## What it is
Briefer is a self-hostable web application combining Notion-like notebooks and dashboards for data analysis, supporting Markdown, Python, SQL, and native visualizations. It offers multiplayer editing, scheduled runs, interactive data apps, and AI-assisted code generation connected to databases like PostgreSQL and BigQuery.

## Use cases
- build dashboards from postgres data
- create sql and python notebooks for data analysis
- share interactive reports with my team
- schedule notebooks to refresh dashboards periodically
- generate sql queries with ai from my database schema
- build data apps with dropdowns and date pickers
- self-hosted alternative to notion for data notebooks

## When to choose
- you want notebooks and dashboards in one collaborative tool
- your team mixes technical and non-technical users
- you need scheduled, self-hosted reporting on postgres or bigquery
- you want AI-assisted query and code generation

## When to avoid
- you need a lightweight embedded charting library
- you require a permissive license (AGPL-3.0)
- you need deep programmatic extensibility beyond notebooks
- you want a fully managed BI suite with enterprise support

## Facets
