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.
