The next useful thought, close at hand.
Ascend Flow is a phone-first iOS conversation companion for moments when a person wants a little structure without handing the conversation over to a chatbot.
A BishopTech open-source build with SwiftUI, on-device speech recognition, optional OpenAI guidance, and optional compatible Meta display output.
Where it earns its place
A little support for the conversations that matter.
Networking
Keep the conversation moving while your attention stays on the person in front of you.
Sales conversations
Use a goal and personal knowledge references to surface useful transitions and talking points.
Everyday socializing
A little structure can make casual conversations feel less effortful without scripting the interaction.
Meetings and visits
Capture a user-started conversation, organize the important points, and leave with a clearer next step.
What is actually in the build
A phone-first companion with an optional wearable surface.
Phone-first input
The iPhone owns the user-started microphone session, on-device speech recognition, rolling context, and conversation history.
Glanceable output
Short suggestions, listening status, Rapid Node prompts, and Vibe Check cards can be sent to a compatible Meta display through DAT.
Clear privacy boundary
The local path works without an OpenAI key. Optional network coaching sends transcript text—not microphone audio—to the configured gateway.
The interaction model
The glasses stay glanceable. The phone stays in charge.
User-started session
iPhone microphone
On-device or gateway guidance
Phone + optional display
The repository documents conversation modes for casual conversations, one-on-ones, networking, sales, work meetings, doctor visits, social confidence, and Vibe Check. Suggestions are prompts for the person using the app—not a diagnosis, a promise of a social outcome, or a replacement for judgment.
