Turn a LinkedIn profile into a one-page meeting brief with profilebrief.
profilebrief is for the five minutes before the call, interview, or intro meeting when you need context fast. Paste a LinkedIn profile, job post, speaker bio, company page, or your own notes, and it turns the input into a printable one-page brief: quick read, talking points, questions to ask, and after-meeting notes. It runs locally, keeps the text in your browser, and gets you from paste to brief before a manual ChatGPT loop would even finish its second prompt.
Install profilebrief if you prep for recruiter calls, sales intros, founder meetings, job interviews, or client sessions and you want the prep artifact to stay one page instead of living in three tabs and a half-finished prompt.
What profilebrief replaces
Notion, docs, and snippets are fine when the job is longform storage. They become clumsy when the job is fast recall. If you have ten minutes before the meeting, you do not want another note hierarchy. You want the useful bits pulled into a short brief that you can read once, mark up, and bring into the room.
Manual ChatGPT prep also works, but it costs you a copy-paste loop every single time. profilebrief removes the extra prompting and formatting round. That is the whole point: a shorter path to the first useful version.
