Questions people ask before subscribing.

Is this another podcast or newsletter?
No. Briefly prepares one concise briefing around your role and interests. Listen hands-free, then ask a follow-up the moment you want more context.
Where does the news come from?
Briefly works from published reporting and primary sources. Every story keeps its citations, so you can inspect the source instead of taking a summary on faith.
Can I choose what I hear?
Yes. During setup, you choose your role, preferred depth, and delivery time. Your story mix adapts to that profile.
How long is a briefing?
A few focused minutes: four to six stories chosen for your role, explained without the filler. Interrupt with a question whenever you want to go deeper on one of them.
Can I read instead of listen?
Yes. Every briefing keeps a full transcript, and every story keeps its links to the original reporting, so the text is always one tap away.
What platforms does Briefly run on?
The web app is available today and works on your phone. An iOS app is in development — join the waitlist below and we'll email you when the TestFlight opens.
Is the voice AI-generated?
Yes. Briefings use a licensed AI voice. The writing is created from published sources, checked for accuracy, and presented with citations.
What happens after the 3-day trial?
Your subscription continues at $7.99/week — about $1.14 a day, billed weekly — unless you cancel before the trial ends. We email you before the first charge, and you can cancel anytime from your account settings.
How do I cancel?
Settings → Billing → Billing Portal, which opens your provider's secure page. Two clicks, no email required, no retention call. Cancelling keeps your access until the end of the period you already paid for.
What if it isn't for me?
Cancel during the 3-day trial and you're never charged. If you're billed and something went wrong, email hello@brieflylab.ai — refund requests are handled by a person, not a form.
