Re: How do I export my data?
Hi, I've been trying to find the export option but I can't seem to locate it anywhere in the settings...

The Problem
Tiny software businesses don't need a bloated helpdesk. They need the repetitive support layer handled without turning the founder inbox into a full-time job.
“I spend 2+ hours every day answering questions that are literally in the docs. I just want to build.”
r/SaaS — recurring founder complaint
“Every helpdesk I've tried is built for a team. I'm one person. Intercom feels like I hired an enterprise.”
r/Entrepreneur — support tool frustration
“My support inbox has become a second job. The questions never stop and they're always the same.”
r/indiehackers — inbox burden thread
How It Works
Brief reads your docs and FAQs, answers repetitive support questions automatically, and escalates anything that needs your judgment — with full context.
Connect your support inbox. Brief processes every incoming email against your docs and generates confident, grounded answers without you touching them.
Upload your documentation, help articles, and FAQs once. Brief learns from them and uses them as source of truth for every support answer.
When Brief isn't confident, it escalates to you with a full context summary and a suggested reply — so you spend 30 seconds instead of 5 minutes.
Why Brief
Traditional helpdesks assume you have a support team. Brief assumes you're the only person handling support — and makes that sustainable.
Support lives in your inbox. Brief works where your customers already reach out — no widget to install, no new channel to manage.
No ticket queues, no SLA dashboards, no team routing. Brief is the minimum viable support layer for a one-person operation.
Brief only auto-answers when it's confident. Anything uncertain gets escalated with full context and a suggested reply.
You get a daily brief instead of a flood of notifications. Know what happened, act on what needs you, ignore the rest.
Who It's For
Brief is the right fit if you recognize yourself here:
You still handle support yourself
You answer the same questions repeatedly
Your docs exist but customers rarely find answers
You're not ready for a full helpdesk stack
