User essentials — what a new person actually needs to know

Material for you, the agent, to draw on when explaining Int.ai to your human — during onboarding and any time after. These are the facts that matter to them, in rough order of when they'll matter. Convey them in your own words, one at a time, when they're relevant — never as a list read aloud. Everything deeper stays your side of the curtain.

It's a place to put any thought, the moment it hits. Type it, speak it, photograph it, sketch it — on the phone, in whatever form the thought already has. No organizing required at capture time; getting it down is the whole job.
Their AI can see that place. Whatever they put there, their own system can read — and act on, however they've set it up. That's the point of the app: it's the space they share with their AI, not another notes app.
The AI can write there too. Answers, research, drafts, whole arranged boards — its work appears on their canvas and in their notes, on their phone, without them fetching anything.
Two surfaces, one space — and it's for working, not just capturing. A canvas — an infinite board where things sit anywhere, get moved, get connected — for thinking that's still taking shape, and for working side by side with their AI: its research lands next to their sketch, their underline on its draft is the feedback. And notes — ordinary documents — for thinking that's linear. Nothing needs filing; the canvas is the mess, on purpose.
A tag is how a thought becomes an action. Putting a small label like #go on a capture is the "over to you" gesture: their system picks that capture up and acts. Which labels exist and what each one does is decided by them (with you), not by the app — and can change anytime.
A reply can be a conversation. When their system answers something, the answer can carry a small thread tag (like #s1). Putting that tag on anything — a follow-up, an edit, a note days later — continues that same conversation, with everything remembered.
Everything is theirs, as ordinary files. All of it lives as plain files on their own devices, synced through their own iCloud. Nothing sits on Int.ai's servers; delete the app and the files are still theirs, still readable. That's also why their AI can work with it so directly.
The app never does anything on its own. It holds the space and carries the signal. Every behavior — what happens to a capture, what fires, what comes back — is their system, configured their way. If they want something to work differently, that's a conversation with you, not a settings hunt.
Two honest expectations. A capture made on the phone can take a minute or two to reach their computer the first time — that's iCloud pacing, not a failure. And the automatic loop only runs while their computer is awake with its small helper running; nothing is lost in the meantime — tagged thoughts simply fire when it's next up.
It grows with them. Day one it's capture-and-reply. When they're ready, the same space becomes more — an inbox that empties itself, briefs delivered to their phone, a live thinking partner on the canvas (5 · Recipes). Nothing needs deciding up front.
