Sticky Nodes
Optimizing tasks is as simple as writing a sticky note. Jot down what you want to get done, and AI automatically identifies the tedious, repetitive parts it can handle, and replicates them as you would do them, so you can get to the fun parts faster.

With the rise of AI, many creatives believe they need to change the way they work to embrace it. In reality, it should be the opposite—AI should adapt to your workflow, not the other way around, embracing how you do things, maintaining your creative identity, and allowing you to do things your way, as you usually do them.
AI For Creatives Should
"The tool user, provided the tool is made well, need not, and indeed should not, know anything about the tool"
- Peter F. Drucker
Sticky Nodes
By using AI large action models (LAM), the Sticky Nodes propose a new integration to the creative's workflow by passively observing and training the AI on their current workflow, and finding ways to optimize the tedious and repetitive parts, all while creating a seamless integration to their existing workflow by replicating a common tool many creatives already use: the sticky note.
Meet the Nodes
Base Node
Think of it as home base. The Base node is in charge of training the AI, handling all of your tasks, sending them to the task nodes, and charging both itself, and the task nodes wirelessly when put side by side. It also holds the pen in the back, making sure it is easily accessible when you need it.
But the Nodes are Not All
The "Pen"
We all have enough pens and pencils lying around our desk, so instead of just another pen, the pen for the sticky nodes is more of like a pen cap which can easily slide into any existing pen or pencil and use that to write on the sticky nodes
The Task Board
The task board is an optional addition to the sticky nodes, allowing you to magnetically attach up to 4 task nodes to it. You can either mount the task board on the wall with the wall bracket, or slide it off the bracket, turn it around, and set it on your desk. The USB-C connection on the side also allows you to charge your task nodes when mounted to make sure they are always ready to go.
So, How Does it Work?
Suggested Tasks To Optimize By The AI
You write a sticky node reminder for what you want to work on today
Later in the day, you connect your camera to the computer to start working on it
The AI recognizes you have connected the camera, and because it has already observed you doing it previously, it already knows which tasks to optimize, and how to do them your way
So you can get to the fun parts faster
Task Node
For when you want to take your workflow on the go, the task node is your portable companion. It is in charge of storing the saved tasks you assign to it, and executing them, even when away from the base node. It also doubles down as a digital sticky note, allowing you to add, delete, and scroll through all of your notes on the e-ink screen.
Thoroughly Refined for an Optimum User Experience
The task node, as the main touch point with the user, was constantly tested and refined to ensure proper ergonomics, viewing angles and soft touchpoints.
