Publishers are great at their craft.
Buried under the process around it.

Every morning, before a single story gets written, editorial teams lose hours to work that should never have been manual.

200+
Signals arriving every day

RSS feeds, Reddit threads, press releases, social trends. Most never become a story, but someone has to read them all. Every single morning.

~2 hrs/editor filtering
Competitors publish first

Without systematic coverage monitoring, you find out about the story after three competitors have already published. Missed stories are lost traffic, permanently.

Coverage gaps go undetected
45 min
Every brief built from scratch

Even when the story is found, building the brief takes 30 to 45 minutes. Every time. Angle, context, sources, tone. Starting from zero, every single day.

Repeated daily, per editor

From signal to story.
One automated workflow.

Briefroom runs every morning while your team sleeps. By 9am, the day is already planned.

Briefing assistant
Not sure about the angle? Just ask.

The briefing assistant is built into every brief. Ask it to suggest a different angle, find supporting sources, draft interview questions or check what competitors have written. It searches the web in real time and responds in the context of the story — no switching tools, no copy-pasting between tabs.

Briefroom costs 5% of what it delivers.

Every number below is based on a real sport publisher. 3 editors, 22 working days/month, €35/hr. 25% of freed time reinvested in new content. The other 75% is yours. Adjust for your team: every extra editor multiplies the return.

Why this exists

I built Briefroom because I sat in the same editorial meeting you're sitting in right now.

I ran editorial and commercial operations for an international publisher for ten years. We had hundreds of signals arriving daily. We had good editors and we still missed stories. Not because the team wasn't capable, but because the volume was simply not processable by humans. That gap is where Briefroom was born.

I watched editors spend their best hours filtering rather than writing. I watched stories get missed because nobody had time to check what competitors had covered. I watched briefs get built from scratch, every single time, when most of the work was the same work we'd done the day before.

Briefroom is the system I wished I'd had. Built from the inside out.
