Agent navigation in the IDE The MCP server and CLI bring product context into IDEs and AI coding tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, and Windsurf. ### Product-aware guardrails Brief can surface constraints and prior decisions before changes land, helping flag work that conflicts with documented product truth. ### Core platform on every plan On the pricing page, Brief states that all plans include the Product Graph Engine and MCP integration. ## Use Cases ### Centralize product context Capture product decisions from Slack threads, Linear tickets, Notion docs, and GitHub activity so the reasoning stays available later. ### Guide AI coding agents Bring the right constraints and decisions into Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, or another MCP-compatible assistant before code is written. ### Move from idea to tickets Turn rough inputs such as a whiteboard photo, voice note, Slack message, or customer email into a structured spec and then tickets. ### Retrieve decision history Answer product questions with evidence from the Product Graph instead of relying on memory or hunting across several tools. ### Cross-timezone alignment Use Brief to keep remote and distributed teams aligned when product calls are made in one time zone and implemented in another. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Is Brief another project management tool? Brief is positioned as a navigator for product context, not a project management tool. It captures product decisions from existing tools and makes them available to the team and AI agents so they can build with context. ### How is Brief different from documentation? Brief goes beyond static documentation by surfacing the reasoning, tradeoffs, and customer context behind decisions. That helps teams understand why something was built a certain way, not just what exists. ### Do I need to change my workflow to use Brief? No. Brief is designed to work with existing workflows and watches connected tools to extract decisions automatically. ### What AI assistants does Brief work with? Brief works with Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, any MCP-compatible assistant, and its CLI. ### How long does setup take? The site says setup takes about 5 minutes: connect Brief to your tools and add one line to your config. ## Quick Facts - **Category**: Product context infrastructure - **Primary users**: Product teams, engineering teams, and AI agents - **Platform**: Web app, MCP server, CLI - **Integrations mentioned**: Slack, Linear, Notion, GitHub, Fathom, Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf - **Pricing shape**: Free tier, paid per-seat plans, and custom enterprise pricing - **Source domain**: briefhq.ai
