Example morning for an agency founder. Your numbers will differ.

The filter

Everything comes in.
Only the signal comes out.

Receipts, ad alerts, newsletters and tool notifications get counted and set aside. Client worries, unpaid invoices and decisions with your name on them go straight to the top.

Most founders open six apps before nine to find out what kind of day it will be. The brief opens them for you, reads every thread, and keeps only what needs you.

    FAQ

    Questions, answered.

    Can Company Brains see my email?

    No. The brief runs inside your own Claude account, using connectors you switch on. Your inbox never touches our servers. If email delivery is on, we receive only the name and email you type into the form, plus the choices you made in the builder.

    Can it send emails or change my calendar?

    The skill instructs Claude to read only: no sending, replying, accepting, archiving or editing. If you ever want it to draft replies, that's a change you make to the file yourself.

    What happens when it isn't sure?

    It puts the item under "Check this" instead of guessing. It never invents a deadline, an amount or a news story.

    What does it cost?

    The skill is free. You need a paid Claude plan to use skills, connectors and scheduled tasks. The news section uses Claude's web search.

    Can I change it later?

    Yes. SKILL.md is a plain text file. Rename sections, add a client list, change the tone. Or come back here, rebuild it and upload the new version.
