Brief builder

Fill in five boxes, copy out a complete brief.

The brief builder turns the five parts of the complete brief into boxes. Fill them in, and it puts them together as one request you can paste into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot or any other chat.

It runs on this page and sends nothing: what you type stays on your device. Copy or print the result when you're done.

How to use it

  1. Fill in the goal first, in one sentence. If that's hard, start with Interview me first instead.
  2. Fill in the other boxes. Leave one blank if it doesn't apply. The brief will ask the AI to check with you before guessing.
  3. Copy the brief, paste it into a new chat, and paste your notes or draft underneath it.
  4. If the answer misses, change the box that would have prevented it, not the whole brief.

Brief builder

The job, and the finished thing you want back: a draft email, a plan, a list of options.

The reader, what they already know, and what has happened so far.

Notes, a draft, figures, an example you like. Paste them in after the brief, with anything on the never-paste card left out.

Length, tone, deadline, budget, and anything it must or must not say.

How you'll judge it: what a great answer has, and what would make you throw it away.

It works on paper too: print it blank and fill it in by hand. Nothing you type is saved or sent anywhere. Reload the page and it's gone.
