Big new feature release for Scribbe.

We've added support for 16 languages including Spanish, French, Japanese, Chinese, Hindi, German & more! 🌍

Now you can record IN PERSON meetings, interviews & conversations in your native language and get summaries, notes, action items & transcripts.

How we built our multi-agent research system On the the engineering challenges and lessons learned from building Claude's Research system

Claude's deep research feature is better than the ones from Open AI and Perplexity in my experience.

They've put out a fascinating deep dive on how they built its multi-agent architecture:

I've added a new feature to Scribbe: editable note titles.

Version 1.7.0, released this week, gives users the ability to change the title of a note.

Previously, AI generated a title for a note, & you were stuck with it. No more! This one was driven by repeated user requests.

Finding Claude often performs better with its new web search tool turned off. Its internal knowledge seems more reliable than the mix of internal knowledge + web search results.

Creation pipeline: HeyGen to create talking head video. Send to editor ($30 on Fiverr) with b-roll library and instructions to cover the speaker when necessary.

AI still struggles with getting lip motions right and being able to produce video with enough facial expressiveness to seem natural.

The solution to deal with this - use b-roll or popups to cover the AI avatar's face where the expression gets off (example below).

Scribbe now supports audio import. You can bring in a meeting recorded outside the app and create AI notes of it.

Mostly App Store Optimization at this point. Have been testing a few other channels like Meta ads as well.

Making progress ... revenue for January was $823, up from $92 in December.

I added audio export to Scribbe last week.

Recorded audio can now be exported with just a tap and shared via the iOS Share Sheet. ✨

#buildinpublic #reactnative

It took a bit, but now getting consistent downloads for Scribbe. Now averaging about 60 on weekdays.

#buildinpublic

From, what I know, that's pretty good. Translates to download -> paying of 5-7%.

Revenue for December at $92. Still small but 2x November.

#buildinpublic

What are your download -> trial and trial -> paid looking like? I've been trying to work on those.

Excellent idea. Thanks Lukas

Have you experimented with introductory free trials (3 days, 7 days, etc.)?

Thanks Sam. We actually finished the feature with in house code and shipped it.

Just shipped a new PDF export feature. Notes and transcripts can now be exported as PDFs through the iOS share sheet.

#buildinpublic

Thanks man

A pdf export feature

Here's what I came up with:

scribbe.ai

We're live with the new landing page for Scribbe I've been working on 🚀. Feedback on the design and whether it communicates the value prop? scribbe.ai.

#buildinpublic

Working today on a new landing page for Scribbe & loving Bolt. It has been able to do 80% of the work for me. The design it came up with was pretty good (and responsive). Now it's just about polishing the code.

#buildinpublic

This is awesome - thanks dude! What did you use to make this?

Scribbe's landing page 👇 was fine for a quick launch, but it needs an upgrade.

I can code it, but design is not my strong suit. Want something high fidelity with scroll animations, etc.

Recommendations on designers or templates?
