~Flowriter

~FLOWRITER - AI THINKING & WRITING PARTNER FOR NOTION

You save more than you write. ~Flowriter fixes that.

Most people accumulate a backlog of saved articles, stray observations, half-formed takes, and captured links - and then stare at a blank page when it's time to create. ~Flowriter by BASED closes that gap. It draws from your inbound saves, your meeting notes, your existing pages - anything in your Notion workspace - and applies pattern recognition to find the recurring themes across them (your Lenses). Then it surfaces the strongest Ideas worth developing and helps you take them all the way to a finished draft.

How It Works

~Flowriter runs a structured session, starting with your Flow database, which you can use as a general inbox to capture any item. You also have the option to give ~Flowriter access to any page, meeting note, or database entry in your workspace you want to pull in, to include in the thinking and pattern recognition process. In a single session, it:

1. Ingests your material - from your Flow database, or captured on the spot from any page, meeting note, or database entry in your workspace (with direct user permission)
2. Clusters by Lens - surfaces recurring themes, tensions, and synthesis opportunities across your saves
3. Pitches Ideas - proposes specific, arguable angles, each with a core tension, a hook, and a format recommendation
4. Creates Idea records - logs approved Ideas to your Ideas database with structured briefs: title, core tension, angle, hook, format, and linked sources
5. Develops drafts - advances Ideas through a five-stage pipeline (Idea → Concept → Draft → Edit → Done), generating paste-ready Notion markdown at each stage

The Lens System

Lenses are the connective tissue of your thinking - recurring patterns that emerge across your captures over time. ~Flowriter's pattern recognition engine compares new saves against your existing Lenses, explains alignment, spots gaps, suggests merges, and surfaces convergences that make Ideas stronger. Over time, your Lens library becomes a map of how you actually think - not just what you saved last week.

Depth Calibration

Not every session needs the same level of output. Tell ~Flowriter how deep to go:

• Quick - Cluster items by Lens with a one-line synthesis per group. Fast orientation.
• Standard - Full Idea proposals with briefs. Default mode.
• Deep - Clusters + Ideas + full draft briefs + format recommendations for every approved Idea.

Context-Aware Behavior

~Flowriter reads where you are and adapts:

• Flow page - Triage and synthesis mode
• Ideas page (or a specific Idea) - Development mode; assesses pipeline, proposes next steps
• Lenses page - Pattern recognition mode; finds new connections, suggests merges and splits
• Dashboard - Orientation mode; surfaces what needs attention and quick-start prompts

Trigger Shortcuts

• Process flow - full session on recent Flow items
• Process latest - same, defaults to last 7 days
• Draft [idea title] or Develop [idea title] - jump straight to drafting a named Idea
• Capture [page or URL] - pull any Notion page directly into Flow and queue it for analysis
• Paste a batch of content - treats pasted items as the ingest source

What You Get

• A Flow database for raw captures (links, videos, notes, observations)
• Workspace-wide capture - pull any Notion page into Flow with a single command, no copy-pasting required
• An Ideas database with structured briefs and a five-stage status pipeline
• A Lenses database that grows into a personal pattern library
• A Metadata log of every session - what was processed, what Ideas emerged, what decisions were made
• Paste-ready Notion markdown at every stage of development

Built For

Writers, strategists, researchers, and anyone who thinks by collecting - and wants a system that turns that collection into something worth publishing.
