  • โ€ขContext Engine: Employs a vector-based 'Active Memory' buffer that maintains a rolling 24-hour window of user activity across all integrated applications.
  • โ€ขIntegration Layer: Uses a proprietary 'Universal Bridge API' that translates application-specific UI elements into a standardized semantic representation for the AI model.
  • โ€ขDeployment: Supports hybrid execution, allowing sensitive tasks to run on-premises while offloading heavy reasoning to AWS Bedrock-hosted instances.
