Evidence and contracts
Preview pages, cite exact pages, and keep supporting documents close without opening another app.
Meeting prep without the screen-share scramble
One beautiful interactive document for the whole meeting.
briefcrate lets teams combine PDFs, HTML pages, slide decks, Canva exports, CSV tables, images, links, attachments, and live notes into one polished meeting crate. Present from a single flow instead of switching screens and breaking the room's attention.

The old way
Screen sharing turns meeting flow into tab management.
Everyone has seen it: the presenter jumps from a deck to a PDF, then to a browser tab, then to a spreadsheet, then back to notes. The screen share flickers, private windows get exposed, and the meeting loses momentum. briefcrate gives the meeting one front door.
One crate, many sources
Briefs, decks, webpages, tables, and notes belong in the same meeting object.
briefcrate is for the messy reality of preparation. Teams rarely walk into a meeting with one perfect deck. They have a PDF brief, a Canva visual, a browser link, a table, an old PPT, and comments from three people. The crate turns that pile into a guided document.
Pages and portals
Keep links as clean cards today, with room for richer webpage captures later.
Legacy decks
Treat PowerPoint as a first-class attachment and convert to PDF when polished previews matter.
Designed moments
Bring Canva exports into the agenda so visual material appears exactly when the room needs it.
Tables and numbers
Preview structured data and reference tables directly from notes and reports.
Live thinking
Capture decisions, action items, personal notes, and content references while the meeting is running.
Built in the MVP
Everything the local prototype already proves.
The current app is a private local-first cockpit with the core meeting workflow already working end to end.
Workspace dashboard
Create, open, and delete meeting workspaces with realistic sample content ready for demos.
Agenda plus resources
Edit sections, attach materials, and mark each item as presentable or supporting material.
Multi-format library
Upload PDFs, images, CSV files, Markdown, text notes, and generic attachments. Add webpages manually.
Rich previews
Navigate PDF pages, inspect CSV tables, read Markdown, view images, and open clean link cards.
Clickable references
Use references like [[resource:id]], [[resource:id#page=3]], and [[resource:id#table]] inside notes.
Presentation and export
Run a full-screen agenda flow, toggle presenter notes, then export a clean HTML or JSON summary.
Where briefcrate goes next
A collaborative environment for preparing the meeting before anyone enters the room.
The product direction is a shared crate where team members drag and drop content into the meeting, arrange the story together, and then each person can take private notes during the live session.
In practice: one shared preparation space before the meeting, one elegant presentation surface during the meeting, and one personal report for every participant after the meeting.
- Drag and drop PDFs, PPT files, Canva exports, HTML pages, images, tables, and links.
- Co-create the agenda and decide what belongs in the presentation flow.
- Let each participant make their own notes tied to content items.
- Send each person their own report after the meeting.
- Upload meeting reports into Notion as structured documentation.
