Visible is a mature template-driven platform for investor updates. You fill in sections, pull in metrics via integrations, and send. Briefer is an AI coworker: it drafts the update proactively from a persistent memory of your company, asks for approval, then sends. The two products aim at the same outcome with different primitives.

Common questions
- Can I migrate from Visible to Briefer?
- Yes. Briefer ingests your prior updates (export from Visible or paste in) to seed the memory layer, and connects to the same data sources you already have linked in Visible.
- Does Briefer have an investor database like Visible?
- Not today. Briefer is scoped to the update workflow (drafting, approval, delivery, tracking). If you rely heavily on Visible's investor search and outreach, Briefer isn't a replacement for those specific features.
- Is Briefer cheaper than Visible?
- Pricing on both platforms depends on plan and company size. Briefer is currently invite-only while the first pilot companies onboard. See the pricing page for current tiers.
- Can I use both Briefer and Visible?
- Yes, but most founders pick one. They overlap on the core update workflow, so maintaining both means duplicate setup and integrations.
