# What's Amber?

> Overview of Amber's capabilities

Amber is a distraction-free writing workspace with open file storage, a built-in copilot, and powerful organization tools.

## Amber Copilot

**Optional. You stay in control.** Amber Copilot helps you write better. It never writes for you. No auto-complete pushing you aside, no takeover. Just support when you want it.
