Live briefing instrument · for agency PMs

The meeting
is the brief.

The live transcript becomes a cited brief while you talk — signed off before everyone leaves the room.

No credit card required.

How Clearly works

From calendar invite
to signed brief.

Deepgram streams a diarized transcript; every ~30 seconds an AI pass updates the brief — every field cited to the client’s exact sentence — and suggests flags on ambiguous language. You gate every one of them.

Connect calendar

The transcript becomes a brief as you talk; every flag waits for your call.
04
Sign off live
Brief and handoff are agreed before the call ends.

One screen, the whole instrument: the transcript on the left, the brief assembling itself on the right — every field cited, ambiguity flagged for you to gate.

Phone, laptop, meeting room — one session.

Your client sees only what you surface. Enforced by the server, not by promise.

The brief, deconstructed

Every field traces back
to a sentence in the room.

Hover any citation — the brief and the transcript light up together. Nothing in the brief is invented; it’s the client’s own words, organized.

Senior Project Manager, brand studio, London
“Clients see exactly what we heard, in their own words. Scope conversations got noticeably shorter.”

FAQ

Asked before
every first meeting.

Where does my audio go — is it stored?
Your microphone streams to Deepgram for live transcription. During the meeting, the transcript and working brief live in memory only. When the session ends, the signed-off brief is saved to your workspace — Clearly does not store the audio. Full posture on our privacy page.
Does my client see the AI?
No. The AI suggests; you decide. Nothing reaches the client view unless you explicitly surface it — no auto-surface, no batch-approve, ever. Your client sees a brief taking shape in their own words, gated by you.
What if I run out of minutes mid-meeting?
We never cut a running meeting. The session finishes normally — your balance can go below zero and settles on your next top-up or renewal.
Do minutes expire?
Never. Monthly minutes roll over forever, and pay-as-you-go bundles never expire either. A minute you bought is a minute you own.
Which languages does it support?
Transcription runs on Deepgram Nova-3 multilingual, and the language of the brief itself is configurable — your client can speak one language while the brief is written in another.
Do I need Microsoft Teams?
No — Clearly works standalone in any meeting where you can run a browser. Connecting Teams enriches it: scheduled meetings arrive with client, project, and attendees pre-filled from your calendar.
How is this different from a notetaker?
Notetakers summarize after the meeting. Clearly builds the brief during it: every field is cited to the client’s exact sentence, ambiguous language is flagged while the client is still in the room, and you gate everything that surfaces. You leave with a signed brief — not a recap to clean up.
