@fmerian hi, I was a fan of Mailbrew from the start. Is Brief the next step for Mailbrew or will they continue to be separate products? Thank you.

Glad you’re liking it @scott_shapiro!
Shray Bansal
Super cool! Are all the sources pre-selected based on the topics that you want to hear about, or can you customize where you want to get them from?
Jeroen Seghers
@shraybans right now they are pre selected. We have specific sources per topic and global sources. What you requested is the #1 requested feature on our feature board at the moment, so we will tackle that next! Feature board: https://feedback.brief.news

Congrats Brief team! Really love the summary when clicking into articles / topics. Does this continue to personalize to your interests as you read more news on specific topics?
Joe Mifsud
@steve_ervin thank you and it does! We pay attention to the content you spend time with so we learn why you’re interested in and tailor your brief to you. We’re also working on more advanced ways to personalize and control what you see in your Brief :).
Øyvind Henriksen
Have used this for a few weeks to keep track of what's happening in the world of AI and satisfy my interest in sustainability news. Incredibly simple, and great curated content for me. So glad to see it on PH today! 🚀
Joe Mifsud
Thanks @oyvind_henriksen - so glad you're liking it! Would love to hear your feedback too. Any features you'd like to see added or topics you'd like to follow?
Øyvind Henriksen
@jmif I'd like much more granular topics please, essentially sub-divisions of the current ones. I'd also like to get a weekly digest instead of a daily one. Maybe I could even train it myself based on a bunch of links and make my own topic, and share it with others using my own custom-curated weekly newsletter?
Joe Mifsud
Really appreciate the feedback @oyvind_henriksen 🙌 We're working on a weekly digest and more powerful ways to personalize and control your brief (custom sources, more granular topics, interactive training of interests and more), stay tuned!
Gabe O'Leary
Hell yeah, congrats on the launch! Been using Brief for a while now and it's awesome having a summary of the stories I should pay attention to delivered to my inbox every day with the ability to dig deeper if I want. Also impressed by the design and speed at which new topics/features get added!
Joe Mifsud
@golear thanks so much for your support! Glad you’re onboard!
Joe Sinkwitz
Jeroen continues to make beautiful products. Brief is a really handy tool for those on the go that like longform content but don't have the time to digest it all. I find it most useful as a jumping off point to summarize, then I can dig into something later to gain depth.
Jeroen Seghers
@cygnusseo Thanks Joe! Happy to hear that 🙌
Damien Roué
Great product. By any chance, do you plan to have a feature to access articles via RSS Feeds ?
Joe Mifsud
@damienroue yes! We’re working on custom sources so you have even more control over your brief. We’ll definitely be adding RSS support as a part of that.

I’m using it since a few weeks and I’m loving it so far. Great job 👏 Would love to have some more local news available too 🍕🤌🇮🇹.
Jeroen Seghers
@alain_caltieri1 Thanks Alain! More local news is coming soon! I'm guessing it's time for Italian news ;)
Ru Barksfield
Been using for a while and love it! The team have done a great job developing out the tech to streamline information and gives me the right amount of depth without being too long!
Jeroen Seghers
@ru_barksfield Thanks Rupert, and we've only just gotten started 🙌

Super Dope stuff! I love the bullet points and summarization features! Makes news less overwhelming and all more enjoyable!
Joe Mifsud
@elias_ali awesome! Keep the feedback coming :). We’re adding topics specifically for our PH supporters this week, are there any subjects you’d like to follow in Brief?
Elias ali
@jmif E-commerce/Product/CPG would be super dope! Another suggestion I have but I don't know how you would do it, a means to control fake news or inaccurate news. A worry I have when dealing with aggregated news is which of those sources might not be accurate/misleading or which of those outlets might have gotten something wrong. I find what twitter/X did was pretty cool in providing context, which is community led. Another way to overcome this might be doing a some sort of accuracy algorithm since I noticed you have a source count on your summaries. Possibly higher confidence for more trusted sources or if a news has a higher source count then higher confidence score. News lately has been about who's there first rather than who right.
Dick Van Gelder
It all started with me being a user. As a news consumer, I check this site every day. Impressive software!
Joe Mifsud
Glad to hear @dick_van_gelder1! Any topics or subjects you’d like to see added to Brief? We’re adding topics for our PH supporters this week :)
Andy Beard
I am interested in the future personalization. I used to use 3 custom "Megites", which was like a personal Techmeme. When that was discontinued, Nuzzle was at least useful, but too populist Ideally I am looking to find unique content before it becomes mainstream without monitoring 1000 niche RSS feeds
Joe Mifsud
@andybeard I’ve gone on a similar journey myself, there’s just too much content to keep keep up with and it’s currently scattered across too many websites and social networks. RSS readers do help, but it’s still to much work to sift through. We’re working on advanced personalization and customization of your Brief so you can control exactly what content you see, what sources you want what to see content from and provide active feedback to train the personalization algorithm. I’d love to hear more about your process and what you’d like to see in a version of Brief that is perfect for you. Shoot me a DM on Twitter and we can connect!
ToyHeart
Maybe this is the first newsletter product made by AI! and I like it.
Joe Mifsud
Great to hear @bleedingsaber and we think so too, at least with this breadth of topics! Any topics you'd like to follow? We're adding more each week :).

I used to be a Mailbrew user. Deactivated long ago. Just got an email at that address asking to support this product's launch - feels like improper use of Mailbrew's database.
