Use case

Research library for writers

Writing requires deep research: articles to cite, quotes to reference, ideas to explore, and notes to organize. CapturedIt becomes your research library — everything saved, AI-summarized, and instantly searchable when you need that perfect quote or source.

The Problem

Research lives in bookmarks, PDFs, notes apps, and browser tabs. Finding that quote or fact you remember reading takes forever. Citation becomes a chore.

The Solution

One library for all research. AI extracts key points and makes everything searchable by concept, not just keyword. Query your sources from ChatGPT to help synthesize ideas.

How it works

1

Save sources as you read

Use the browser extension to save articles, papers, and reference materials with AI-generated summaries.

2

Capture quotes and ideas

Save text selections, screenshots of key passages, and voice memos of ideas that strike you.

3

Query while writing

Ask your library: "what did experts say about climate adaptation?" Get relevant quotes and sources instantly.

Key features

Quote extraction

AI identifies and extracts quotable passages from saved articles.

Source tracking

Every item preserves its original URL for proper attribution.

Semantic search

Find that quote about "economic inequality" even if the article used different words.

ChatGPT integration

Query your research library directly from ChatGPT with Vault.

Sample queries

Questions you can ask your library with AI (Pro+) or via ChatGPT/Claude (Vault):

Quotes about economic inequality from my research
What did the 2024 IPCC report say about adaptation?
All sources I saved on behavioral economics

Finding sources used to derail my writing. Now I just ask my library and keep writing.

FAQ

Can I export citations?
Not directly yet. You can export items with metadata and generate citations manually. Better citation support is planned.
Does it handle paywalled articles?
You can save the page while logged in, or capture selected text. We respect paywalls and do not bypass them.
Can I organize by project?
Yes. Use collections to organize research by article, book, or topic.
