BriefMe vs Fellow

Fellow is a great tool for building collaborative agendas and capturing meeting notes. BriefMe takes a different approach — it auto-generates your full brief before the meeting, so you don't have to prepare manually at all.

BriefMe

Automatic preparation. Connects to your Google Calendar, Gmail, and Drive — then generates a complete brief with talking points, context, and a heads-up in under 30 seconds. Zero manual input.

Best for: solo meeting prep, individual contributors
F
Fellow

Collaborative agenda management. Teams build shared meeting agendas together, take notes during the meeting, and track action items across the organisation.

Best for: team-wide meeting culture, managers

Individual contributors often use BriefMe. Teams that need shared agendas use Fellow. Some use both.
