AI agents can ship quickly, but without the right product context, they're often flying blind. Brief gives product teams a living source of truth that captures decisions, preserves product intent, and serves relevant context to humans and agents through chat, Slack, CLI, and MCP. It keeps strategy, decisions, and execution connected from vision to impact.
Hey Product Hunt, I'm Drew, co-founder of Brief. Huge thanks to @chrismessina for hunting us!
Brief is a teammate that knows your product cold: why every decision got made, what you ruled out, and where you're headed. Ask it in Slack or chat. Your coding agents ask it too, over MCP and CLI.
The problem
Every time you spin up a new coding agent, you re-explain six months of decisions. Why the schema looks the way it does. Which approach you already ruled out. What the customer actually asked for. With no context, the agent confidently ships the wrong thing and you waste time.
Give that same agent access to Brief and it follows your team's decisions 95% of the time, up from 46% on the codebase alone. In our benchmark, 8 of 8 tasks came back merge-ready versus 2 of 8 without Brief, at 68% lower cost per shipped task.
How it works
Point Brief at GitHub and your task manager (Linear, Jira, etc.)
20+ agents catalog your decisions, encode strategy, research users, and map competitors
Spin up a new coding agent and Brief onboards it for you, pulling in just the context that matters
Wire it in with npm i -g @briefhq/cli then brief init, or connect any agent over MCP at https://app.briefhq.ai/mcp
Nothing new to learn. No migration. Brief reads the work you're already doing and keeps the ship pointed in the right direction.
Who it's for
For indie hackers and early teams, Brief is your product strategy partner. For scale-ups, your executor and decision keeper. For AI-pilled enterprises, a transformation force multiplier.
🎁 For Product Hunt
3 Months Free, plus Brief will guide you through building a killer Product Hunt launch strategy. Expires at midnight June 10th.
👉 Get started at briefhq.ai. Point it at GitHub and watch the agents catalog your last 6 months of decisions in minutes.
Would love your feedback and your roasts. We're in the comments all day. 🙌
AI Ships. Brief Navigates.

Who hunted Brief?
Brief was hunted by Chris Messina. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
