Multi-Content Collection
Collect from different sources, give all at once.
Scene
You’re about to give AI a brief. But the content is scattered:
- An article in Chrome
- A file in Drive
- A message in Mail
- A table in Excel
Copy-paste each one individually. 5 minutes.
Difference
Hit ⌥A (Option+A). Recording mode is active.
Now everything you copy gets added to the queue. Chrome, Drive, Mail, Excel… All of it.
When you’re done, give it all to AI at once.
