AI knowledge base for RIAs and advisor teams

Know every client like they're your only client.

Briefly turns the statements, emails, and meeting notes your firm already has into one knowledge base. Ask inside Claude or in the Briefly web app, and every answer comes back cited. Fix something once, and it holds for the whole team from then on.

Run the connector and client files never reach our servers. Or have us set up the web app, connected to your Salesforce and Outlook.

Still waiting on the K-1 from the Riverside partnership before I can close out their 2025 return. Can you confirm the rollover check cleared before year end?

Anything I should know before the Alvarez call at 2:00?

Their daughter's tuition starts this fall, the 529 is short of the plan, and Maria sounded frustrated about paperwork last visit. The prepared brief covers all three.

What Briefly does

Ten years of files, one knowledge base.

Briefly is an AI knowledge base for financial advisors that runs inside Claude. The answers your firm needs are already sitting in folders, inboxes, and old plans. Briefly files each document into the right client's knowledge base as it arrives, and every fact keeps a link back to the page it came from. The more you add, the better every answer gets.

What a day looks like

One day with the file open.

Briefly isn't a new place to work. Your team keeps asking questions where they already are, and the firm's own records do the answering.

Why it keeps getting better

Correct it once. The whole team inherits it.

When an advisor fixes a name, a preference, or a way of phrasing things, Briefly keeps the fix as a standing rule. Next quarter's brief already follows it, for everyone.

An advisor at one firm fixed a single phrase, "we call it a planning conversation, never a sales meeting." Every brief that firm has received since says it their way.

Where your client data lives

You choose where your files live, and they stay yours either way.

Most AI tools for advisors upload your client data to their servers and promise to protect it. The two ways to run it below are also the two ways your files can live, and both put the choice in your hands.

The Claude connector

Files stay on your machines.

Briefly builds the knowledge base in your firm's own folders and Claude reads it right there, on your plan. Only your sign-in, a seat check, de-identified preferences, and a short usage record for each tool call ever reach Briefly.

The web app

Files live with us, locked down.

We build the client file for you in an environment we secure and control. Your team signs in from a browser, and your firm decides who gets a seat.

Either way, we don't use client data to train AI models, and a seat can move between the two without rebuilding anything.

Two ways to run it

In Claude, or in a web app we set up for you.

Same knowledge base, same citations. What changes is who does the setup and where your team asks.

The Claude connector

$100 per seat per month
  • Runs inside the Claude your team already uses
  • Client files never reach our servers
  • Every answer cites its source document
  • Learns your firm's corrections as standing rules
  • Ask across your whole book, not one chat
  • Set up in a day, no IT ticket

Checkout takes a card but charges nothing for 30 days. Cancel from the billing portal any time.

The web app

$150 per seat per month
  • We build the client file for you
  • Connects your Salesforce and Outlook
  • Approved next steps route back into Salesforce
  • Runs a prospect analysis before the first meeting
  • Sign in from a browser, nothing for IT to install
Book a demo

Run both and a seat moves between them without rebuilding anything, since it is one client file either way. Compare the two in detail.

Before you install anything

What advisors ask us first.

Is my client data safe?

With the connector, client files never reach Briefly's servers. They stay in a folder on your own computer, and only your sign-in, a seat check, de-identified preference rules, and a short usage record for each tool call reach us instead. Firms on the web app keep files in an environment we secure and control, and the firm decides who signs in. Our security page breaks down the full data path if you want more detail.

Do you train AI models on my client data?

We don't use client data to train AI models, and any pattern-level learning runs through a de-identified layer with no client name or account number attached. Claude reads the file under your firm's own Claude plan when it answers a question, and for Claude for Work, Claude Enterprise, and the API, Anthropic's commercial terms bar training on customer content. We recommend running Briefly on a business Claude plan for that reason, and our security page covers the difference in full.

Does Anthropic see my client files when Briefly runs inside Claude?

When you ask a question, Claude reads the file under your firm's own Claude plan to answer it, and Briefly never stores what Claude reads. On business plans, Anthropic's commercial terms bar training on customer content, and that commitment sits in a contract your compliance officer can review. Our security page lays out the full data path, including how personal Claude plans work differently.

Can I put client data into ChatGPT or Claude directly?

Pasting client details into a personal AI chat window sends them to the vendor's servers under consumer terms your firm never reviewed. The SEC's amended Reg S-P rule requires firms to oversee the service providers that handle customer information, which is why compliance teams are asking about AI chat tools. With the Briefly connector, client files stay in your firm's own folders and Claude reads them under the Claude plan your firm chose and can review like any other vendor.

Why not just use Claude or ChatGPT on their own?

AI models change every few months, and what a chat window learned about your firm doesn't carry over. Briefly organizes your firm's knowledge into plain files you own, so the context you build keeps working as models improve or get swapped out. Answers draw on your whole book, corrections hold, and every claim carries a citation you can open.

Can Briefly analyze a prospect before they sign on?

Yes, and you supply everything it works from. Answer five questions about their goals and situation, then attach whatever statements they've shared. Briefly runs up to nine checks against what's actually in those documents, the allocation, the all-in fee, and concentration among them, and hands back findings it can prove alongside questions worth asking at the next meeting. It doesn't make recommendations, and every analysis ends with a plain list of what it could not verify. Read a full sample.

Which one should I pick?

If your team already works in Claude, start with the connector. It reads folders on your own machines and answers where you already work, usually the same day you install it. If you want the file built for you, take the web app instead. We connect Salesforce and Outlook and build the client file, which takes longer on our side, and your team signs in from a browser. A seat can move between them without rebuilding anything.

What happens if I leave?

With the connector there is nothing to migrate, because the files were always in your own folders. Removing it just stops Claude from reading them. On the web app, your firm has ninety days after leaving to export its files in a standard format, and after that window we delete them.
