Flowtica Scribe is an AI-powered pen that records audio and lets you highlight key moments with a simple button press. It then generates structured, personalized notes focused on what you decided was important.
Many of you know me as a hunter on PH, but I've often been asked: "Zac, what are you actually building?" Today, I'm proud to introduce myself as a maker and share the product my team and I have poured our hearts into for the past year: Flowtica Scribe.✍️
It's a pen, literally. You've probably heard the joke: "sell me this pen." "It's an AI pen." I'm here to say, it's not a joke. Let me share the thinking behind it.
The pen is a natural extension of our thought process. As a physical object, it fits seamlessly into any meeting or conversation. And writing on paper is the perfect way to stay focused and truly immerse yourself in thought.
As AI intelligence grows, we believe context engineering is the real differentiator, especially for hardware. There are other AI recorders out there, but many don't understand what you find most important in a meeting. How can you naturally signal your priorities? That's the purpose of our FlowMark™ Button. With a simple press, you mark the moments you find important while listening. The final summary has a soul because it genuinely knows what you care about. @gabe once called it "a physical granola!" – and I love that. This is our exploration of how to truly integrate user context into product design.
This is a pen we've poured so much into. From design to prototype to mass production, it's been a year-long journey. Hardware, as they say, is hard. But seeing the final result, I think it was all worth it.
Huge thanks to @sentry_co@busmark_w_nika and @gabe for being our first beta testers. Your feedback made Flowtica Scribe so much better.
Flowtica Scribe is now live on KS. Find more stories here.
This is such a cool and practical AI powered hardware! Congratulations on the launch @zaczuo 🔥
The product seems very interesting, loved the thought your team put into it. Are you’ll considering to make an Apple Pencil variation of this? I personally like taking notes on my iPad instead of a book since it’s a lot more convenient. Just food for thought, but great - I’m definitely considering getting something like this for myself.
@zaczuo always great to see folks who are active in the community launch and get solid engagement!!!- interesting to see someone actually building a physical product.
Jumping over to KS right now to check it out further!!!
Congrats again to you and your team - looks like an insane amount of legwork!
I am pretty sure that it is going to be an amazing product as Zac is a person that pays extreme attention to detail. The whole approach looks super polished and professional.
I also saw that the Kickstarter campaign goes extremely well!
Best of luck!
Turned a long audio session into clean, focused notes without effort. Huge time saving.
Such a amazing product ! have been looking for such ai gadgets for looooong time .
Amazing launch @zaczuo , literally when I saw your name in the maker section I thought that this product must be amazing , and then I explored about the product , great work guys , making such products boosts confidence.
It is interesting.....maybe i can use it paired with my plaud.... worth a try...
this looks cool! but the product is not clear to me. so it's a voice recorder, but it can also capture what we write and highlight?
I really like the features of this AI pen. How can I order one @zaczuo ?
I love demoing these types of products, so when @zaczuo reached out to see if I was interested in demoing Scribe, I jumped on it. The pen quality is really nice. The weight of the pen balances comfortably in hand and it blends nicely among the notebooks and computers I have. What I really appreciate is that @Flowtica Scribe made me do 2 things better
Take more physical notes again (my notebooks are feeling the love)
Actually helped me personally remember key highlights from conversations because I "triggered" them with the pen
Aside from that the notes and summaries from the app were really great. I also felt a lot more comfortable taking notes and pressing record on the pen vs setting up Granola to record on my phone. I actually didn't tell people I was recording because...I was taking notes! My thought was if they didn't have an issue with me taking notes, they shouldn't mind an AI summarizing the convo for me as well.
I previously tested @Fieldy and honestly think the products are complementary. Fieldy was great for day-to-day reminders, helping me catch up with tidbits from the day, and not forget something my wife asked. @Flowtica Scribe was an intentional moment that I needed meeting notes, much like how you'd use @Granola or @Fireflies.ai 👔.
As the space evolves I think products are going to succeeded in honing in and niching down and Scribe is a good example of this. Congrats on the launch @zaczuo and team!
Wow the kickstarter campaign is just moving faster and faster! TBH I really like the less is more approach with this pen. I would put it in the same category of devices as @reMarkable which is more about letting you focus, and less about maximising distraction. (And thanks 🙏 for letting me try the AI pen this summer, love it so far! and can't wait for it to grow even more powerful)
