Overview

CaptureFlow is built around three simple building blocks. Once you know how they relate, the whole app makes sense.

Ideas

An Idea is something you want to create content about, a topic or prompt. Ideas come from your content strategy or you can add your own. Think of an Idea as the plan for a post.

Inputs

An Input is your raw material: a video or voice recording, an uploaded file, a link, or typed text. It is the source CaptureFlow turns into content. One Idea can lead to one or more Inputs.

Posts

A Post is the finished, publish-ready content your Content Agent creates from an Input. A single Input can produce several Posts in different formats.

Note: The flow is simple: an Idea guides what you capture, your capture becomes an Input, and your Input becomes one or more Posts.

Key terms

  • Capture: the act of bringing in raw material (record, upload, paste or dictate).
  • Content Agent: the AI that turns your Inputs into Posts and edits them on request.
  • Pillar: a theme in your content strategy that a post belongs to.
  • Format: the shape of a post, for example a text post, a carousel or a video short.
  • Variant: one of several versions of a post the agent drafts so you can pick the best.
  • Render: building the final video file with your captions and branding.
  • Draft: a saved post that is not scheduled or published yet.
