A personalized daily tech news newsletter, written just for you
The problem with tech news is not finding it - it is escaping it. Every aggregator, feed, and mass newsletter serves the same firehose: gadget reviews you will never buy, funding rounds in sectors you do not follow, and hot takes recycled across ten outlets. The stories that actually matter to you get buried under everything that does not.
Briefed flips the model. Rather than editing one newsletter for a million readers, it writes an individual issue for each subscriber. You tell it what corner of tech you live in - developer tooling and open source, consumer hardware, big-platform strategy, the chip industry - and each issue is researched and written around that description by Claude, using public web sources. No two subscribers ever get the same email.
Delivery is on your schedule: daily, every two days, or weekly. Refining it requires no settings page - reply to any issue with what you liked, what you skipped, or what was missing, and future issues take the hint. Briefed is 100% free with no ads, signup takes about 30 seconds, and a double opt-in plus one-click unsubscribe keep you in control.

Questions about Tech News
Is this just another curated links roundup?
No. Each issue is written individually for you based on your interest description, not a shared digest with your name at the top.
Can I exclude subtopics I am tired of?
Yes. Say so in your signup description or reply to any issue - for example, 'less crypto, more open source' - and future issues adjust.
How often will I get it?
You choose at signup: daily, every 2 days, or weekly. You can change your mind later by replying to an issue.
What does it cost?
Nothing. Briefed is completely free - no paid tier, no ads, no credit card required.
