Iguazu

Welcome to Briefly 1.36, also known as our Iguazu Release.

Iguazu comes fresh off the back of our ‘Briefly for agencies’ release and sees a host of quality of life improvements for clients and agency folk alike.

Here's what we shipped...

Home got a refurb

See your projects at a glance with new summaries and briefing cards

We’ve launched a new Home experience, designed to make staying on top of your work easier than before.

Now, you’ll see dynamic summaries of your briefs and projects, so you don’t miss important updates.

Our new briefing cards provide key details—such as assigned team members and campaign launch dates—allowing you to check project statuses without opening individual documents.

Easily switch between a card view and an enhanced table view for the layout that works best for you.

If there’s another view or specific metadata you’d like to see, just let us know.

Status Quo → Status Woah

Track the status of your briefs and projects without having to juggle multiple apps

Our old brief statuses weren’t very helpful. And plenty of you complained that you couldn’t edit them (as they were set automatically based on hard-coded events).

So, we’ve built entirely new ones…

Briefs now have 5 statuses:

• Thinking - when you’re just getting started and are moving through the Discovery Questions
• Editing - when you’re in your brief, err, editing it
• Briefed - when you’ve submitted your brief to your agency
• In Development - when your agency is working on the response to your brief
• Completed - when your project is all wrapped up
• Cancelled - when your project has fallen apart

Some status updates will still happen automatically (such as when you submit the brief to your agency). That said, you can update any status manually whenever you like, so you’re in complete control.

Both your new Home experience and the new statuses are a step towards us getting better at project management. We’d really appreciate your feedback here: What’s working? What’s missing?

Everything else

Here’s a list of everything else we shipped…

🏞️ Enabled adding images to briefs

✉️ Improved submit to agency flow

🏡 Gave the dashboard experience a spring clean

🖥️ Improved responsiveness for different screen sizes (still lots to do - we’re on it)

⚡️ Sped up app performance (~10% faster load times)

🗂️ Test run briefs now pull from your key docs just like normal briefs

📈 Enhanced evaluation algorithms to better monitor AI performance

📆 Fixed response/ campaign dates so they can now be cleared

📚 Fixed a quite horrible bug with GenUI discovery questions where too many options would cause, well, everything to break

We ship major updates every two weeks.
