Introducing Flowtica’s AI pen for iPhone
A pen for spies? Maybe. Flowtica has come up with a smart contraption, Flowtica Scribe, a pen which allows users to focus on the meeting while AI quietly captures and organizes what matters. The pen also captures handwriting and notes and was originally developed as a Kickstarter project.
AI in the pen
Flowtica Scribe includes fully automated AI-driven voice capture without the need to manually adjust a dial, a charging case with Apple Find My compatibility, Apple MFi certification for iPhone and iPad, and 20 gel refills.
I like this idea as while AI meeting tools have transformed transcription, many are still built around screens, video calls or standalone recording devices, while the pen is something you carry with you anywhere, including places where the screen is not available.
What they said
“For centuries, the pen has remained one of the most natural ways people think, process and make decisions. But while the pen may be mightier than the sword, Flowtica Scribe represents the next evolution: making the pen mightier than the meeting,” said Zac Zuo, Co-Founder of Flowtica.
As a pen, Scribe works on any paper while capturing audio using its built-in studio-grade MEMS microphone at up to 5 meters. It includes 32GB storage, supports up to 15 voices and offers up to 30 hours of continuous recording from the pen, or up to 100 hours with the Complete Set charging case.
“Flowtica Scribe was built for the conversations that happen in the room, where people need to listen, think, write and stay fully engaged. By transforming handwritten thinking, spoken conversation, and real-world context into structured summaries, decisions and follow-up actions, it ensures AI does not pull people out of the moment, but quietly helps them understand what happened and what to do next.”
There are additional useful features:
- You’ll find a control on the pen body that lets users flag important items in real time.
- The wireless sync means iOS users gain effortless background transfers.
- Once in the app, Flowtica automatically turns recordings into structured summaries, tasks, decisions and follow-up actions.
- Users can also use the pen to photograph handwritten notes, whiteboards, slides or other meeting materials.
The pen ships with Flowtica software, which lets you search by topic, speaker, or task. It supports 39 languages, works with both major smartphone operating systems, and costs $159 (standard) or $209 (Complete Set).
Flowtica also offers Free, Premium and Unlimited software plans. Device owners receive 300 free AI processing minutes per month, while non-device owners receive 100 minutes. Unlimited local transcription is available exclusively to Flowtica Scribe owners. Premium is available for $14.90 per month or $119.99 per year and includes 1,200 AI-processing minutes per month, while Unlimited is available for $29.90 per month or $239.99 per year and includes unlimited AI processing.
