How Montage works
You describe a plan in a sentence. Montage searches the open web for real photographs and short video about it, keeps each source's credit, then arranges what it found into a board — places pinned on a map, days on a calendar, and live context like the forecast beside them.
1. You say what you are planning
One line is enough — "five days in Paris", "kitchen renovation", "Ferrari F40". Montage asks a few short questions only where the answer changes what it should look for, then shows you the plan it intends to build before it builds anything.
You can edit that proposal: change a section's title, swap what belongs in it, reorder it, or drop it. Nothing is sourced until the plan reads the way you want it.
2. It sources real material, with credit
Montage does not generate pictures of places that do not exist. It searches public sources for the real thing, keeps the link and the publisher for every frame, and rejects candidates that are duplicates, watermarked, or not actually about your subject.
Short video is embedded through each platform's own player, which is what the platforms ask for and what keeps a creator's view count theirs.
3. The board arranges itself around the subject
A montage is one board that holds the real material a plan needs: photographs and short clips sourced from the open web with their source kept, the places pinned on a map, the days laid out on a calendar, and live context beside them — the forecast where you are going, what people are saying about it, somewhere to eat nearby.
Widgets are chosen from what the montage is about rather than from a template: a trip gets a map and a forecast, a place gets restaurants nearby, a subject people argue about gets the threads where they argue about it.
4. It stays yours, and it stays live
Boards are private until you publish one. A published montage has a single address you can send to anyone, and the link previews with that montage's own title, description and lead image.
The live parts keep up: the forecast is today's, the threads are current, and a board can re-check its own sources on a schedule.
