Content Idea Inbox

Capture ideas instantly from anywhere, let AI classify and route them to your reservoirs, and never lose a creative thought again.

What is the Content Idea Inbox?

The Content Idea Inbox is your central hub for capturing fleeting thoughts, inspirations, and content ideas. Using AI-powered classification, it automatically organizes your captures and routes them to the right reservoirs, transforming scattered notes into actionable content opportunities.

The Problem

  • • Great ideas come at inconvenient times
  • • Notes scattered across apps and devices
  • • Ideas captured but never acted upon
  • • Manual organization is tedious

The Solution

  • • Instant capture from anywhere (keyboard shortcut)
  • • AI classifies content type and themes
  • • Auto-routes to matching reservoirs
  • • Proactive digests keep ideas top-of-mind

Key Features

Quick Capture

Press Cmd+I (or Ctrl+I) anywhere in the admin panel to instantly capture an idea. No context switching, no interruption to your workflow.

Capture Methods:
  • Keyboard shortcut: Cmd+I / Ctrl+I from any admin page
  • Capture button: Click "+ Capture" in the inbox
  • Browser extension: Capture from any webpage
  • iOS Shortcuts: Voice capture on the go

AI Classification

Every captured idea is automatically analyzed by AI to extract meaning, identify themes, and suggest the best content formats.

Content Types
Blog, Tweet, LinkedIn, Newsletter
Keywords
Auto-extracted topics and tags
Urgency
Time-sensitive prioritization

Smart Routing

Ideas are automatically matched to your existing reservoirs based on themes, keywords, and content alignment. High-confidence matches can be auto-routed.

Routing Workflow:
  1. AI analyzes idea content and extracts themes
  2. System scores idea against all reservoirs (0-10)
  3. Best match is suggested with confidence score
  4. If score exceeds threshold, auto-route to reservoir
  5. Otherwise, hold for manual review

Cross-Site Routing

Multi-Site Users

For users with multiple sites, AI automatically determines which site(s) an idea belongs to. Capture once, and your idea appears in all relevant sites.

How It Works
  • • AI evaluates idea against each site's context
  • • Considers reservoir themes and keywords
  • • Creates copies in matching sites
  • • Links items with shared tracking ID
Visual Indicators
  • • "Multi-site" badge on cross-site items
  • • Confidence percentage for each site
  • • Single-site users see no change

Digest & Notifications

Proactive summaries keep your ideas top-of-mind. Daily digests highlight what to focus on, weekly reviews identify patterns and open loops.

Daily Digest
  • • AI-generated summary of recent captures
  • • "Today's Focus" with top action items
  • • Stats: captured vs routed counts
Weekly Review
  • • Pattern detection across captures
  • • Open loops identification
  • • Suggested focus areas
