# Smart Collections: Auto-Organize Your Content in Cache

> Smart Collections use AI to automatically sort your saves into organized, shareable groups — separating actionable items from pure inspiration.

Smart Collections are Cache's AI-powered answer to the eternal bookmark mess. Instead of asking you to manually tag every save or drag links into folders, Cache reads each piece of content you add and automatically places it into the collections where it belongs. The result is a Library that organizes itself — so you spend time reading and acting on your saves, not filing them.

## How Smart Collections work

When you save something, Cache's AI analyzes the full content of the page — not just the title or URL. It looks at the subject matter, the format, the tone, and how it relates to everything else in your Library. Within moments, each save is routed to the most appropriate Smart Collection.

You don't need to create tags, define rules, or train the system. Cache learns the shape of your Library from the content itself and refines its groupings over time as you add more saves. If you ever disagree with where something landed, you can move it manually and Cache will factor that signal into future sorting.

## Types of collections

Cache's AI distinguishes between two broad modes of content — **actionable** and **inspirational** — and builds collections around them accordingly:

| Type              | What it means                                      | Example collections                                                  |
| ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Actionable**    | Content with a clear next step or task attached    | Reading list, tutorials to follow, tools to try, research references |
| **Inspirational** | Content that sparks ideas without a specific to-do | Design ideas, writing inspiration, long-form essays, mood boards     |

Within those modes, Smart Collections get more specific. You might find Cache has created a "CSS Techniques" collection from your frontend saves, a "Business Strategy" collection from your long-reads, or a "Recipes to Make" collection from your food bookmarks — without you ever defining those categories yourself.

## Sharing and exporting

Every Smart Collection — and any manual collection you create — can be shared or exported at any time.

* **Share a link.** Open the collection menu (the `···` icon on any collection) and choose **Share**. Cache generates a public link that anyone can view, even without a Cache account.
* **Export.** Choose **Export** from the same menu to download your collection as a structured file. Exports are useful for backing up research, handing references off to a collaborator, or moving content into another tool.

Both options are available on every collection, including automatically generated Smart Collections.

## Creating a collection manually

Smart Collections handle most of the organizing automatically, but you can also build collections by hand whenever you want to curate something specific — a project brief, a reading list for a trip, or a reference set for a client.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open your Library">
    Navigate to your Library from the left sidebar. Make sure you're on the main feed view, not inside an existing collection.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click New Collection">
    Select the **New Collection** button in the top-right corner of the Library. A creation panel will slide open.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name your collection and add a description">
    Give your collection a clear, memorable name. Optionally add a short description — this helps Cache understand the collection's purpose and improves how it routes future saves into it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add saves">
    Browse your feed to find content you want to include and click **Add to Collection**, or use the search bar inside the collection panel to find specific saves by keyword, source, or tag.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Share or export">
    Once your collection is ready, open the collection menu (`···`) to grab a shareable link or export the contents — no extra steps required.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Let Smart Collections run first before you start organizing manually. Cache begins sorting your saves automatically 24 seconds after import — you may find most of your content is already grouped exactly the way you'd want it.
