Semantic search across saved Instagram and social feed captures

Scrolling is ephemeral. Operators who want semantic search across saved Instagram and social feed captures need a vault of posts — not screenshots in a folder — with meaning-based retrieval when a campaign brief shows up weeks later.

Switchboard Captures snapshots posts while you browse supported feeds, stores them locally (and optionally syncs fragments to the cloud), and lets you search by meaning with embeddings.

Capture while you work

• Open a logged-in Instagram, Threads, or other supported feed in Switchboard
• Use Captures in the right panel (auto-capture can run on a timer; MCP tools can trigger captures too)
• Deduped records keep username, content, and engagement context

You’re building a personal research index of the internet you actually watch.

Search that understands intent

Keyword search fails when you remember *“that quant thread about regime detection”* but not the handle. Embedding search matches ideas: strategy, tone, CTA patterns, niche jargon.

Use it to:

• Pull examples before Hot draft / Main Brain generation
• Audit what competitors said last month
• Brief a teammate with receipts, not vibes

Local-first, cloud-optional

Captures stay on your machine by default. Sign in and opt into cloud share if you want your fragments in the NOVAX crowd pool — the same pool that powers broader hot themes and Main Brain — while keeping the choice yours.

Start capturing

Download Switchboard, open Captures beside a live feed, and run a semantic query the next time you need proof for a draft. Details: Features → Captures.
