FRStart a brief

By Alexandre Godard

One company. Two ways to look at it.

My research agent writes a deep brief on a company from public sources. Ask as the company, and it ends with where I’d start. Ask as someone weighing an opportunity there, and it ends with where you’d start: one page you can send them.

Start here

Name the company.

Which side are you on?
ThemThe company, or the person behind it.
YouYour own name and profile: the brief makes its case from them.

A research agent on my own machine reads public sources about the company (its site, funding records, news, LinkedIn, GitHub, and what customers and employees say), then reads your own professional record from the pages you gave. It writes one brief: the research first, then your case, ending with a button to reach you. Enter your own profile, never someone else’s. It takes 20 to 40 minutes, and the page updates live. The brief is private until you send it: you get a link that opens it for whoever you give it to, and you can turn that link off.

How it reads

First the research. Then what to do about it.

  1. The top is the research

    How the company is really doing: traction, money, the team, what customers and employees say, where it stands on AI. Numbers with sources, checked against what’s visible from outside. It reads the same whichever side asked.

  2. Then it turns to what to do

    On your own company’s brief, that’s where I’d start, tied to what the research found. On an opportunity, it’s your case: where you’d start there, every point tied to a finding above and backed by your own record.

  3. Private until you send it

    Only you and the people you invite can read a brief. An opportunity brief also comes with a link to send: it opens the page for whoever you give it to, with a button at the end to reach you, and you can turn it off.

Both sides

Two ways in.

  • Weighing an opportunity

    Give the company’s name, or the name of the person behind it: a founder, a hiring manager, a client. Add your own profile. You learn what you’d be walking into, and they get a page that shows you did the reading and where you’d start.

  • Looking at your own company

    Give your company’s name. You see what anyone can find out about it and what it adds up to: your public posture on product, hiring, reliability, security and AI, and where I’d start.

About people

A brief on a company, not a file on a person.

The research is about the company. People appear in it in their role there: its leaders, its team, what they’ve said in public about the business. When you name a person, the brief is still on their company.

The one person the agent reads up on is you, from the profile you give: your roles, your public code, writing and talks. It never looks for a home address, a personal phone number or email, family, health, age, religion or politics. More on the privacy page.
