Swiftask connects your Are.na boards to an AI capable of analyzing, classifying, and summarizing your findings in real time.
Result:
Stop losing ideas in your channels. Turn your creative research into a structured knowledge base without the effort.
Information overload in your Are.na channels
You use Are.na to collect references, images, and links. But as your channels grow, information becomes hard to leverage. You accumulate disconnected blocks, losing the big picture of your research.
Main negative impacts:
Swiftask acts as an intelligent research assistant. It scans your new Are.na blocks, extracts their essence, categorizes them, and generates thematic syntheses to turn your collections into structured knowledge.
BEFORE / AFTER
What changes with Swiftask
Manual research
You add blocks to Are.na. You have to open each item, write down key ideas in a separate doc, and try to make connections manually. Eventually, you stop sorting, and your channels become forgotten archives.
Swiftask automation
As soon as a new block is added to your channel, the Swiftask agent processes it. It identifies themes, enriches metadata, and produces a weekly summary or a mind map of your ideas, ready to use.
Deploying your AI synthesis in 4 phases
STEP 1 : Linking your Are.na account
Connect Swiftask to Are.na via secure authentication to allow our agents read-only access to your channels.
STEP 2 : Defining synthesis goals
Tell your agent what to look for: recurring themes, link summaries, or extraction of specific quotes.
STEP 3 : Activating the analysis engine
Configure the analysis frequency: real-time, daily, or upon project completion on a specific channel.
STEP 4 : Delivering insights
Receive generated syntheses directly in your workflow tools or as an automated report within Swiftask.
Swiftask agent processing capabilities
The agent analyzes the semantic content of images, link text, and associated comments in Are.na to understand the relationship between blocks.
Each action is contextualized and executed automatically at the right time.
Each Swiftask agent uses a dedicated identity (e.g. agent-are.na@swiftask.ai ). You keep full visibility on every action and every sent message.
Key takeaway: The agent automates repetitive decisions and leaves high-value actions to your teams.
Why automate your synthesis
1. Creative time saving
Dedicate your energy to research and creation rather than tedious archiving and sorting.
2. Unexpected connections
The AI spots links between your blocks that you might not have noticed yourself.
3. Living knowledge base
Turn your static collections into an intelligent, constantly updated knowledge library.
4. Decision clarity
Make decisions based on clear syntheses of your research, backed by original sources.
5. Custom format
Adapt the form of the syntheses to your needs: lists, paragraphs, or structured dashboards.
Privacy of your research
Swiftask applies enterprise-grade security standards for your are.na automations.
