5-person Australian Alpha · updated 17 July 2026
Alpha Terms
These short terms apply to the free five-person Australian Alpha of Cat Brief.
Operator and Alpha location
Cat Brief is operated by You Zi Jia from China. “Australian Alpha” describes the intended audience and does not mean that Cat Brief is an Australian company, Australian public body or government service.
Free Alpha only
The Alpha is free. Applying does not guarantee selection. There is no automatic subscription, renewal, advertising purchase or payment. You can unsubscribe at any time, and the Alpha may change or stop without notice.
Invitation-only access
At least eight qualified applications are required before five people are selected. The five-person cohort is then frozen and participants are identified inside the Alpha only as CB-A01 to CB-A05. A private invitation is for the selected participant only and must not be published. A participant who does not play, withdraws or cannot be reached remains in the experiment denominator and is not replaced.
Founding Circle
Each episode may have one invitation-only discussion question. Selected participants may read and reply under their anonymous code. The operator may remove a response, close a discussion and export records for moderation and evaluation. The Alpha does not provide public registration, profiles, likes, private messages, points or channels.
Information, not professional advice
The briefing is general information about the AI industry. It is not legal, financial, security or procurement advice. Verify important claims with the linked primary sources before acting.
AI and accuracy
Research, drafting and narration are AI-assisted. Human review is used, but errors and omissions can remain. Vendor performance statements are not independent test results unless explicitly identified as such.
Acceptable use
Do not use the Alpha to violate law, interfere with the service, misrepresent affiliation, or redistribute the audio or site at scale. This Alpha does not accept user uploads or generated-news requests.
No warranty
The Alpha is provided as available for evaluation. To the extent permitted by law, no promise is made that it will be uninterrupted, complete or fit for a particular decision. Nothing here excludes rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
