Requires iOS 26+ · iPadOS 26+ · macOS 26+ · Apple Intelligence
Works on any document. Deeper on six.
BrieFolio handles any document you drop in — emails, PDFs, scanned text, plain notes. For six common types — Contract, Meeting Notes, Research Paper, Invoice, Academic Essay, and Generic Document — it applies a purpose-built extraction schema with deeper analysis and richer suggestions.
Highlights
- Contract: obligations, deadlines, parties, and risk flags
- Meeting Notes: action items, decisions, and attendees
- Research Paper: methodology, findings, and citations
- Invoice: amounts, due dates, line items, and totals
Foundation Models — fully on-device
BrieFolio uses Apple's 3-billion-parameter Foundation Models framework. All document processing happens locally on your device. Nothing is sent to any server.
Highlights
- 3B-parameter on-device Foundation Models inference
- Zero documents sent to external servers
- Works without an internet connection
- Apple Intelligence required: iPhone 15 Pro+, iPad M1+, or Apple Silicon Mac
Ask, Draft, Summarize, Compare
Extraction is the start. BrieFolio includes four assistant tools to actually work with the document. Ask is conversational Q&A grounded in your document — get specific answers without re-reading. Deeper Summary is multi-level, not just a one-paragraph skim. Draft Reply generates contract-aware responses. Compare puts two documents side-by-side.
Highlights
- Ask: conversational Q&A grounded in document content
- Deeper Summary: multi-level summaries, not single-paragraph skims
- Draft Reply: AI-generated responses to contracts and emails
- Compare: side-by-side analysis of two documents
