About this app

Stop struggling with information overload and reclaimed your time. Meet Briefly—your personal AI-powered assistant designed to simplify complex text instantly and help you focus on what truly matters.
In a world where we are bombarded with endless articles, long-form reports, and mountain-high email chains, Briefly is the antidote. Powered by the cutting-edge Gemini™ 2.5-flash AI model, Briefly transforms dense information into clear, punchy, and actionable summaries in seconds.
WHY CHOOSE BRIEFLY?
Briefly was built with a single goal: to make reading more efficient without losing the nuance of the content. We don't just "shorten" text; we extract the essence.
• INSTANT AI SUMMARIZATION: Paste any text—from a 5,000-word industry report to a complex legal brief—and get a concise summary immediately. Briefly identifies key arguments, critical data points, and the overall sentiment so you don't have to scan through wall-to-wall text.
• INTERACTIVE FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS: Most summarizers are a one-way street. Briefly is a conversation. Use the "Follow Up" feature to dive deeper into the result. Ask "What were the specific dates mentioned?" or "Can you explain the third point in more detail?" The AI remembers the context of the summary to give you precise, intelligent answers.
• ACCESSIBILITY-DRIVEN READ ALOUD (TTS): On the move? Use the integrated high-quality Text-to-Speech engine to listen to your summaries. Unlike standard TTS, Briefly features real-time word highlighting, allowing you to follow along visually or listen hands-free while driving, walking, or multitasking.
• HIGH-CONTRAST DARK THEME: Designed for long-term reading and accessibility, Briefly features a premium high-contrast UI. This reduces eye strain in low-light environments and ensures that every word is legible for users with visual sensitivities.
• PRIVACY BY DESIGN: Your data belongs to you. Briefly does not store your pasted text or AI results on any private servers. All content is processed via Google’s secure Gemini™ API and exists only in your app’s temporary memory. When you hit the "Clear" button, it’s gone forever.
TAILORED FOR YOUR WORKFLOW
Who is Briefly for? • STUDENTS: Summarize academic papers, research journals, and long textbook chapters to study more effectively for exams. • PROFESSIONALS: Get the gist of long internal memos, meeting transcripts, and industry news so you can stay informed without the time sink. • RESEARCHERS: Quickly vet articles to see if they are relevant to your work before committing to a full read. • LEGAL & MEDICAL: Extract the core facts from dense documentation to prepare for consultations or meetings.
HOW IT WORKS:
Using Briefly is as simple as 1-2-3:

TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS:
• Use the Follow-Up feature to ask for "Bullet points" if you prefer a list format. • Ask Briefly to "Explain this to me like I'm a beginner" for highly technical topics. • Use the "Clear" button to keep your workspace tidy for your next research task.
