Why I built Flow2

Why I built Flow2

A founder's journey from AI to mobile-first

I set out to build FlowboardAI.

Add AI to everything we'd built?

10+ years. 500k users. Kiosks around the world. AI was the obvious next step.

We started designing the full experience.

Generation, editing, chat. The full AI presentation product.

Then we asked how these presentations should look on a phone.

Everything changed in that moment. I posted on X that morning: "one prompt changed my life... it changed the trajectory of our value prop immediately."

For years, the mobile viewing experience has been an afterthough

A responsive shrink. A PDF in a thumb. It deserved to be the main event.

The mobile experience isn't a feature of the presentation.

The mobile experience IS the presentation.

I left town for four weeks.

Family. Meetings. Some fun. Phone in my pocket the whole time. I kept iterating, iterating, iterating on the mobile viewing experience that I and everyone deserved.

I came back and threw away the desktop editor.

Rebuilt from the phone, for the phone. Mobile player. Mobile editor. Mobile authoring.

Then we threw away the FlowboardAI name.

What we built wasn't FlowVella or Flowboard with AI bolted on.  It was something different. Something new.
