60-second video script
[0–5s] Hook: “Stop paying monthly for AI dictation. This one’s free, and it never sends your voice anywhere.”
[5–20s] Demo: Hold fn in Slack, ramble with an “um” and “meet at 5, no wait, 6”. Let go and clean text appears: “Meet at 6.”
[20–40s] Meetings: Open Kitflo’s Notes tab, pick “Zoom only”, record, pause, stop. Show the transcript labelled You / Speaker 1 and the notes with action items.
[40–55s] Why it matters: “It all runs on your Mac. No account, no cloud, open source.”
[55–60s] Call to action: “Kitflo by Harshkit. Free at harshkit.com. Link below.”
