Overview

Brief My Meeting is a meeting-preparation tool from the team behind Inbox Zero, the open-source email management app created by Elie Steinbock. It launched as its own product on Product Hunt on May 10, 2026, extending Inbox Zero's inbox-automation engine into pre-meeting research.

The tool connects to a user's calendar and inbox, then aggregates every email, document, and calendar event tied to a meeting's attendees, alongside LinkedIn profiles, company information, and role context. Around four hours before an external meeting, it emails a compiled brief, aiming to remove the manual work of searching an inbox and LinkedIn before a call. Because it is open source, teams can self-host it rather than trust a third party with calendar and email access.

The tool fits professionals with a heavy load of external meetings, such as sales reps, recruiters, and executives, more than people who mostly meet with existing teammates. Brief My Meeting costs $25 a month or $18 a month billed annually, with a 7-day free trial and no credit card required to start.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Open-source and self-hostable for teams wary of granting calendar and email access to a closed platform
  • Backed by an established team already running Inbox Zero, rather than an unproven first-time build
  • Automatic delivery timing (4 hours out) removes the need to remember to prep
  • Annual billing brings the effective price down to $18/month

Cons

  • Requires broad calendar and inbox access to function, a real privacy trade-off even with self-hosting available
  • No perpetual free tier, only a 7-day trial
  • As a newer spinoff product (2026), it has a shorter independent track record than the core Inbox Zero app
  • Built specifically around external meetings, so it adds less value for internal-only calendars
