This is a Brief.

AI-native knowledge sharing. Author, share, and consume through any AI client with just a link.

What is a Brief?

A Brief is knowledge written for AI to consume. Instead of creating documents for humans to read, you write Briefs that any AI client can fetch, understand, and use to answer questions on demand.

Think of it as the difference between handing someone a 40-page PDF and giving them a link they can paste into any AI chat to get exactly the answers they need.

How It Works

1. Create

Start a brief at sharebriefs.com/new. No templates, no formatting constraints. Just get your knowledge down in markdown. Focus on being clear and comprehensive rather than making it look good. Your AI audience doesn't care about fonts.

Your Brief gets a permanent URL like sharebriefs.com/yourname/abc123 that you can update anytime.

2. Share

Send the URL however you normally share links. Paste it in Slack, drop it in an email, add it to a README, include it in a project. No sign-up required to access it. Anyone with the link can use it.

3. Empower

The person receiving your Brief doesn't need to read it. They paste the link into their AI client and ask questions. The AI fetches the Brief, reads the knowledge, and gives them a focused answer for what they need.

A designer asks: "I'm placing the logo on a dark billboard, what are the rules?"
A developer asks: "What color tokens do I use for dark mode surfaces?"
An investor asks: "What's the technical moat?"

Same Brief. Three completely different answers. Each one tailored to what the person actually needs in the moment.

How Briefs Compare

Briefs are not documents. Documents are written for humans to read from top to bottom. They're full of formatting, transitions, and narrative structure that help a person follow along but add noise for an AI trying to extract specific information. Briefs are written for AI to pull the right answer to any question without wading through presentation. No login walls, no "request access," no downloading a PDF. And when you update a Brief, every future fetch gets the latest version. No re-exporting, no re-sharing, no "v2_final_FINAL.pdf."

Briefs are not skills. AI skills are instruction files that tell an AI how to perform a specific task. They're typically single-author, tied to one AI client, and focused on procedures ("how to generate a React component"). Briefs are focused on knowledge, not tasks. They're shareable across any AI platform, accessible to anyone with the link, and designed to be updated and maintained over time.

Briefs are not memory. AI memory is personal context an AI accumulates about you over time, things like your preferences, your projects, and details from past conversations. Memory is private, automatic, and scoped to one person on one platform. Briefs are the opposite: intentionally authored knowledge meant to be shared with others. You decide what goes in, who gets the link, and you can update it whenever the information changes.

Briefs are a new primitive. Memory is what your AI knows about you. Skills are what your AI knows how to do. Briefs are what your AI knows about a subject, because someone took the time to write it down and share it.

Use Cases

Design systems. Author a Brief covering logo usage, color tokens, typography, spacing, and accessibility rules. Anyone on the team can paste the link into their AI and ask context-specific questions instead of reading a brand guide.

Startup fundraising. Build a Brief with your company story, financials, market analysis, technical architecture, team background, and traction metrics. Share one link with investors and let each investor's AI surface the details that matter most to them.

Onboarding. Create a Brief covering internal tools, dev workflows, coding standards, and team norms. New hires paste the link into their AI and ask things like "how do I deploy to staging?" or "what's the PR review process?" from day one.

API documentation. Brief your API surface with endpoints, auth patterns, rate limits, error codes, and common integration patterns. Consumers ask their AI implementation-specific questions instead of searching through docs.

Client deliverables. Summarize findings, recommendations, and supporting data from a consulting engagement in a Brief. The client's team explores the insights through their own AI instead of flipping through a slide deck.

Get Started

Create your first Brief at sharebriefs.com/new. Write what you know, grab the link, and share it.

That's it. No setup, no configuration, no integrations to install. Just knowledge at a URL for your AI.
