TL;DR The Flowtica Verso is a MagSafe-compatible AI companion with an e-paper touchscreen that gives you direct access to meeting summaries, calendars, and action items.
The device comes with 64GB of storage, up to 72 hours of battery life, a couple of physical buttons for controlling key functions, and a non-disableable LED recording indicator.
The Flowtica Verso costs $299 and will ship in Q4 2026.
The AI hardware space is evolving beyond screenless pins and clip-on wearables. While existing devices like the PLAUD NotePin focus on discreet voice capture that relies entirely on a companion smartphone app, Flowtica is taking a different approach. Unveiled at IFA 2026, the newly announced Flowtica Verso is a magnetic AI companion that snaps onto the back of your smartphone and features an always-on e-paper display to keep your summaries, schedules, and AI insights visible at a glance.
Unlike traditional AI voice recorders that act as screenless “black boxes,” the Flowtica Verso delivers its core experience directly on the hardware. It integrates a 259ppi e-paper touchscreen that keeps meeting summaries, calendars, and action items visible without forcing you to open a mobile app.
The MagSafe-compatible companion weighs 98 grams and is built from a premium aluminum-magnesium alloy. You can magnetically attach the Verso to your phone, set it on a desk stand, or wear it on a lanyard. Its distraction-free interface is designed to do the opposite of modern smartphone screens: quietly presenting crucial next steps while keeping you present in the room.
Under the hood, the Verso packs hardware designed specifically for meeting capture. Its audio system features four MEMS microphones paired with a bone-conduction microphone, which Flowtica claims can clearly capture voice from up to 5m away.
It is also equipped with 64GB of onboard storage, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, USB-C for charging, up to 72 hours of battery life, and even an integrated NFC digital business card for quick contact sharing.
On the privacy front, Flowtica has made some reassuring design choices. The Verso completely lacks a camera and features a physical, non-disableable recording LED indicator that remains illuminated whenever audio is captured, so anyone nearby knows when they are being recorded.
