Integration principles

Integrations can make a system more useful, but they can also make it noisier, less legible, and harder to trust. We treat integrations as part of product philosophy, not only as a feature checklist.

Connections should reduce interpretation cost

We are interested in integrations that help us understand the structure of a life more clearly, not in collecting connections for their own sake.

A useful integration should make priorities clearer, context richer, or recommendations more legible.

Boundaries matter as much as capability

Every external connection introduces questions about privacy, trust, noise, and product surface area. That is why we move carefully and explain what a connection changes.

If a connection adds complexity without creating calmer understanding, it does not belong just because it is popular.

The first connections should be obvious

Calendars, notes, finance tools, and other core daily systems are the kinds of surfaces we expect to explore first because they can materially shape context and timing.

We want our integration roadmap to feel reasoned and visible rather than opportunistic.
