How Ideas works

Three shifts that make content stop stalling.

  • Pillar-tagged ideation pool

    Drop inspiration into Ideas. Tag by pillar or campaign. Monday morning becomes filtering a library, not staring at blank space.

  • Brand-Smart AI drafts

    AI briefed on your voice, pillars and audience. It drafts concepts that don't need a full rewrite before they're usable.

  • Pre-production approvals

    Get stakeholder sign-off on concepts before the shoot. Catch 'not quite' at the idea stage, not after the creative work.

Tell the AI who you are once. It remembers forever.

Brand-Smart AI gets briefed on your brand — not the internet. Connect your Brand Kit, feed it sample posts, and drafts sharpen as you publish more on-voice content.

See your strategy. Not just your schedule.

Visual pillar balance, campaign arcs, gap detection — Ideas shows you what's missing before it becomes a problem. Your strategy becomes visible before you build the calendar.

Ideas is the only workspace built for the part of social media planning every other tool ignores — what to make next .

Ideas that don't disappear into a Slack channel

Capture the idea. Ship the post.

The friction

Half your best content lives in someone's notes app .

Ideas surface in Slack threads, on calls, in lunch conversations — and disappear before they become posts. By Friday, no one remembers what was supposed to ship next week.

  • Most ideas die between Slack and the calendar
  • Friday-of-the-week surprises are content debt

From spark to scheduled, in one queue.

  • Capture from anywhere

    Drop a screenshot, a URL, a phrase, a voice memo. Sked Ideas inbox accepts whatever shape an idea arrives in.

  • AI finish-the-thought

    Brand-Smart AI suggests a headline, caption, hashtags, and visual concept in your tone — you edit.

  • Tag + assign

    Categorise ideas by campaign, channel, audience. Assign to a teammate. Filter the inbox by anything.

  • Convert to drafts

    One click turns an idea into a scheduled draft. The path from spark to feed is one queue, not three tools.

  • Per-brand inboxes

    Agencies: each client has its own ideas inbox. Strategists drop in; account managers pick up.

  • Search history

    Find that idea your CMO mentioned six months ago. Full-text search across the ideas archive.

  • Import from Notion, Sheets, Zapier

    Connect Notion, Google Sheets, Zapier and other tools to your Ideas inbox. Inspiration from anywhere lands in the right place — no copy-pasting between apps.

  • Pillar swimlane board

    Drag ideas into content pillar columns and see your strategy balance at a glance. Too much promotional, not enough education? The board shows you before you commit to the shoot.

From thumb-typed scribble in the school pickup line to scheduled-and-shipped — same workspace, no copy-paste tax .

Common questions

Questions about Ideas.

  • What counts as an idea in Sked?

    Anything that could become a post — a TikTok you saved, a customer comment, a campaign concept, a founder quote. Drop it in Ideas, tag it by pillar or campaign, and when someone's planning next month's calendar they're filtering a library instead of staring at blank space.

  • How does Brand-Smart AI learn my brand voice?

    Point Brand-Smart AI at your Brand Kit — tone, pillars, guidelines, sample posts. It extracts the patterns and drafts against them. Drafts sharpen as you publish more on-voice content.

  • Can stakeholders approve concepts before we shoot?

    Yes. Pre-production approvals route ideas through your review chain before the creative work starts — so the 'not quite' conversation happens at the concept stage, not after the shoot.

  • Which Sked plans include Ideas?

    Ideas ships on every paid plan from Basic up. Brand-Smart AI drafting lives on Grow and above with usage that scales with the plan.
