Field notes

The homepage describes a five-step workflow: message intake, card loading, robotic writing, envelope addressing, and stamped posting. It says the same process handles a single thank-you or a campaign of up to 100,000 cards, with messages entering through an app, an integration, or an API. Senders can choose from more than 40 handwriting styles, submit a handwriting sample, or use custom stationery; the site says custom artwork is available from 250 cards.
