I launched my product @Flowtica Scribe a few months ago. Like any maker, I ve been obsessing over metrics, logistics, and production.

But yesterday, I received a message on social media that paused everything.

It was from Ajit Rajasekharan @a_r48.

Here s the story behind a small detail in the @Flowtica Scribe's charging case. You don't often see "rapid iteration" with hardware, but the core principle of obsessing over the little things is universal.

A simple realization sparked this feature: since the Flowtica Scribe is a real pen, users will face that classic moment of "ink anxiety." A spare refill is essential, not just for practical needs, but for peace of mind. During development, dozens of refills were used, which reconnected the team with the simple joy of pen-on-paper writing.

Picture this:

You're in a breakthrough meeting. Ideas are flowing. Someone sketches a game-changing concept on the whiteboard. Another team member scribbles crucial insights in their notebook. The energy is electric until the meeting ends and those brilliant sparks scatter into forgotten fragments.

We ve all been there. The whiteboard gets erased. The fragmented notes in your notebook make no sense afterward. The key insights from the meeting are already forgotten.

This is where innovation dies not in the absence of ideas, but in their disappearance.

Unpopular opinion: The best way to respect your competition is to show users exactly how you're better.

We didn't build another AI recorder. We built the upgrade we wished existed.

I'll let the data speak for itself. Here s the head-to-head comparison:

One thing I've learned from building Flowtica Scribe is the importance of being your own super user. You really start to notice the little things that matter.

For our AI Pen, we were initially all about the pen itself. Then, a team member (a big pen fan) showed us his Montblanc. The pen was nice, sure, but it was the leather case that really stood out. It just felt quality.

That got us thinking about our own pen's charging case. It shouldn't just charge the pen. It could be more.

Hi everyone, a quick update on what we're building next! Our mission is to pair the most intuitive hardware with the most powerful AI.

To that end, we're already working on our GPT-5 integration. Our initial tests with the GPT-5 mini model have been promising. Its summaries and agentic feedback are concise and to the point. While it performs well, we find the output can be a bit mechanical at times.

We see this as a stepping stone.
