Quick start

You do not need a complete creation system configured before you start. Finish the desktop install, connect the browser, and run one real capture — that proves the core data path is working.

What you need

• A computer running macOS, Windows, or Linux.
• Chrome or Edge.
• A Beav workspace you plan to keep using.

Finish the desktop install

Go to the Beav download page and pick the package that matches your computer. After the first launch, create or choose a workspace. Workspaces are best divided by account, client, niche, or long-term project.

Full steps: Install Beav.

Connect your browser

Installing the Beav browser extension from the Chrome Web Store is recommended: the browser handles installation and every later update. When the store is not available, download the ZIP and load the unzipped folder that contains manifest.json manually in Chrome or Edge.

Full steps: Install the browser extension.

Save your first page

Open a regular web page and save it from the Beav side panel. Back in Beav, check the knowledge base for the page title, the source link, and the body text.

If the page is saved, the core path is done. Next try Xiaohongshu notes, comment sections, YouTube videos, images, and selected text. Full steps: First capture.

Keep creating

Keep several related sources in the same workspace and let Beav plan topics and Task Briefs from real content, then generate a post, a video script, a voiceover script, or a cover brief. The complete method: From capture to draft.
