# Brifo for Consultants

Brifo turns client meetings into billable artifacts: structured notes, action items, and follow-up emails. No bot, on macOS.

## What Consultants struggle with
- 5+ client meetings a day across multiple engagements
- Each client expects a polished follow-up note within hours
- Action items live in your head until you remember to file them
- Multi-client context-switching causes notes to blur
- Confidentiality means a bot in the meeting is often a hard no
- Time tracking and billable hours require manual reconstruction

## How Brifo helps
### No bot in client meetings
Confidentiality first. Brifo captures local macOS system audio. No external attendee, no cloud audio upload, no awkward conversation with the client about why 'Otter.ai' is in the call.

### Polished follow-up note within minutes
Within 30 seconds of meeting end, you have structured notes (decisions, action items, next steps) ready to send to the client.

### Per-client meeting Q&A chat
Ask 'what did Acme commit to for the Q2 timeline?' and Brifo pulls from every Acme meeting.

### Action items filed to Jira or Linear
Push commitments to the client's project tracker if you have access, or your internal one if you don't.

### Auto-organized by attendee
Per-attendee updates make it easy to send personalized recaps to multiple stakeholders.

### Free during beta
Independent consultants and boutique firms get the same tool for $0.

## A day in your week
- **9:00 AM**: Client A strategy workshop (Brifo: Captures decisions, files action items to client's Jira)
- **11:00 AM**: Client B implementation review (Brifo: Generates polished recap email, ready to send by 11:45 AM)
- **2:00 PM**: Client A follow-up sync (Brifo: Ask Brifo what was committed in the morning. Context lands instantly.)
- **4:00 PM**: Internal team debrief (Brifo: Pulls all today's client notes for the team summary)
- **End of day**: Weekly billable hours report (Brifo: Search across meetings to reconstruct accurate hours per client)

## TL;DR
Consultants run client-confidential meetings all day. Brifo captures them on macOS without a bot, generates polished follow-ups in minutes, and organizes per-client context for instant recall.

Consulting is a profession of converting conversation into artifacts. Decks, recaps, action lists, status updates. The consultants who win are the ones whose artifacts arrive faster, look more polished, and never drop a thread. Brifo is built for that conversion. Every client meeting gets captured locally on your Mac (no bot, no privacy conversation with the client), structured into notes within 30 seconds, and queryable later when the next call needs context from the previous one. The combination is rare. It's fast (notes ready before the next meeting starts), it's confidential (audio never leaves your laptop), and it's free during beta (no procurement justification needed). For independent consultants and boutique firms especially, the math is hard to beat.

## FAQ
**Can I use Brifo with confidential client meetings?**

Yes. That's exactly the design. Audio stays on your Mac. No bot in the meeting. Only the text transcript reaches our cloud for AI processing, with OpenAI's no-train-on-API-data policy.

**How fast does the follow-up note generate?**

Within 30 seconds of meeting end, typically. You'll have the recap ready before the client closes their laptop.

**Does Brifo organize notes by client?**

Yes. Meetings are organized by date and you can search across them by client, attendee, or topic. Per-client context is easy to retrieve.

**Will Brifo work with my client's Jira?**

If you have credentials to the client's Jira, yes. Brifo can file action items there with one click. Same for Linear and OpenProject.

**Is Brifo compliant enough for enterprise clients?**

Formal SOC 2 is in progress. The architectural privacy posture (no cloud audio) is stronger than many cloud-audio tools that do have SOC 2. Talk to us about your client's specific requirements.

**Can I share Brifo notes with my client?**

Yes. Export as text or markdown and send. Native sharing features are on the roadmap.
