What is changebrief? Monitor regulations without drowning in email
Compliance teams don't need more pixel-diff screenshots. They need to know what changed in plain English. Here's what changebrief does differently.
If you work in compliance, you already have a list of regulatory websites you should be checking. Finansinspektionen. IMY. ESMA. EDPB. Your national environment agency. Your national food safety authority. Your trade association.
And you almost never check them on time.
The problem isn’t that these sites are hard to find. It’s that visiting them is thankless work: 99 times out of 100, nothing has changed. The one time something has, it’s buried between three press releases, a conference invitation, and a PDF that links to another PDF.
That’s the job changebrief exists to do.
What we actually do
You add the pages you care about. We check them every six hours. When something changes, we use AI vision to tell you what changed — not just that something changed.
Example notification:
Finansinspektionen — New guidance published (2026-04-10)
FI published new guidance on DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act). Addresses ICT risk management, incident reporting, and operational resilience testing for Swedish banks and investment firms. Document type: guidance. Jurisdiction: SE. Action: review recommended.
That’s the whole notification. One sentence tells you what to look at. Four metadata fields tell you whether it’s urgent, who it applies to, and whether you need to do something.
Compare that to the traditional pixel-diff tools: they show you a red box on a screenshot and leave you to squint.
Who this is for
- In-house compliance officers in finance, insurance, healthcare, or pharma who need to watch their regulator without adding another full-time job.
- Data protection officers tracking IMY, EDPB, and EU AI Act guidance.
- Law firms that monitor regulatory developments as a billable service for clients.
- ISO consultants who do Swedish lagbevakning for multiple clients and need a scalable way to watch 20+ agency sites.
- Environmental teams tracking Naturvårdsverket, Kemikalieinspektionen, or the EU environment directorate.
What’s different
Three things set changebrief apart from traditional regulatory monitoring tools:
- We watch the source. Not a legal database that updates days later — the actual agency website where the change appears first.
- AI classifies every change. Jurisdiction, document type, compliance action, importance score — all inferred in seconds. No waiting for a lawyer to write a summary.
- We’re API-first. Slack, Teams, email, RSS, webhooks, CSV. Not a closed portal you have to log into.
