Capture

Capture is the inbox for everything that might become content. The goal: zero friction between "I just thought of something" and "it's safely in the system."

Ways in

• Write or paste. The classic quick note — title optional, tags optional. Paste a URL and Amplifier scrapes the page into the capture body for you.
• Bulk import. Point Amplifier at an RSS feed and it imports every entry as its own capture, with live progress as the import runs.
• Crystallize. A guided AI interview — in chat or out loud. Crystallize asks follow-up questions until a vague hunch becomes a concrete, structured idea. Sessions are resumable, so you can walk away mid-interview.
• Voice memo. Record a standalone memo; Whisper transcribes it into a capture automatically.
• Email it in. Every workspace gets its own address — Email it in on the Captures page shows yours. Forward a newsletter, an article, or a thought from your phone and it lands in the inbox: subject as the title, body as the note.
• From a comment. Anything in your Engage inbox can be promoted into a capture, so questions your audience is already asking become your next post.

Keeping your email address yours

The emailed-in address is a key: anyone holding it could write to your inbox. So by default Amplifier only accepts mail sent from an address belonging to a member of this workspace. Forwarding from somewhere else? Switch that off in the same dialog. Address ended up somewhere public? Issue a new address — the old one stops working straight away, and everything already captured stays put.

Working the inbox

Captures move through four statuses: Inbox (new), For review (needs a decision), Processed (became content), and Archived. Use the list view for triage, the board view for a kanban-style overview, and the review queue to burn through "for review" items one at a time.

Tags — yours and the AI's

Tags are how captures cluster into themes. When a capture lands with enough content, Amplifier suggests tags as one-tap chips on the detail page — accept or dismiss each one. The AI never applies a tag without you confirming it.

From capture to composition

Any capture can be promoted to a draft composition with one click — or select several in the inbox and use Draft compositions to fan them all out at once. Each capture flips to Processed and the drafting runs in the background; you'll get a notification as each draft is ready.
