Common Questions

Everything you need to know about Briefed

Technical Questions

How accurate is the AI analysis? +
Our AI achieves 95%+ accuracy in identifying key decisions, action items, and participants. The system is trained on millions of business communications and continuously improves through machine learning. For edge cases, you can always edit the generated briefs to ensure perfect accuracy.
What happens if the AI misses something important? +
Every generated brief is fully editable. You can add, modify, or remove any content before sharing with your team. Our AI learns from these edits to improve future analyses. We also provide a "Review Original Thread" feature to cross-reference the source material.
Does Briefed support different languages? +
Yes! Briefed supports over 25 languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, and more. The AI automatically detects the language and generates briefs in the same language as the source email thread.

Briefed only accesses the specific email threads you explicitly select for analysis. We never have access to your entire inbox, and we use OAuth 2.0 for secure, limited permissions. Your email password is never shared with us.

You can revoke access anytime from your email provider's security settings (Google Account, Microsoft Account, etc.). Simply remove "Briefed" from your authorized applications. This immediately terminates all access.
