Projects turn your scattered thoughts into writing that sounds like you. Echo helps you shape raw ideas into structure, spot what’s missing, and build drafts powered entirely by your own perspective.

Major update to Echo iOS app You know that gap between moments of inspiration and the times you sit down to write and feel... empty? You don’t need to lose that spark anymore.

@facu_lorca_ Excellent writing stack.

@mttjon Step 1. Capture thoughts Step 2. Develop topics Step 3. Turn topics into outlines & first drafts The Echo iPhone widget and Apple Watch app are critical to making Step 1 feel super easy.

I spoke to the team at @EchoAINotes earlier this week. I love how you can interact with their product on the iPhone home screen via a widget and also via Apple Watch. Adding these additional ways of interfacing with a product can make all the difference in growing usage.

In a world of infinite, low-effort content, the scarcest resource is conviction, not insight. The future of knowledge work won't be about having the right answers. It will be about having a perspective that others choose to trust. echonotes.ai/blog/build-you… by @ReubsAbraham

You have to be smart about how you use AI to write content for your personal brand. ❌ Using AI to think for you ✅ Using AI to organize your thoughts and interview you to clarifying your thinking Great read from @HussainIbarra substack.com/home/post/p-17…

As of Nov 2024, 10% of top Substack writers use AI. Without a doubt, that number has gone up. wired.com/story/substack…

The 10-minute rule: If you can't develop an idea, spend just 10 minutes capturing every random detail about it and move on.

A "scatter-brained" day is often just a highly creative day without a good capture system.

The quickest way to defeat writer's block is to stop editing and just capture the raw, ugly version first.

@ReubsAbraham Prewriting, that stage of capturing & developing ideas, is an underserved part of the content creation flow

Writing is downstream of thinking

Time for a change. This is Echo, the prewriting app for capturing & developing ideas, so you always write from a position of abundance. youtu.be/q1SQa7fvo2o?si…

The problem is that when it's time to write, we waste time chasing down the thoughts, notes, and other inspiration we need to get started.

In an AI writing economy, successful writers will infuse their AI-assisted writing process with the context of their thoughts.
