Why Crux

Built for agencies that brief at scale.

Live competitive research built in

Before writing a single line, Crux scans your client's market. Competitor positioning, recent campaigns, industry benchmarks — already in the brief when you open it.

Every source type supported

Transcripts, Notion pages, Word docs, PDFs and text pastes. If it came from a client conversation, Crux can read it.

Team approval workflows

Submit for Creative Director review, approve, then send the brief to your full team with the PDF attached. One flow. No email chains.

Integrates with your stack

Push briefs to Notion, or export to PDF and Word. More integrations coming soon.

Built with agencies. Shaped by real briefs.

Crux is in early access. The brief types, research depth and export formats were designed around real agency workflows — not hypothetical ones. We're onboarding a small number of agencies now. If you brief clients for a living, we built this for you.
