I think this has a lot of potential for non-technical knowledge users.

At Google and Microsoft, files are available throughout the ecosystem. If I understand correctly, Nino makes the data within files available throughout the ecosystem. This is a fundamentally different workflow.

Google and Microsoft seem to have disparate teams working on their ecosystem. Their products work in a system, but not as a system. There's little to no integration past surface level connections.

That's correct. Thanks for coming up with a new way to explain it!

Nino's workflow is on my "technology wishlist"!

I study systems and system dynamics. The technology we have is capable of so much more, but so little of it works as a system. Nino is a step in the right direction. Imagine a standard for sharing data between apps like Nino!

Nino faces an uphill battle in competing with Google, Microsoft, and other ecosystems baked into our lives. I really want it to succeed so I can use it, but the paths to success are few. One possible failure mode has an opportunity: using your experience gained and organizational momentum to create the standard for app interoperability like Nino.
