The scribe built to be checked
Briefly drafts from the consultation. You review it against the source, sign it, and keep your voice.
Clinician-built. For colleagues and patients.
You stopped typing. You did not stop editing.
Briefly makes the review step visible: a source-linked draft, flags for statements it could not tie clearly to the consultation, and explicit clinician review before anything goes out.
“The discomfort comes on walking uphill and settles after a few minutes of rest.”
The patient describes exertional chest discomfort when walking uphill, resolving with rest.
“The discomfort comes on walking uphill and settles after a few minutes of rest.”
Context supports review. It does not establish correctness or completeness.
Source context is available. Confirm the wording reflects the consultation.
One consultation becomes two related documents, each written for the person who needs to use it.
Structured for the referrer, the file and the next clinician. Source-linked, reviewed and signed.
Thank you for referring Alex Morgan for review of intermittent exertional chest discomfort.Source linked
The symptoms occur while walking uphill and settle with rest. Further investigations have been arranged and are listed in the plan for review.
Kind regards,
Dr Sam Lee
Plain language, larger type and a short list of the decisions they are most likely to need later.
Four visible stages keep the consultation, the draft and your responsibility connected.
Record ambiently or dictate afterwards. Briefly preserves the consultation as the source for the draft.
Briefly structures a clinical letter and a patient edition from the same consultation.
Open linked context, resolve exceptions and edit the wording until it reflects what happened.
You approve, sign, export and deliver. Briefly never bypasses clinician review.
Briefly is designed for clinicians who already know the cost of cleaning up a rough draft, and for those who will not adopt a scribe they cannot inspect.
Generic structure, awkward language and hard-to-trace details can move the work rather than finish it.
A scribe should not leave you another rough draft.
Review states remain visible, source context stays close and nothing is released without your sign-off.
You remain the author from the first 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.
The patient’s half was quieter and worse. They left holding a plan they had understood for about as long as it took to reach the car park, with nothing to read when it actually mattered.
Briefly carries that consultation forward in both directions: a clinical letter you check against the source and sign, and a plain-language edition the patient can keep. It drafts. You remain the author.
Briefly supports clinical documentation. It does not replace clinical judgement or take responsibility for what you sign.
Every letter requires explicit review and approval. There is no unsupervised send mode.
Material draft statements can be linked back to consultation context for review.
Style learning is off by default. If enabled, it uses your approved letters to follow your preferred structure and tone.
Briefly is a processing workspace, not the medical-record archive. Export approved correspondence to your practice record system.
Briefly drafts. The clinician reviews, owns, signs and releases.
Nothing is released without explicit clinician approval.The questions a practice asks before a scribe is allowed near a consultation. Short answers here; the full detail on the security page.
Recordings and letters are deleted automatically after 30 days. Briefly is a processing workspace, not your medical record.
AES-256 at rest with per-user envelope encryption and rotating keys. TLS 1.2 or later in transit.
No. Patient data is never sent to language models for training, and it is not pooled across practices.
Storage is scoped to your practice, with role-based permissions, mandatory multi-factor authentication and an immutable audit log of every access.

You choose your letter structure, greeting and sign-off from the start. Every letter remains editable. Style learning is optional and off by default; if you enable it, Briefly can use approved letters to follow your structure and tone.
It lets you inspect the consultation context associated with a draft statement. It does not prove that the source was unambiguous, the statement is clinically correct or the draft is complete. Your review remains authoritative.
No. Every letter requires explicit clinician review and approval. Export, delivery and receipt remain separate states.
Your request goes to the Briefly team for review. If the pilot is suitable, you receive an invitation to create an account. The trial begins after you accept it, not when you submit the form.
Invited clinicians can try Briefly for 14 days or 10 letters, whichever comes first. You do not need to enter payment details simply to request access.
Export approved correspondence to your practice’s medical-record system. Briefly is a 30-day processing workspace and is not intended to be the permanent clinical archive.
