Built to be trusted, and built to be extended
The same architecture decisions that keep your data isolated also make Briefant something you can build real integrations on top of.
Tenant isolation, enforced by the database
Every table that holds customer data has row-level security enabled directly on Postgres -- a query is scoped to your organization by the database itself, not by application code remembering to add a WHERE clause. A bug in application logic can't leak another organization's data, because the database won't return it.
Asynchronous processing pipeline
Transcription, frame extraction, and document generation happen off the request/response cycle -- you get an immediate response when you upload or start a bot, and the actual work runs as a background job you can watch progress on, rather than holding a connection open for minutes.
Role-based access control, enforced server-side
Every action -- viewing a project, inviting a teammate, changing billing, managing integrations -- is checked against a real permission catalog on every request, whether it came from the web app, the API, or an OAuth-connected application.
Built to be extended
A read-only public API for pulling your own data out, OAuth 2.0 applications for delegated third-party access, and signed outgoing webhooks for real-time events -- all three reuse the same permission system the web app itself runs on, so access never exceeds what a real user could already do.
Extensibility
Three real, working ways to connect Briefant to the rest of your stack.
Public API
Read-only endpoints to list your projects and pull the latest generated document for any of them.
Learn more →OAuth 2.0 applications
Register an application, and a member can grant it delegated access to their own permissions -- Authorization Code flow with PKCE, scoped to your organization.
Learn more →Outgoing webhooks
Get an HTTP POST, signed with HMAC-SHA256, when a project is created, a meeting finishes processing, or team membership changes.
