Briefly is an AI-powered Telegram bot for turning long-form content into concise summaries. It converts voice and video messages, text, and links into compact digests so users can capture the main points without going through the entire material.
Core features
The bot works with Telegram messages and posts, URLs, PDF documents, and YouTube videos. For audio and video, it first performs speech-to-text transcription using ElevenLabs, then relies on OpenAI models to generate structured summaries.
Users can ask follow-up questions about the summarized content and request translations of the summary into one of nine supported languages. This makes Briefly suitable for handling lectures, podcasts, interviews, long articles, and documents.
Briefly can be added to groups and channels to process forwarded voice and video notes. The bot supports basic account management via commands: checking available credits, inviting friends to gain extra credits, purchasing additional usage, and sending feedback to the developers.
