📰 ONE BRIEF · TWO WAYS TO READ IT

Ten tabs open before your first coffee.

You're not trying to be informed about everything. You have four or five things you need to stay on top of, and no time to go looking for them every morning.

Name the topics. joris reads the open web overnight and writes you one brief, grouped into themes, with a line on why each item matters to you. Then it renders that brief in the shape your morning has room for.

THE ONE THING THIS TEMPLATE DOES

Same reporting. Two documents.

The same overnight research, shaped either way. Sixty seconds on a phone at the bus stop, or a front page you sit with over breakfast. Most people run one on weekdays and the other on Sunday.

Graça rents climb 4% as supply thins

Three quarters of rises in the district you've been searching since April — and what it does to your budget.

Asking rents in the parish rose 4.1% against the previous quarter, with two-bedroom stock falling to its lowest level in eighteen months. For a search anchored at €1,200, that shifts the realistic ceiling by roughly €50 a month.

Two build permits filed last week sit within your radius, but neither completes before next summer.

RATES
ECB holds, tracker unchanged
No action needed. Next decision 11 September.
POLICY
AI Act moves to Q1
Your autumn compliance work now has a hard date in front of it.
IN BRIEF
Two seed rounds in your sector · one competitor changed pricing · nothing on your muted topics.
Best on a laptop · a real lead story, ranked and written
Same research, same routine, two layouts — the layout is a setting on the routine, so switching is one dropdown, any morning, and your past briefs stay exactly as they were.
TOPICS, NOT SOURCES

It has a finish line. A feed doesn't.

You name interests, not outlets — mortgage rates, your neighbourhood, your sector, the two people you like reading. The brief ends. There's no next page, no infinite scroll, no engagement to farm. When you've read it, you're done and you go to work.

THIS BRIEF
Written for one reader
Grouped into your themes, with a “why this matters to you” line, and an end. Yesterday's is saved to compare.
STEERING

It gets sharper because you talk to it

There's no preferences screen with forty toggles. You reply to the brief the way you'd reply to a person, and tomorrow reflects it. A fortnight in, the brief is unmistakably yours.

YOUR NOTE · TUE 07:12

“I don't need national politics. Keep the housing stuff, and I want it to say what each item means for my budget.”

WEDNESDAY 07:00 · WHAT CHANGED
National politics dropped as a theme. Three items gone.
+
Every item now ends in a “for you” line — the euro figure, not the abstraction.
Housing promoted to lead and given the front-page slot in the newspaper layout.
Every version is kept. Compare today's brief with last Monday's whenever you like.
STRAIGHT ANSWERS

Before you ask

How is this different from a newsletter?

A newsletter is one editor's list of topics sent to everyone. Your joris brief is built around your beats only, reads the live web each morning, and merges duplicate coverage so you read each story once. It's a briefing of one.

Where does it get the news?

It reads the live web at run time — not a stale cache — and cites its sources so you can click through on anything worth going deeper on.

Can I control what's in it?

Yes, and without re-prompting. Leave a one-line note on any brief — “more local politics, drop crypto” — and the next morning's brief reflects it. It learns your beats over time.

When does it arrive?

Whenever you set — most people pick just before they wake up, so the brief is the first thing waiting. You can also run it twice a day or on a custom cadence.

Does it avoid repeating the same story?

Yes. Deduping across sources is a core part of the template — the same event covered by five outlets becomes one line, not five, so a busy morning stays a sixty-second read.

PAIRS WELL WITH

If that wasn't quite the shape

People who run this routine tend to add one of these within a fortnight.

NOT YOUR MORNING?

Tell us the brief you'd read at 07:00

A one-page board update. A shift handover. A market open written for your desk. Describe the document you'd want waiting and we'll design the output template — it lands on your existing plan.

Tomorrow's brief is already written

Name four or five things you need to stay on top of, pick a time, and the first brief lands overnight. Reply to it once and it starts sounding like yours.
