This week was, in a word, massive. After weeks of debating individual features and philosophies, this was the week we pulled it all together for the main project framework review. I’m thrilled (and slightly relieved) to say it landed incredibly well. We presented the new app structure, and the team is now fully aligned on the path forward.
A huge part of this new framework is the main AI dashboard. We’re moving away from a static feed to a much more flexible and personalized main screen. It finally feels like a proper, intelligent hub rather than just a list of files. We’ve mapped out how this new dashboard will intelligently surface different kinds of information to the user at the right time. It’s a big step up for the whole experience.
Of course, before we could finalise a framework that relies so heavily on AI, we had to get philosophical. A huge chunk of the week was spent in a marathon session on privacy and security. It’s not enough to just tick a legal box. My position, which I argued for, is that we have to be user-centric from the absolute start. We must build transparency and trust into the why of our design, making our processes visible and speaking to users in plain English. This philosophy will now underpin every privacy feature we build.
While the review was the main event, we were also in the weeds nailing down other critical details. We had a fascinating debate on the scope of our AI assistant, particularly about how the mobile and glasses experiences should differ. We also (finally!) got alignment on how to display sync status to the user, which is vital for managing expectations.
It was an exhausting but incredibly productive week. The framework is locked, the vision is clear, and the team is aligned. Now, the real fun begins.
