For the clinical record.
Reviewed correspondence for the referrer and ongoing care.

Dear Dr Taylor,
The symptoms occur while walking uphill and settle with rest.
Kind regards,
Dr Sam Lee
The scribe built to be checked
The letter is signed. The evening is yours.
Briefly drafts a clinical letter and a clear patient edition from the consultation. You review both against what was said, then sign and send in your voice.
Clinician-built on one belief: the letter should come from the consultation, not from memory hours later.
Judge it on your own letters. 14-day trial (or 10 letters, whichever comes first) after invitation; no payment details to request access.
You stopped typing. You did not stop editing.
Source-linked review
Inspect the source behind the draft.
Briefly shows the consultation context beside the draft, flags wording it could not tie clearly to what was said, and waits for you before anything is sent. Select any underlined statement to see what it rests on.

A source link shows what a statement rests on. It does not establish that the statement is correct or complete. Nothing is sent until you approve it.

From the same consultation
Three things to remember
- Seek urgent help if the discomfort becomes severe, occurs at rest or is accompanied by concerning symptoms.
How it works
Consult fully. Write briefly.
Four visible stages keep the consultation, the draft and your responsibility connected.
01 · RECORD
Have the consultation.
Record ambiently or dictate afterwards. Briefly preserves the consultation as the source for the draft.
02 · DRAFT
Receive the correspondence.
Briefly structures a clinical letter and a patient edition from the same consultation.
03 · CHECK
Review the source.
Open linked context, resolve exceptions and edit the wording until it reflects what happened.
04 · SIGN
Own what goes out.
You approve, sign, export and deliver. Briefly never bypasses clinician review.
Why Briefly exists
Built from the gap between the consultation and the letter.
The consultation ended. The documentation did not — and the patient left with nothing to keep.
As an interventional cardiologist I watched the same hour repeat. A careful consultation would finish, and then the work would start again — turning back to a keyboard to reconstruct twenty minutes from memory, often hours after the room had emptied.
Briefly carries the consultation forward in both directions: a clinical letter you check against the source, and a plain-language edition the patient can keep. I built it because I wanted to use it.

Calculate your current correspondence time
What does correspondence take in your week?
Enter your letters each week and minutes per letter to see your weekly total. Your estimate, not a Briefly claim.
What to know before requesting access.
Can Briefly send a letter without me?
No. Nothing leaves Briefly until you have reviewed and approved it, because the clinician owns what goes out. Export, delivery and receipt are separate, visible states — and if you need letters sent unattended, Briefly will not do that.
What if Briefly gets a clinical fact wrong?
It can, which is why the consultation stays beside the draft. Statements link to the context they rest on, and wording Briefly could not tie to what was said is flagged for you to confirm, edit or remove. If you want a draft you can sign without checking, Briefly is the wrong tool.
What does a source link actually establish?
It shows the consultation context a draft statement rests on. It does not prove the source was unambiguous, the statement is clinically correct, or the draft is complete. Your review remains authoritative.
Will the letters sound like me?
They follow the preferences you set, and every letter is a draft you edit before signing. Choose your writing preferences and templates for your own correspondence. Automatic learning from patient-letter content is unavailable. Patient information is not used for model training.
Is this just another scribe?
Briefly is built for the step after the consultation: turning it into correspondence you can check and sign. Transcription is source material, not a finished letter. If you only need speech typed into another application, desktop dictation does that, without the review and signing workflow.
Who else is using Briefly?
Briefly is in an invitation-only pilot, and no clinician is named on this page unless they have agreed in writing. If you would rather wait for colleagues' experience, that is a reasonable choice. Ask a question first and the Briefly team will tell you where the pilot stands.
How long is the trial, and do I need a card?
14 days or 10 letters, whichever comes first, starting when you accept your invitation. No payment details are needed to request access, because the fair test is your own letters, not a sales call.
The consultation is over.
The correspondence can be too.
Judge Briefly on your own correspondence, not on this page. Request an invitation, and the trial starts when you accept it.
