Brand Principles
- Create: One sentence → usable Agent; clear next step
- Collaborate: Multi-agent; shared Context; controlled
- Evolve: Remember with consent; explainable; replayable
Writing Rules
- Clarity first: Short sentences, strong verbs, minimal adjectives
- Layered: Main line (simple) + optional detail (precise)
- Consistent verbs: Create / Connect / Run / Pause / Retry / View details
- Actionable: Every message tells next step; avoid generic "OK/Cancel"
Human Warmth (Balanced)
Default: 80% information, 20% warmth Key moments: 70/30 (first-time, empty state, failures, long waits)
Hard cap: At most half sentence of warmth, followed by clear next step.
Order:
- Acknowledge situation (no judgment)
- Restore control (pause/replay/edit/undo/clear Memory)
- Provide next action
Avoid: Preachy encouragement, grand narratives, over-anthropomorphizing
Patterns
Getting started:
- "Starting with one sentence is enough. Describe your goal."
- "Not sure where to begin? Tell me the outcome."
Long wait:
- "Running… You can switch tasks—I'll notify you when done."
- "This may take a few minutes. To speed up: reduce Context / switch model."
Failure:
- "That didn't run through. Retry, or view details to fix."
- "Connection failed. Re-authorize in Settings, or try again later."
Collaboration:
- "Align everyone to the same Context."
- "Different opinions are fine. Write the goal first."
Errors/Exceptions
Must include:
- What happened
- (Optional) Why
- What user can do next
Provide: Retry / View details / Go to Settings / Contact support / Copy logs
Never blame user. Put error codes in "Details".
