X Brief Install Guide
X Brief, made by Dan McAteer, reads the X accounts and topics you choose and condenses them into one short brief each day. You can let it use your X connection or simply paste the handles you care about.
It is read-only by design and never posts for you, so connecting your account carries little risk. One brief a day replaces the habit of scrolling the feed in short bursts, and the brief tends to surface the posts that actually matter in your field rather than whatever the timeline happens to show.
It suits founders, investors and analysts who need to keep up with a market without living on X. Pick ten to twenty accounts at first, add topics rather than more people when the brief feels thin, and drop any account whose posts never make it into the summary.

Worked Example: Following the electric bike market
Example only: an illustration of how a session could go, not a real client, case or result.
- You give it 15 accounts of founders, reviewers and analysts in electric bikes.
- You add two topics: battery recalls and city bike lanes.
- Each morning you get a brief with five short points.
- One point links to a post about a new battery standard.
- You read that one post in full and skip the rest of the feed.
