The Idea Bank: Saving Ideas from Chat

Your Idea Bank is where post ideas live before you write them. It sits alongside your writing chat, so a passing thought in conversation can become a saved idea without leaving the chat.

Two ways to save an idea from chat

While you're chatting in a writing session, you can turn a tangent into a saved idea in two ways.

The @new idea chip

At the bottom of the chat you'll find the @new idea create-action chip. It saves the current thread of conversation as an idea in your Idea Bank.

Clicking the chip tells Wren to act on it directly. Wren reads the surrounding conversation, synthesizes a short title and a brief angle, and saves the idea.

Just ask

You don't need the chip. Plain language works too. Say things like:

• "Save that as an idea."
• "Add this to my idea bank."

Wren recognizes the request and creates the idea for you. It only does this when you ask, so it won't quietly save things while you're writing. Chat never creates a new post on its own — posts are created from the Posts table (or by promoting an idea), so drafts always land exactly where you expect.

What you get back

After a successful save, Wren shows an inline confirmation in the chat with a link to the new idea. Click it to open the item. The confirmation stays in the chat history, so it's still there if you reload the session later.

Idea statuses

Each idea in your Idea Bank carries a status that tracks where it stands:

• New — just captured, not yet looked at.
• Reviewed — you've considered it and want to keep it.
• Dismissed — set aside; you're not pursuing it.
• Written — you've turned it into a post.

You can move ideas between statuses as you triage your bank.

Reviewing and triaging ideas

Open the Ideas page to work through your bank as a table. Click any idea to open its panel, where you can:

• Write This — start a post draft from the idea and jump straight into the editor.
• Refine — open a live chat with Wren to develop the idea before you commit to writing.
• Dismiss — set the idea aside; the panel asks you for a reason.
• Set My Priority and Status, or edit the idea's details.

From the table toolbar you can sort by columns like title, status, priority, and created, filter by status or priority, and save a view to return to the same setup. Select multiple ideas to Delete them in bulk. To start one from scratch, the toolbar's New Idea button creates a blank idea and opens its panel.

How ideas feed your writing

The Idea Bank is the on-ramp to writing. When you're ready to write, you can start a session from an idea and carry its title and angle straight into the draft. Capturing ideas as they come means you always have a running list of things to write about, instead of staring at a blank page.

A good rhythm: capture freely with @new idea or a quick "save that," review your bank when you sit down to write, and promote the strongest idea into a post.
