The AI-native product document.
A brief is the central document for any project — capturing goals, requirements, and context in one place. Write it once, and every plan, task, and agent run derives from it.
Writing
A full editor, with AI built in.
Write in a rich document editor with real-time AI assistance in the side panel. Ask questions, request rewrites, or let the AI expand a rough idea into a full brief section. Collaborative cursors show your teammates working alongside you. A version history timeline tracks every saved state — compare any two versions with a structural diff and restore with one click.
Context
Attach everything the AI needs.
Drop in files, paste URLs, or link documents from Google Drive or Notion. Hamster fetches and indexes every attachment server-side — so when you ask a question or generate a plan, the AI is working from the full text of your actual research, not a blank slate.
Alignment
Know when the team is aligned.
The activity timeline shows who has reviewed the brief, who has raised concerns, and how readiness is tracking across the team. Alignment happens in the brief — not in a separate meeting or Slack thread.
