Great MVP pitch!

After signing up for the Beta, it hit me. Every single bit of this could have been staged without having done any coding at all!! Brilliant!!

I'm not sure if that is actually the case, but theoretically it is totally possible. This is a great example of the classic MVP pitch: validate interest before building.

Well, at least part of it was staged. The handwriting on the left differs from the Google Doc:

- Handwriting: "The plan is simple:"

- Google Doc: "The plan is simple and brilliant. Here are the steps:"

Yep, that's fair.

We staged the google doc bc there is still a 10-30 sec lag time in sending the note out, we'll fix it up. Thank you for the call out!

Honestly, this wasn't calling you out at all. I think it is great. It is a very well done presentation. You did a good enough job that it made me interested in the product.
Thanks Brad! It was a great call out and something we should've seen before posting. Appreciate the feedback
So this is a con? 'staging' is a nice way of putting it I guess.
Hey! We wanted to show how the product works if notes are delivered instantly - vs. the current 10-30 sec lag time we experience between note being snapped, and the transcribed copy you receive.

Definitely didn’t mean for it to put a damper on the tech - sorry for the mistake.

Nice good catch!

I totally think this was all staged. I would love to think that they've made some huge innovation in OCR.

In any case, it is a good example of an MVP.

Thanks for the catch! We uploaded an updated version of the video here
