Your pen captures it. Vera remembers it. The work gets done. Scriben is an AI pen for professionals. It writes with real ink — just like any pen you've used for years. The difference: while you're writing, it's also listening, understanding, and turning the conversation into finished work. Your meeting ends. Your notes are done, your follow-ups are drafted, and nothing has been forgotten. No new habits. No awkward devices on the table. No explaining to a client why you're recording them. Just your pen, doing more than a pen ever has. IMAGINE YOUR NEXT MEETING You walk into a meeting. You carry your pen. By the time you walk out, you have a full transcript, a summary, the action items — and the follow-up email already written, waiting for you to send it. You never touched your phone. That's Scriben. BUILT FOR PROFESSIONALS WHO CAN'T AFFORD TO MISS A WORD • Attorneys — every deposition, client meeting, and negotiation • Founders — never lose a board meeting, investor call, or brainstorm • Physicians — document patient visits and clinical notes hands-free • Financial Advisors — a full record of every client conversation • Consultants, Therapists, Real Estate Agents, and anyone whose work lives in conversation IT CAPTURES Full Transcript A clear transcript with speaker labels, and multilingual support with real-time code-switching for mixed-language meetings. AI Summary What was discussed, what was decided, and the context you need. Readable in under 60 seconds. Action Items Commitments and follow-ups pulled out automatically — what needs to happen, and who said they would do it. IT REMEMBERS Meet Vera, the assistant that actually remembers. Ask her anything from any conversation you've ever had. Last Tuesday's pricing call. That hiring decision from March. What you promised the client in the hallway. She answers from what was actually said, and shows you where. She looks forward, too — what's coming, what you committed to, what's about to slip. IT WORKS FOR YOU Vera writes the follow-up email. She stages the calendar invite. She lines up what comes next. Then she stops and waits for you. Nothing is sent, booked, or shared until you read it and approve it. Every action is a proposal, never a surprise. BUILT FOR THE ROOM, NOT THE CALL Most AI note-takers listen to your laptop. They need a video call to exist. Scriben listens to the table — the in-person meeting, the client lunch, the conversation in the hallway afterward. The ones that were never being recorded at all. The pen that remembers everything you don't. YOUR CONVERSATIONS ARE YOURS Encrypted on your device. Never sold, never used for advertising, never used to train anyone else's models. Delete your account and it all goes with it. Terms of Service: https://scriben.ai/policies/terms-of-service Privacy Policy: https://scriben.ai/policies/privacy-policy Recording laws vary by location.
