How It Works

From source files to a finished brief with clear source notes in six steps.

1
Upload Source Files

Drag and drop PDFs, DOCX files, or paste URLs. These become the source material the AI reads to build your brief.

2
Choose a Brief Format

Choose from 54+ formats like executive summaries, competitive reports, strategy memos, board briefs, and more. Each one shapes the structure and tone of the brief.

3
Configure Settings

Set your audience, detail level, brand voice, and any additional context. These settings tell the AI exactly how to frame and present the information from your sources.

4
Create the Brief

Gixo reads your source files, checks the key facts and numbers, adds source notes, and builds the final brief in the format you picked.

5
Edit the Brief

Refine the brief in the editor. Move sections, rewrite paragraphs, add notes, or use AI help to adjust tone and detail without remaking the whole brief.

6
Export or Share

Export as PDF with professional formatting, share a read-only link with stakeholders, or publish internally for team review and collaboration.

Pro Tip
PDFs usually give the clearest source notes because page numbers and headings are easier to match back to the original file.
Team Tip
Use Briefs for recurring team work. Multiple people can upload files, review drafts, and leave comments in one place.

Frequently Asked Questions

What source file formats can I use?
Briefs accepts PDF, DOCX, TXT, and web URLs. PDF and DOCX usually give the clearest source notes because Gixo can read their structure more reliably. URLs are fetched and turned into text automatically.
How many source documents can I upload per brief?
You can upload multiple source files for one brief. Gixo reads all of them and compares facts across them. More sources usually help, but they also add a little more processing time.
Can my team work on the same brief together?
Yes. Team members can open the same brief, upload source files, and leave comments. Changes sync so everyone sees the latest version.
What are the 8 checks?
They are the steps Gixo uses to build a reliable brief: reading your sources, pulling out key facts, checking numbers, adding source notes, shaping the structure, checking tone, reviewing quality, and formatting the final brief.
What export formats are available for briefs?
Briefs can be exported as PDF, shared with read-only links, or copied as formatted HTML. PDF keeps the source notes, headings, and layout intact.
