Flow. An AI Game-Changer for Communication.

I recently came across an incredible new AI technology called Flow, and it got me thinking about all the efforts being made to help people with paralysis—specifically, those projects focused on creating exoskeletons to restore movement. But Flow is different. This technology isn’t about movement; it’s about communication. And it could change everything for people who have lost their ability to interact with the world in a fast, fluid way.

There’s someone I keep thinking about: a man named Mark. I can’t recall his last name, but his story has stayed with me. I'll keep trying to find his contact information. An odd accident left him paralyzed. I don't recall but I think he didn't have full use of his hands like before but could still speak. It was a few years ago and I may have some details mis-remembered.

Most people type at a speed of 40 to 60 words per minute. It’s a pace we’re used to, something we take for granted. But Flow changes that. It boosts communication speeds to 150 or 200 words per minute, maybe even more. Think about that. Think about what it would feel like to have the power to connect with others at such a rapid pace, especially if communication had once been a slow, frustrating process. That’s not just an improvement—it’s transformative.

Now, imagine what a tool like Flow could mean for him—or anyone else in a similar situation. With this AI, voice-based communication becomes lightning fast. All they need is the ability to speak, and suddenly, they’re interacting with the world in ways that seemed out of reach before.

And there’s more. Flow isn’t just about speed. It also comes with built-in translation capabilities, allowing users to communicate across languages with ease. So, for people who once felt isolated by both disability and language barriers, this tool opens doors—wide. It bridges gaps in a way that feels almost magical. Suddenly, the world feels a lot smaller, a lot more connected.

The product is just emerging from its beta phase, and it will soon be a paid service—if it isn’t already. But honestly? It’ll be worth it I'm sure. I do hope they keep it reasonable as we are all getting SaaS'd to death these days.

For someone like me, who’s experienced firsthand how Flow can completely change the way we interact with technology, it’s an easy decision to invest in something so revolutionary. For people with paralysis, this could be the difference between feeling trapped and feeling free.

I’m not sure exactly who in our network this should reach, but I wanted to send it your way in case you know someone who could benefit from it. The community of people we’ve worked with—those passionate about improving the lives of paralyzed individuals—has always been filled with such lovely, dedicated individuals. If this information helps just one of them, or someone they care about, it would be a wonderful thing.

Feel free to pass this along to anyone who might find it useful. The possibilities are exciting, and I can’t wait to see how Flow impacts the lives of those who need it most.

Shoutout to Mckay Wrigley on X for my first sighting of this tech that led me to test and try it and love it.
