The Problem

As a busy engineer, staying current with the rapidly evolving GenAI landscape feels impossible. New models, tools, and breakthroughs emerge daily across dozens of sources—Hacker News, research papers, tech blogs, and social media. You want to stay informed, but who has time to read everything?

The signal-to-noise ratio is low. Important developments get buried under hype. You need the key insights without spending hours scanning feeds.

The Solution

Briefly is your AI-powered tech news digest that does the heavy lifting for you. We aggregate articles from trusted sources, use AI to summarize and group them by theme, and deliver a clean, focused digest you can read in minutes.

No fluff. No clickbait. Just the signal you need to stay current.

How It Works

  • Weekly Digests — Curated collections of the most relevant GenAI articles
  • AI Summaries — Each article condensed to its core insights using Gemini
  • Theme Grouping — Articles organized by topic (AI Applications, Development Tools, Research)
  • Key Moments — Highlights of the week's most important developments
  • Keyboard Navigation — Vim-inspired shortcuts for efficient browsing (press ? for help)

Open Source

Briefly is open source and built with Go, PostgreSQL, and Gemini AI. We believe in transparency and community-driven development.
