- (2024-01-17) Duy Trần Trọng Khánh: Briefy work perfect but I couldn't access some feature even I upgrade an account. I double checked, that feature is required Standard or above to use and my account is Standard.
- (2023-10-20) Been using Briefy for a month now, and it's a real time-saver. I can use it on almost all the web pages. Most of the time as a digital marketer, I use it for browsing content, blogs, etc. The UI's pretty nice btw.
- (2023-09-21) Yury George: Are the owners serious? The only expanatory info they have shows an article from an arbitrary site that has an embedded button for Briefying, whereas other pages of the same site don't, not saying a word about enacting the function on other websites of interest, neither through Chrome menus. No FAQ, just an option of sending an email to the developers, but what for, just to learn the very basic functionality interface? Is this supposed to be working at all?
- (2023-09-17) Bella Ho: This is truly a user-friendly product. I was always tiring of reading a long article but at the end feeling that I didn't get the point. It was so frustrating. This tool definitely changes the situation. The summaries are accurate and complete. And the loading time is short so basically the experience is smooth. Keep on building this tool team!
- (2023-09-06) Hao Wu: Fancy UI, nice start for a LLM based reading assistant tool
- (2023-09-06) Mia: 使ってみた感想 要約機能のツールは他にもたくさんあるけど、Briefyの要約はその中でもとても正確。 長文、研究論文、記事を読むのにとても役に立つと思う。 ハッシュタグや絵文字があってデザインも良く、直感的で使いやすい。 日本語もサポートしてて良いと思う。
- (2023-08-28) Xaa Kii: Recently, I started using Briefy Here's my take: **Ease of Use:** The extension integrates seamlessly into Chrome, making it effortlessly accessible when browsing. With a single click, I can get the essence of lengthy articles or pages without sifting through the entire content. **Accuracy:** I was pleasantly surprised at the accuracy of the summaries. While no tool can capture every nuance, this extension comes commendably close. It prioritizes the main points and presents them in a concise manner. **Design & Interface:** The user interface is intuitive. The design is sleek, not obtrusive, and the summarized content appears in a well-organized manner, making reading a breeze. **Room for Improvement:** While the extension works wonders on standard articles and blogs, it sometimes struggles with highly graphical pages or those with mixed media. I hope future updates address this minor shortcoming. **Verdict:** If you're someone constantly on the move, or just looking to quickly glean the crux of a webpage, Briefy is a valuable tool to have in your arsenal. It's saved me time and kept me informed, making it a worthy addition to my browser.
- (2023-08-24) Cox Zuck: Briefy is the best summarization tool I've ever used!
