Discovery Brief

Discovery calls hold everything.Briefs lose half of it.

Briefpad joins your discovery call, transcribes every word, and hands your developers a structured brief — complete with a ready-to-use Claude Code prompt. No debrief meetings. Nothing lost in the handoff.

How it works

Four steps from call to build

1

Fill the pre-call form

A two-minute form gives Briefpad context on the client and the project before the call even starts.

2

The bot joins your call

Briefpad sits silently in your discovery call, recording and transcribing every word as it happens.

3

AI writes the brief

The moment the call ends, the transcript becomes a structured, consistent 13-section brief.

4

Developers build

Your team gets a dashboard notification with the brief and a ready-to-use Claude Code prompt.

What the brief contains

Thirteen sections. Every call. Every time.

Every brief follows the same structure, so your developers always know exactly where to look — and the build can begin the moment they open it.

Built for AI

Vague briefs make vague code

AI-powered developers live and die by the quality of their input. Briefpad produces exactly the structured, detailed input that tools like Claude Code need to perform at their best.

Every brief ends with a starter prompt — three to five sentences capturing the business, the key requirements, the design direction and the technical needs, formatted for Claude Code. Your developer pastes it in and starts building immediately.

Claude Code starter prompt
Build a website for a boutique fitness
studio in Bristol. Five pages: Home,

The priority is class bookings — embed a
scheduler with per-class capacity limits.
Clean, energetic, premium feel. Logo and
colours exist; copy needs writing.

Mobile-first, fast, optimised for local

The impact

Hours of admin, gone

At ten clients a month, agencies lose 10–20 hours of developer time to debriefs, recording reviews and brief-writing before a line of code is written. Briefpad removes that entire layer.

Before Briefpad

  • Caller and developer arrange a debrief
  • Developer re-watches the call recording
  • Notes written up into a brief by hand
  • Back-and-forth to clarify what was said
  • Build drifts; revisions pile up

1–2 hours lost per client. High risk of information loss.

After Briefpad

  • Caller fills a two-minute form
  • The call happens as normal
  • Brief lands in the dashboard automatically
  • Developer pastes the prompt and builds
  • Nothing lost between call and build

5–7 minutes per client. Near-zero information loss.

1–2 hrs

saved per client before a build even starts

10–20 hrs

of developer admin saved each month

~0

detail lost between the call and the build

Your savings

Do the maths.

Every discovery call is a brief Briefpad writes for you — saving your developers the debrief, the recording review and the write-up. Drag to your call volume.

hours saved / month

3.8

That’s 5–7 minutes per brief with Briefpad, instead of 1–2 hours of admin by hand — before a single line of code.
