What is Brillix?
Brillix answers questions from the live web and shows you how much of each answer you can trust. Every answer comes with its sources, and Truth Mode marks each claim as sourced, inferred or disputed, so you can see what is backed and what is not before you rely on it.
Beyond answers, Brillix can do work for you. Cortex plans and carries out jobs such as research briefs, reports and websites. Envision makes pictures, designs and print-ready apparel. Connections let Brillix read your mail, calendar and files when you ask, and scheduled tasks run a request for you on a timetable and email you the result.
Answers with sources
Live web search on every question, with numbered citations you can open and check.
Truth Mode
Every claim is marked sourced, inferred or disputed, and sourced claims are checked against the page they cite.
Cortex
Describe a job and Brillix plans it, does it and shows you the finished result with a short write-up.
Memory you control
Brillix learns about you from your chats. You can see everything it has kept and remove any of it.
How It Works
When you ask a question, Brillix searches the web, reads the pages it finds, and writes one answer from them. Each statement that comes from a page carries a numbered citation pointing to that page.
Before the answer reaches you, Truth Mode goes through it claim by claim. A claim that cites a page is checked against that page: if the page says it, the claim stays marked as sourced and you can see the exact words found; if the page does not say it, the claim is marked as inferred instead, so it can no longer pass as sourced.
An answer that sounds confident is not the same as an answer that is backed. Brillix shows you the difference on every claim, so you decide what to rely on.
Model Access
Brillix is building its own foundation model. While that work is in progress, the Model picker in the composer lets you route a question to an established outside model instead of Brillix's default writer, which is useful when you want a specific model's style or strengths for one answer.
Without signing in, answers come from Brillix's default writer. Signed-in free accounts can also pick some outside models, and paid plans unlock the rest; any you can't pick yet show a lock in the picker. Whichever one answers, Truth Mode, sourcing and citations work the same way.
Chat, Cortex and Envision
The switch on the home page moves between Brillix's three sides.
Chat is where you ask questions. The Search menu in the composer sets how hard Brillix looks before it answers: Quick, Balanced or Rigorous. After an answer you can ask a follow-up, retry, search the web again, download the answer as a PDF or share it.
Cortex
Cortex is for jobs that take more than one answer. You describe what you want, Brillix plans the steps, carries them out, checks the result and keeps a record of what it did.
| Job | What you get |
|---|---|
| Research brief | Searches the web and Brillix's research library, then writes a short brief with sources |
| Report for your Library | Researches your question and files a finished report in your Library |
| Website or app | Plans, builds and checks a website or app, shows a live preview and saves every version |
| Answer from your mail and calendar | Answers from your connected mail and upcoming events, quoting the exact words it relied on; it only reads |
When a job finishes, its page leads with the result itself: the written text, a preview of the site, or the files. Under it is a short summary of what was made, anything that needs your attention and suggested next steps, with the step-by-step record folded away below.
Cortex needs you to be signed in and is opening to accounts in stages. If it is not open for your account yet, the Cortex page says so.
Envision
Envision is Brillix's picture studio. It makes pictures, designs and print-ready apparel: describe what you want, pick a style chip such as Apparel or Design, and Brillix draws it. Everything you make is kept in your Library.
Bix, your art director
On the Envision side of the Chat, Cortex and Envision switch, Bix works as your art director. He helps you say what you want, sketches cheaply before he spends your money, checks work the way a print shop would, and tells you plainly when something is off. He only appears on Envision. You can hide him from the small strip under the prompt bar, and bring him back from the same place.
Prompt coach
While you type, Bix may offer one or two quick taps. Type "a skull for a streetwear t-shirt" and he suggests the Apparel chip, which makes print-ready art on a clear background. Write "a poster that says OPEN MIC" and he points you to Design, which sets your words exactly as typed. He waits until you pause, never repeats a tip, and rests for a while after you dismiss one.
Sketch first
If you would rather not pay for a full picture until you like the idea, ask for four quick drafts. They are small and cheap. Pick the one you like and Bix makes it properly from it.
Print check
For tee and sticker designs, each design gets a checklist before it goes anywhere near a printer: the slogan is spelled right, there is clear space round the edges, the background is see-through, the number of colours is sensible for screen printing, the picture is sharp enough at the print size, stickers have a clean white cut border, and the art still reads when it is small. Each line says pass, look at it, or fix it, and where a fix exists there is a button for it.
Critique and fix it
After a careful picture is made, Bix looks at it and says in one line what is off, for example that a letter in a word looks garbled or a hand looks odd. Tap Fix it and he changes just that. When he made two versions, he tells you which one he would pick and why.
Brand memory
Save your brand colours, characters and footer once. Bix then notices when a result drifts from them, such as a red that is lighter than your brand red or a footer that is missing, and offers to open your brand kit.
A fresh start
On an empty page Bix says hello with an idea based on what is already in your Library and your brand.
Plans and floor plans are concept drawings to explore ideas with. They are not engineered or permit-ready. If you reach the day's limit, Bix says so and it resets tomorrow.
Truth Mode
Truth Mode is how Brillix handles the difference between what a source says, what is reasoned from it, and what is contested, without making everything feel like a legal disclaimer. Each claim in an answer gets a coloured dot; click one to see the source behind it.
| Mark | What it means |
|---|---|
| ✓ Sourced | A cited page states it. Where Brillix found the exact words on that page, it shows them. |
| ~ Inferred | Reasoned from the sources rather than stated by one, or a cited page that turned out not to say it. |
| ! Disputed | Sources disagree. Click the dot to see both accounts, and the answer says how many points are in dispute. |
Truth Mode is on for every question. If you ever want answers without it, the switch is in Settings, under General.
Sources & Research
Every question runs a live web search alongside the answer. Sources are shown with the answer, numbered and linked, not buried or hidden behind it. Hover over a source chip to see the source's name, its title and an excerpt from the page.
For a deeper look, set the Search menu to Rigorous, or give the question to Cortex as a research brief or a report for your Library.
After most answers, Brillix suggests related questions drawn from what you just asked, pointing toward natural next steps. Tap one to ask it.
Memory
Brillix learns about you from your chats and remembers it across conversations and devices, so you don't have to repeat your background every time. Memory is on until you turn it off.
See what it knows
Settings, then Memory, lists everything Brillix has kept about you and whether you told it or it picked it up.
Tell it directly
Type something in the Memory tab and press Remember to add it yourself.
Forget anything
Remove a single item, or use Forget everything to clear it all. You can also switch Memory off.
Custom instructions
Under Settings, then Personalization, tell Brillix what to know about you and how it should respond.
Connections
Connections let Brillix read your tools when you ask, and its answers quote the exact words it found there. Mail, calendars, files and work tools such as Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Outlook, OneDrive, iCloud, GitHub, Slack, Notion, Linear, HubSpot and Shopify are among those that can be connected, depending on what is set up. The Connections page shows which ones can be connected now; for everything else you can ask, and requests decide what gets connected next.
Connections are read only. Before you connect a tool you see exactly what Brillix can read and what it won't do. For mail and calendars you can choose to let Brillix save a draft, send one message or add one event, and it asks you to say yes each time. Every use is listed under Yours on the Connections page, and you can disconnect at any time.
Connecting tools is part of the paid plans: Plus 2, Pro 5 and Max 10 connections.
Scheduled Tasks
Tell Brillix once what you want and when, and it runs the request on that schedule and emails you the result, daily or less often. Open Scheduled tasks from the sidebar to add, pause or delete one, and to see recent runs.
Scheduled tasks are part of the paid plans. The number of active tasks you can have is Plus 3, Pro 10 and Max 25.
Projects & Library
Projects
Group related chats under a name and a short description, so the work on one topic stays together. Create one from the sidebar or from the + menu in the composer.
Library
One place for everything made in your account: pictures from Envision, reports from Cortex and your documents. Star what you want to keep close.
Sharing
Use Share on an answer to choose who can see the conversation: only you, or anyone with the link. A shared link shows the chat as it was when you shared it, without your name or email, and needs no sign-in to read. Use Update with new messages to add later replies, or switch back to Only you to turn the link off.
Files, Pictures & Voice
The + button in the composer lets you upload pictures and PDFs or take a picture with your camera, then ask about them. The microphone button dictates into the composer, and when the box is empty the round button beside it starts the voice assistant, which answers out loud. You can pick the assistant's voice in Settings, under General.
Open Information
Most AI products make a choice you never see: they decide what you should believe before they answer. Questions with contested answers get smoothed into a consensus. Alternative perspectives get omitted. The AI acts as a filter on reality rather than a window into it.
Brillix works differently. On a contested subject it lays out both accounts and what they disagree about, presents each fairly, gives its own weighing clearly labelled as its own, and leaves the conclusion to you.
Ask about a subject such as the moon landing or UFOs and the answer has the same shape every time: a short summary naming the two accounts, the alternative theory, the scientific account, Brillix's own weighing, and then: you decide. Nothing in the answer calls either side a conspiracy.
Brillix's job is to give you the information to think with, not to think for you. An AI that steers you toward predetermined conclusions, even well-intentioned ones, is less useful than one that shows you the full picture and trusts you to reason through it.
Privacy & Data
Your conversations, memory and connections belong to your account and are not shown to other people unless you share a chat. You decide how your data is used from Settings.
| Setting | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Memory | Settings, Memory | See, add to or clear what Brillix remembers about you, or switch it off |
| Improve Brillix for everyone | Settings, Data controls | On unless you turn it off; lets your questions be used to improve Brillix's answers |
| Share how work gets done | Settings, Data controls | Shares patterns, never your words, to help Brillix route requests better |
| Export data | Settings, Data controls | Download a copy of the data Brillix holds about you |
| Delete all chats | Settings, General | Removes your chats from your account as soon as you confirm; erasing them from our systems completes within 30 days, and you get an email when it is done |
Connected tools are read only unless you allow more, and every look Brillix takes is listed under Yours on the Connections page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Brillix different from other AI assistants?
Brillix shows its work. Every answer is sourced from the live web, every claim is marked sourced, inferred or disputed, and sourced claims are checked against the page they cite. Beyond answers, Cortex carries out whole jobs and shows you the finished result.
Can Brillix make mistakes?
Yes. All AI systems can be wrong. Truth Mode is designed to surface uncertainty rather than hide it, so a claim no source backs is marked inferred, and points where sources disagree are marked disputed. We think visible uncertainty is more useful than false confidence.
Can I turn Truth Mode off?
Truth Mode is on for every question. The only switch for it is in Settings, under General.
How do I clear my memory?
Open Settings and choose Memory. You can see everything Brillix has learned about you, remove any single item, or use Forget everything to clear it all.
Which plans include scheduled tasks and connections?
Both are part of the paid plans. Active scheduled tasks: Plus 3, Pro 10, Max 25. Connected tools: Plus 2, Pro 5, Max 10. The Plans page has the full comparison.
