What's New in Start Page HQ: AI Image Descriptions and Multi-Select

Two new features just landed in Start Page HQ, and both are about spending less time on housekeeping. Images you save to a Collection now name and describe themselves with AI, and the Links, Collection, and Notes widgets let you select multiple items at once to duplicate, move, or delete them in a single action.

#AI Titles and Descriptions for Collection Images

Until now, saving an image to a Collection widget left you with a placeholder name - something like photo_2x.jpg, or whatever the page it came from happened to be called. Fine for one image, useless for a mood board with thirty of them.

Now, every image you add gets looked at by AI the moment it lands in your collection. It writes a short, meaningful title and a one-line description of what the image actually shows, so your collection stays searchable and readable without you typing a thing.

Collection widget with AI-generated titles and descriptions under saved images

It works on every way an image can enter a collection:

  • Drag and drop a file from your device
  • Paste or drop an image URL into the widget
  • Add an image in the item dialog
  • Share from the browser extension while browsing the web

A few details worth knowing:

  • The AI-written title and description are just a starting point. Both are fully editable - right-click the item and choose Edit Item to change them.
  • It handles screenshots well, too - it reads the text in the image, so a saved screenshot gets a title that says what it is, not Screenshot 2026-08-18.png.
  • Each described image uses 1 AI credit. Every plan comes with credits, including the free plan.
  • It never gets in the way. If you are out of credits or the AI is unavailable, the image is saved normally, exactly as before.

#Multi-Select and Bulk Actions

Cleaning up a widget with 30 links used to mean 30 right-clicks. Not anymore. The Links, Collection, and Notes widgets now have a multi-select mode for acting on many items at once.

To start, right-click the widget (or any item in it) and choose Select Multiple. A checkbox appears on every item, and clicking an item toggles its selection.

Widget context menu with the Select Multiple option

With items selected, the With selected menu at the top of the widget gives you three actions:

  • Duplicate - copy all selected items in one go
  • Move to Widget - send them to any other widget of the same type, including widgets on other pages. Reorganizing a giant Links widget into several smaller ones takes seconds now.
  • Delete - remove them all at once, with a confirmation so a stray click never wipes your list

When you are done, any completed action exits selection mode automatically, or hit Cancel to leave without changes. It all works on mobile too - tap and hold to open the menu, then tap items to select them.

#Try It Out

Both features are live for everyone right now. Open your dashboard and drop an image into a Collection, or try Select Multiple on your busiest Links widget. Not using Start Page HQ yet? Start for free - the free plan includes the Links, Collection, and Notes widgets plus 50 AI credits to play with.

As always, a big part of the roadmap comes straight from user requests, and multi-select was one of the most asked-for features yet. Keep them coming.
