# Daily, Weekly and Monthly Brief

> Start your day with a short brief from Dvina, and look back on your week and your month the same way.

The Brief is Dvina's short story of what matters, told in a few scenes you watch one at a time. The Daily Brief opens your day. The Weekly Brief and the Monthly Brief look back on the week or the month that just ended.

## How it works

The first time you open Dvina each day, it writes your **Daily Brief** and brings it to your chat as a card. Dvina reads your recent days, the findings it kept for this morning and the cards you haven't opened yet, and tells you the few things that matter today, most important first. Each scene rests on its sources.

When Dvina has work ready for a scene, like a draft or a file, the scene shows it. Choose **Open** to go to it.

The last scene says what Dvina will bring next, under **Tomorrow**. On a day with nothing to tell, the card says **I have nothing to tell you today.** and there's nothing to play.

### Weekly and Monthly Brief

When a week ends, Dvina tells it as a story in a **Weekly Brief**: what the week was about, where it turned and what it leaves open. When a month ends, the **Monthly Brief** does the same for the month.

On the morning a week's or month's brief is ready, your Daily Brief can carry it on the same card. The card then says **First today, then your week.** (or your month), and the brief plays today first, then the week or the month.

## Watch a brief

1. In your chat, choose **Watch** on the brief's card.
2. Tap the right side of a scene to go on, or the left side to go back. On a computer, you can also use the arrow keys or the **Previous scene** and **Next scene** buttons.
3. At the end, choose **Done**.

Scenes move on by themselves after a moment. If you turn on reduced motion on your device, they wait until you tap.

If you stop in the middle, the card shows **Continue**, and the brief picks up where you left off. After you watch it, the card folds to one line; choose **Watch again** to see it again.

Dvina keeps track of what you watched on every device. If you watched a brief on another device, the card says so, for example **Watched on your phone**. A past day's brief you didn't open shows as one line, like **Monday's brief · not watched**, with **Watch**.

## Open the full report

A Weekly or Monthly Brief comes with a full written report.

- **In your chat:** On a weekly or monthly brief you've watched, choose **Full report**.
- **In Live Context:** Under **Briefs**, choose a week or a month. If its report is ready before its brief, choose **Read the report**.

The report opens in the side panel. It has sections like **What you missed**, **Key findings**, **Risks**, **Open topics and decisions** and **Up next**, and each item shows the sources it comes from.

When a report is ready on its own, a card in your chat says **Your weekly brief is ready** or **Your monthly brief is ready**. Choose **Open the brief** to read it.

## Find your briefs

Your briefs stay in your chat, on the day they came. [Live Context](/docs/use-dvina/features/context) also keeps them together under **Briefs**: the latest day, week and month first, then earlier weeks and months. Choose a brief, or its **Play the brief** button, to watch it.

## When to use

- You want to know what matters today in about a minute, before you open anything else.
- It's Monday and you want to see what last week was about and what it left open.
- You need the details behind a week or a month, with where each point came from.
