I’m not sure about onboarding but to my eye the general UX kind of misses the mark on what’s valuable about this app.

I see the app as basically “voice recorder plus” and in that regard it’s incredibly powerful. As you have the UX now, the app is more like “AI content creator that can only take voice input” which is less compelling and results in the initial flow you have now.

I think a more straightforward “record than choose output” makes a lot of sense. I could see how “choose then record” would be efficient if I always knew I wanted to create a blog post, for instance, but absent that it’s overall off putting to have to think ahead of time what you want your output to be.

If the initial (and usual) experience is “record something then we’ll ask what you want to create” I think it will unfold for new users much more clearly.
