Briefly 1.21: Welcome to Dry Tortugas

‍

Welcome to Briefly 1.21, also known as Dry Tortugas (it is a National Park, we promise).

Briefly 1.21 sees the arrival of powerful, new Ask Briefly commands, plus in-line comments for more seamless collaboration.

Here's what we shipped...

Ask Legal Briefly

Your brief writing partner just spent 100 hours with your target audience, and got a law degree.

You can now Ask Briefly to imagine the world from your audience’s perspective, to check your research to see if you’ve missed any audience insights, and even to pre-empt that first meeting with Legal by checking your brief against ASA guidelines.

In our Cairngorms release notes we spoke about re-engineering how Ask Briefly works on the backend. This work has improved the speed and accuracy of Ask Briefly, it also allows us to add more powerful commands, faster. So, keep your eyes peeled!

Note from Legal: Briefly DOES NOT provide legal advice. Simple as that.

Comments just got sharper

Collaborate faster with in-line comments.

A few weeks back we shipped Doc Comments, allowing you to comment on the entire brief. Immediately, you told us you wanted higher fidelity comments. So today we’re shipping in-line comments.

We’ve sweated the small stuff - you can comment, reply, resolve, and delete James from Commercial’s idiot suggestion.
