Onebrief

Onebrief is a transformative software platform engineered to revolutionize military planning and execution. Built by a team of military veterans and tech industry experts, it replaces outdated, inefficient legacy tools like PowerPoint and Word with a unified, real-time, and AI-enabled environment. The platform is designed to accelerate the entire planning process, from initial ideation to final decision, enabling teams to operate at what they call "the speed of war." It provides a single source of truth, eliminating data silos and miscommunication, and is trusted by top-level organizations, including Geographic Combatant Commands and the National Security Council. Onebrief is live on secure networks, including SIPR and JWICS, ensuring the highest levels of data security and governance.

How to use Onebrief

Onebrief is designed for intuitive use, requiring minimal to zero training. The workflow is centered around a modular system of "Cards" and "Products."

1. Input Data with Cards: Users begin by inputting information into "Cards." Each card is a discrete piece of information, such as a task, a piece of intelligence, or a subparagraph of an order. This modular approach is the foundation of the platform's flexibility.
2. Build Products: These cards are then used as building blocks to create various "Products." The same card can be seamlessly integrated into a slide deck, a formal document, a timeline, or a map.
3. Collaborate in Real-Time: Team members can work on the same products simultaneously. Any change made to a card is instantly reflected everywhere that card is used, ensuring everyone is working with the most current information.
4. Leverage AI Assist: For complex problem-solving or rapid ideation, users can utilize the AI Assist feature to generate new plans, analyze scenarios, and complete tasks in seconds.
5. Integrate and Export: The platform is interoperable with existing systems. Users can import data from Word, PowerPoint, or Excel, and export their finished products as needed. The API allows for integration with other DoD data sources.

Core Features of Onebrief

• AI Assist: An integrated AI tool that helps users generate plans, solve unstructured problems, and accelerate the ideation phase, turning complex tasks into simple prompts.
• Real-Time Collaboration & Sync: Allows multiple users and commands to work on the same documents simultaneously. Updates are reflected instantly across all products and echelons, from national command to tactical units.
• Cards & Products System: A fundamental architecture where information is stored in flexible "Cards" that can be assembled into various products like slide decks, documents (OPLANs/OPORDs), interactive timelines, GIS maps, C2 charts, and whiteboards.
• Advanced Mapping: Professional GIS software capabilities are integrated, supporting multiple base maps, military symbols, coordinate systems, and reusable overlays, making high-quality map creation accessible to the entire staff.
• Interoperability & Open API: Seamlessly import and export information from Microsoft Office products and other formats. An open API allows for integration with external data sources, ensuring information is never locked in.
• High-Grade Security & Governance: Features robust permission and access controls, a complete audit log with version control, and FIPS 140-3 compliant encryption for data-in-transit and data-at-rest. It is operational on secure government networks like SIPR and JWICS.

Use Cases for Onebrief

Onebrief is specifically designed for complex, high-stakes planning environments within the defense and security sectors.

• Operational Planning (OPLANs): Used in the development of three of the four largest operational plans globally, drastically reducing the time and resources required.
• Military Exercises: Enables commands to plan and conduct large-scale exercises, simulating real-time information flow and coordination with allies and partners, completing months of work in days.
• Crisis Response: Accelerates decision cycles during time-sensitive crises by providing a common operational picture and facilitating rapid plan adjustments.
• Cross-Command Collaboration: Breaks down information silos between higher, adjacent, and supporting units, allowing for synchronized planning and execution.
• Briefing & Presentation: Quickly create and update slide decks and briefs for leadership. Since slides are built from live data, they are always current, saving hours of manual formatting.

Advantages of Onebrief

Onebrief offers a significant competitive edge over traditional methods.

• Speed & Efficiency: Users complete workflows at least twice as fast, turning days or weeks of planning into hours.
• Enhanced Collaboration: The real-time, single-source-of-truth environment eliminates version control issues and streamlines communication across teams and organizations.
• Intuitive Design: Built by planners for planners, the UI is so intuitive that it's compared to using an iPhone, requiring no formal training.
• Data-Driven Decisions: Powerful data visualization and analysis tools help planners identify trends and patterns, leading to more informed and accurate decisions.
• Resource Optimization: Reduces the need for large planning conferences and extensive manual labor, saving hundreds of person-hours and associated costs.
