A desktop app for reviewing conversations, practicing replies and getting live advice. Winner of the Most Useful track award at the Socia Global Build Challenge.
01 · Listen
Begin with what was said.
Flowra captures your microphone and your computer’s audio separately, then turns them into a transcript and a timeline.
02 · Reflect
Make room for reflection.
Review the transcript and get an analysis of what to try next. Gemini, through OpenRouter, powers the AI features.
03 · Practice
Try a response. Try another.
Practice and live-assistance views turn the conversation into feedback.
04 · Recognition
Built to be useful.
Flowra won the Most Useful award at the Socia Global Build Challenge. Built with Majd Alddin Sukkary.

01 / Purpose
What we set out to do.
Help a person review a conversation, practice responses, and receive assistance while speaking.
02 / Approach
How it came together.
I built the desktop app with Electron, React and TypeScript. Gemini, through OpenRouter, handles analysis, practice, transcription and live advice. Supabase stores the history, and the microphone and system audio are captured separately.
03 / Contribution
What I built.
Built with Majd Alddin Sukkary. I led the development of the Electron and React desktop app, including the audio capture and transcription flow and the Gemini-powered review, practice and live-assistance features.
04 / Demonstration
See it working.
Flowra has three flows: transcript review, response practice and live assistance. It labels each line as coming from the microphone or from the system audio.

06 / Limitations
Limits and next steps.
Flowra is a prototype. We haven’t yet measured transcription accuracy, latency or how much it helps real users, and that’s what I’d test next.
07 / Lessons learned
What I’m taking forward.
Audio capture, useful feedback, and clear interface states all matter when designing an application around a live conversation.
