The AI workspace for your TikToks and Reels

Short-form video has become one of the richest sources of ideas, tutorials, trends, and references on the internet. A 60-second TikTok explains a technique better than a ten-minute article. A Reel shows a design trend before it appears anywhere else. A creator shares a framework, a recipe, a workflow, a product demo, a marketing tactic in a format that's immediate and memorable. And then the algorithm moves on. The video sinks below a thousand new ones. You saved it to your favourites, maybe, but TikTok and Instagram favourites are unsearchable scrolls that grow faster than you can revisit them. The creator might delete the post. The account might go private. The content that was brilliant at 9am is effectively gone by 9pm.

Fabric saves TikToks and Reels with their content intact, transcribes the spoken words, and makes everything searchable by meaning. The short-form video you found is preserved, findable, and connected to the rest of your knowledge.

Save before it disappears

Short-form video is the most ephemeral content on the internet. Creators delete posts, accounts go private, platforms change algorithms, and the content you saw yesterday is unreachable today. In-app favourites and saves offer no protection: if the original post is gone, so is your save.

Share any TikTok or Reel to Fabric from your phone's share sheet via the mobile app. The content is captured in your library. On desktop, save with the web clipper. The saved version is permanent regardless of what happens on the platform. The creator can delete the post. Your saved version persists.

The save takes seconds. One share from TikTok or Instagram and it's in your library. Close the app and keep scrolling knowing the good ones are captured.

Transcribed and searchable by meaning

A saved video is useless if you can't find it. In-app favourites are ordered by when you saved them, which is useless after fifty saves. You remember "the one about pricing strategy for creators" but not who made it or when you saved it.

Fabric's audio and video transcription turns the spoken content of every saved TikTok and Reel into searchable text. The creator's explanation, tutorial, or commentary is transcribed and indexed.

AI search reads every transcript and searches by meaning. Ask "the TikTok about email subject line copywriting" or "the Reel with the Procreate brush technique" and find the video by what was said or shown, not by when you saved it or who posted it. The search works across every saved video alongside your notes, articles, and other content.

Ask the AI about what you've saved

The AI assistant treats your saved TikToks and Reels as a queryable collection. Ask it to summarise a video, pull together every tutorial you've saved on a topic, compare techniques from different creators, or find the specific tip from the specific video across months of saves.

For content creators researching trends, this is powerful. Ask "what are the common patterns in the viral marketing TikToks I've saved" and the assistant synthesises across your collection. For anyone using short-form video as a learning tool, it turns a scroll of favourites into a searchable library of techniques and ideas.

Organised by content, not by scroll position

In-app saves are a reverse-chronological list with no categories, no tags, and no search. Your favourite cooking tutorial sits next to a design tip sits next to a workout routine sits next to a marketing tactic, all in one undifferentiated scroll.

Smart organization automatically tags and categorises saved videos by their content. Design content groups with design material. Marketing videos cluster with marketing references. Tutorials sort by topic. The organisation happens without you creating playlists or folders.

The explorer gives you a spatial view of your saved short-form content, showing topic clusters. Browse by what the videos are about rather than when you saved them.

Connected to your other research and inspiration

A saved TikTok in the TikTok app is disconnected from everything else you know. The marketing tactic from a Reel has no connection to the marketing strategy you're developing. The design trend from a TikTok doesn't link to the moodboard you're building.

In Fabric, saved TikToks and Reels live alongside your articles, notes, images, documents, and every other content type. The marketing TikTok is searchable alongside the marketing strategy doc. The design Reel connects to the moodboard references. The cooking tutorial sits next to the recipe notes you've written.

Arrange saved videos on the canvas alongside still images and notes to build reference boards and moodboards. Plan content by laying out trend references and inspiration spatially. The short-form content feeds the same creative workspace as everything else.

Annotate and capture your own thinking

The value of a saved video is often in what it makes you think, not just what it shows. Annotations let you add notes to saved videos: what technique to try, how it applies to your project, what to adapt for your audience. The notes are searchable alongside the video content.

Write longer reflections in notes and docs. Develop a creator's idea into your own approach. Use a saved TikTok as the starting point for a content piece, a strategy, or a project. The video and your thinking about it stay connected.
