Briefed — Understand any German letter in plain English

Understanding German official letters becomes effortless with a simple three-tap process. Users can upload or paste a letter, read it in plain English, and then close the tab, all without needing to understand German. The tool is designed for people who receive official letters from German authorities, landlords, or health insurance companies, and is particularly useful for those who live in Germany. It extracts key information, including deadlines and required actions, and presents it in a clear summary. The tool handles various file formats and image qualities, including blurry or angled photos, and ignores irrelevant details like envelope windows. It supports multiple languages, including English, Spanish, French, Italian, and Polish, with more EU languages to be added through 2026. Users can access explanations for three letters for free, with no account required, and can then upgrade for additional features such as unlimited explanations, deadline reminders, and draft replies in their chosen language. The processing happens on EU-based servers, ensuring that letters are deleted within 60 seconds and are never stored or used to train AI models. Users can cancel their subscription easily from their account page. For matters with significant legal or financial stakes, the tool advises users to consult a lawyer or tax advisor, as it is not a substitute for professional advice.
