A personalized daily personal finance newsletter, written just for you

Generic personal finance content has a targeting problem. Advice for a 25-year-old paying off student loans is noise to someone optimizing retirement withdrawals, and US-centric tax tips are useless if you live in Europe. Yet almost every money newsletter is written for an imaginary average reader - so you skim, discard most of it, and occasionally miss the piece that actually applied to you.

Briefed starts from your situation instead. You describe it in a sentence or two - your stage of life, what you are trying to figure out, which markets and instruments you care about - and Claude writes each issue for you from public web sources. Index investing and interest-rate context for one reader; freelancer tax planning and emergency-fund strategy for another. Two subscribers never receive the same issue.

It arrives on your schedule - daily, every two days, or weekly, which suits most personal finance readers - and it improves as you use it. Reply to any issue with 'more on retirement accounts, less market commentary' and the next one adjusts. Briefed is 100% free, with no ads, no paid tier, and no credit card. To be clear about the limits: it is an informational brief, not individualized financial advice.
