How to create a business brief with Gixo from your files
A simple walkthrough for turning reports, notes, and source documents into a business brief you can review, improve, and share.
The briefs workflow combines source files, format selection, editing, and export so one workspace can take a document set to a finished brief.
A business brief is a short, structured document — built from your own reports, notes, and source files — that summarizes the key facts, figures, and recommendations a team needs to act on, without the reader having to read the underlying source material. In Gixo, a business brief is generated from your uploaded files in 6 steps, drawing on 59 brief recipes (formats like KPI summaries, comparisons, and checklists) so the structure matches the kind of brief you actually need. Every figure in the draft is checked against the source files you uploaded, so unsupported numbers are easier to catch before the brief is shared with your team.

How Do You Create a Business Brief From Your Files?
This is the easiest path if you already have documents and want a clear first draft instead of starting from a blank page.
Start with the reports, notes, transcripts, or research that should feed the brief.
Pick the recipe that best matches the output you want, then add any instructions that matter for this draft.
Gixo turns the source material into a structured brief, checks the output, and gives you something concrete to review.
Tighten wording, change sections, and improve weak spots without rebuilding the entire brief.
Bring in teammates, collect comments, and make changes in one shared workspace.
Once the brief looks right, export it in a shareable format and send it where it needs to go.
