Memory and promises

Things with a shape it can use later. Roughly:

• Facts about your work: a price, a contact, a deadline, a way of doing something, a customer, a supplier, a site, a rule from a regulator.
• People, places and things you mention by name.
• Decisions you made, and why.
• Your preferences, including how you want it to write to you.
• Questions it asked and you have not answered yet.

It works best when you say things in one plain sentence with the names in it. Not he said Tuesdays but:

“Malcolm at the recycling yard takes our loads on Tuesdays and Thursdays.”

• Passwords, codes and card numbers. It skips them on purpose, and should never ask for one.
• Small talk, and exchanges too short to carry anything.
• Anything from a Wake up or Goodnight review. Those are it talking back to you, not you telling it something new.

Everything it keeps is private to your account. Nobody else can read it, including other people in a world you share.

When it writes something down it also decides whether it is personal. Anything about private life, family, health, money or how you are feeling is marked personal and can never leave your account. The rule it works by is: when unsure, personal.

Some of what you say is clearly a company fact rather than a personal one: a price, a contact, a deadline, a procedure. If you are in a world with other people, Nirvaana will suggest that this one belongs there, where your team would see it.

It does not put it there. It puts it in the panel called “Waiting on your ✅” and waits for you. Until you say yes, the fact is private, the same as everything else. The panel's empty state says it plainly: “Nothing waiting. When something you say belongs in a shared world, I ask here first.”

Press ✅ on a waiting fact and it tells you who would see it, by name, before anything moves: “Add to United Environmental? Kevin and Javier will see it, and so will anyone in a moon of it that reads from it.” The yes is a second press, “Yes, add it”, directly under that sentence, so nothing is shared by someone who has not read who it reaches. “Not yet” closes the question and leaves the fact waiting.

A waiting fact can carry the words it came from: the exact quotes behind the sentence, and where they were. When one does, its card says so under the sentence, for example “Goes with it: 2 quotes”, and opening that shows every quote before you decide. The quotes go into the world with the fact, so the question under ✅ says its people will read them too.

Say yes and the fact goes into that world carrying where it came from: your name, the memory it was learned from, the conversation it was said in, and the day you first said it. What the world gets is the one sentence. Your memory stays yours, and so does the conversation.

Press “Not this one” and nothing is shared. The answer is written down, and the same sentence is not put to you again.

If someone joins or leaves that world between the sentence and the press, the press is refused and you are shown who would see it now, to answer again. You can only say yes into a world you build in; in one you only read, the panel says so instead of offering a button.

You can do the same in chat: ask what is waiting and it reads you the same sentence, one fact at a time, before anything moves. Not while a world is in the room, though — when a world’s own words are in front of it, a yes to share into that world is the panel’s to take, not the chat’s.

Tell it what you owe someone, or what someone owes you, and it writes it down as a promise. Say the date if you know it.

“I told Kevin I'd have the Safe Storage quote to him by Friday.”

“Malcolm owes us the weight tickets from last Thursday.”

Open promises appear in “Ripe today” when they are late or due within the week, with what you owe shown with who it is to, and what you are owed led by who owes it, as in “Malcolm owes you”. Late ones come first.

When one is done, say so, and it closes it. It will not quietly drop a promise because it became inconvenient, and it should not invent one you did not make.

The “Kept today” panel shows what it wrote down today, so you can see it working. Each line ends with “remembered”. If it is empty it says “Nothing kept yet today. What you tell me that matters is kept here, privately.”

At Goodnight it looks over what it learned today and merges near-duplicates. If you told it a price in March and a new one today, it writes one memory saying the current price and marks the old one replaced. Nothing is deleted, so the history is still there.

Say it again, plainly, in one sentence. Then tell Benicio. This is the thing the whole product is judged on, so a miss is genuinely useful to hear about.
