Idea

A macOS menu bar app that records your screen and voice while working, then uses AI to automatically generate structured documentation and export to Notion. Eliminates the friction of manual doc writing.

Why this is interesting

Screen recording combined with AI transcription has become genuinely viable only in the past 18 months, as Whisper-quality voice recognition dropped to near-zero cost and multimodal models got good enough to interpret screen context — the timing is real. Loom is the closest substitute, but it's built around sharing video, not generating written docs, so there's a meaningful gap. The $2k–$10k MRR band makes sense for a solo or small-team tool at $15–30/month, but it requires a few hundred paying users, which means distribution is the entire game here. The biggest risk is that the AI output quality is just good enough to impress in a demo but too inconsistent to replace real documentation in practice, leading to high churn after the novelty wears off.
