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.
