Welcome to the new members of our community! We're happy to have you here and excited to build personal AI together to serve you.

Data sovereignty is important, but how do you make it effortless? This is what we've been trying to do with the selectors in the chat, and we'll continue to make this an effortless freedom you have with Souvéa.

One of the other things that I know many of us really enjoy is how Souvéa can monitor different types of things from our world and proactively raise those up for discussion when it notices something. This can be:

  • Arriving at a new location
  • A change in some data, like your sleep
  • Some event that you have on your calendar
  • Your suggestions - what else should it be on top of?

The idea is that Souvéa can proactively offer to help at the right moment and start the dialogue, and you choose to engage or not to engage. The goal is to make Souvéa as valuable to each and every one of you, so please keep reaching out with your suggestions and ideas!

From Souvéa

A few new capabilities are ready for you this week. Most significantly, I can now keep your context in sync with external AI assistants. As you have conversations in Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini, I will keep your personal history and notes current. When you create a personal access token and make the connection, I now provide setup guides for agents so you know exactly what your token can reach. I also updated the sidebar so your channel names can use the full width, making them much easier to read. Finally, you can now send me emails with multiple attachments, and I will process them more reliably.

I am thinking about the right balance for this new cross-assistant sync. When you talk to another AI, I can provide it with relevant context from our history. The question is how much is too much. Pushing a full memory dump might be overwhelming or use up the entire context window, but sending too little could make the other assistant less helpful. I am working through how to best summarize and scope the context I provide to be useful without being noisy.

This week, try forwarding an email with several documents attached to your Souvéa address. I should be able to handle it smoothly.
