Configuring Briefings
Create and customize multiple briefings for different needs
Master Your Briefing Configuration
Your briefing settings are the control center for how AI processes and delivers your personalized content. From connecting data sources to customizing AI instructions, each setting helps create briefings that match your specific needs and workflow.
Briefings vs Issues
Think of briefings as newspaper templates. Each briefing configuration defines the topics, sources, and schedule, while issues are the actual content delivered based on those settings.
You might configure one briefing for industry news, another for team updates, and a third for competitor intelligence. Each briefing then generates regular issues with fresh, AI-curated content tailored to your specific needs and schedule.
When to Create Multiple Briefings
Organize by project, language, or urgency
Work vs Personal
Separate professional and personal content
✓ Better work-life balance
Different Projects
One briefing per major project
✓ Focused, relevant summaries
Language Separation
Different briefings for different languages
✓ Cleaner organization
Time Sensitivity
Urgent vs non-urgent content
✓ Prioritize what matters
Pro Tip
Start with one main briefing and add more as your needs grow. Most users find 2-3 briefings optimal.
