Layer 0 · Ingestion & corpus

Insight is bounded by input.

A chief of staff is only as useful as what it can see. This layer is about getting the right raw material in front of it — the things you actually said and agreed — and keeping that material clean and well separated.

Where the signal comes from

The richest source of work is rarely the task list — it's the conversation. So the most valuable thing the system can read is your meetings.

Your meetings

It reads the transcripts of the meetings you take, and treats them as the primary source of commitments — the things promised, decided and asked for while everyone was talking. That's where work is created, and where it most often goes unrecorded.

Each item is tagged with where it came from, so its origin is always clear.

The principles that keep it clean

Source-tagged

Everything ingested carries its origin, so the system can always say where a fact or a task came from.

Live

Kept separate

Personal, business and client material are kept apart by design — nothing bleeds across boundaries.

Live

Never auto-sends

Ingestion only ever reads and proposes. The system drafts and suggests; it never sends anything on your behalf.

Live

Mail, more broadly

Bringing inbound email into the same pipeline as a second source — extending reach beyond meetings.
