How to use BriefCall

From install to your first hint — just a couple of minutes. Here is every step, with illustrations.

01Start

Install the app

Download the .dmg on the “Download” page and drag BriefCall into Applications. On first launch, allow audio access — that is how the app hears the other person.

02Start

Sign in

Create an account with your email — and get 500 free tokens right away, about 30 minutes. Your balance is always visible in the app.

03Prepare

Add context

Create a profile: briefly describe the goal of the call and attach your price list, deck or script — PDF, DOCX or TXT. A separate profile for each client. This way hints rely on your facts, not guesses.

04Call

Start the call

Open any calling app — Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Telegram — and press “Start” in BriefCall. The app hears only the other person’s audio; your microphone is not recorded.

05Call

Get hints

The other person asks — and in about a second, an exact answer appears over your screen, with a translation of the phrase (🌐) and the fact you need (💡). The window is semi-transparent and clicks pass through it.

06Call

Live translation

If they speak a foreign language, a separate window shows subtitles translated into your language in real time — and the ready reply comes in their language.

Screen snapshot

Need to work through what is on screen — a task, a chart, an email? Take a snapshot with ⌘ ⇧ X and the AI answers from it. A short answer costs 60 tokens, with a full solution and explanation — 120.

08Study

Lecture mode

For students: turn on lecture mode — BriefCall listens to a class online or in the hall, transcribes it, and at the end builds a structured summary. Nothing is shown over your screen during the lecture. The notes export to PDF.

Keep an eye on tokens

Tokens are spent only while the app is listening and preparing hints. The app always shows what is left and roughly how many hours that is for you. A typical hour is ≈ 1,000 tokens.
