How it works
From noisy chats to a clear next step.
GroupChatBrief does the catching up for you, without reading anything you did not choose.
02
It reads and summarises.
Every hour, and with a full recap at 8 pm, it reads new messages from those groups and works out what matters.
Hundreds of messages, one short summary.03
You get the plan.
For each group: what was discussed, the plan, the final decision, and what is still open. Tap to set a reminder or add it to your calendar.
Plans with dates become reminders and calendar events.Features
Less scrolling. More doing.
Everything you need to turn group chat into a lightweight to-do list.
Summary per group.
Discussed, plan, final decision. Every important item listed on its own, not squashed into one paragraph.
Action plan.
Today and upcoming items in one place. Mark things resolved when done.
Add to Calendar.
Plans with a date and time turn into a Google Calendar event in one tap.
Reminders.
A nudge one hour before an event, so badminton at 7 does not get lost under 40 photos.
Needs reply.
Messages you have not answered, ranked High, Medium or Low. Remind me later or mark resolved.
Mute and quiet.
Mute a group forever, for 30 days, or until you unmute it. Groups quiet for 6+ months stay hidden.
