Brief provides a web‑based product navigation platform that captures decisions from tools like Linear, Jira, Notion, Slack, and GitHub, automatically building a searchable, always‑up‑to‑date Product Graph. Teams and AI coding agents can query this graph via the web app, CLI, or integrations such as Cursor, Claude Code, and Windsurf to receive contextual information about past decisions, requirements, and roadmap direction, keeping development aligned and informed.

Problem
Product teams and AI coding agents often lack access to up‑to‑date decision context from tools like Linear, Jira, Notion, Slack, and GitHub, causing developers to build without knowing why certain choices were made or what future goals exist.
Solution
Brief provides a web‑based command center that continuously captures product decisions from existing collaboration tools and constructs a searchable, always‑current Product Graph. Through its MCP server and CLI, Brief exposes this contextual knowledge to engineers and AI models directly within their IDEs, allowing queries that retrieve relevant decisions, rationale, and strategic direction. By integrating with AI agents such as Cursor, Claude Code, and Windsurf, Brief ensures that generated code aligns with past choices and upcoming plans. The platform’s searchable interface lets teams explore decision history, while the automated capture process keeps the graph synchronized without manual effort. This alignment reduces blind development, improves compliance with product strategy, and accelerates delivery at AI speed.
Target Audience
Primary users are software engineering teams and AI‑augmented development groups that need consistent product context, as well as product managers who want their decisions reliably reflected in code output.
Features
- Automatic extraction of decisions from tools (Linear, Jira, Notion, Slack, GitHub, etc.) as they occur
- Central Product Graph that links decisions, rationale, and roadmap in a searchable, always‑current database
- MCP server and CLI that deliver contextual answers to IDE queries for both human engineers and AI coding agents
- Integration with AI agents (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf) to provide real‑time product context during code generation
- Web app dashboard for visualizing the decision graph, searching history, and tracking future direction
- Support for extensive integrations (e.g., Confluence, Asana, Miro, GitLab, Microsoft Teams, and many more) to capture decisions across the entire workflow
