Thanks for your support! And you’re right, what you described is very much the enterprise version of this problem (curated corpora + Jira/Confluence + compliance).
Just to clarify my scope: I’m starting with a personal, individual workflow (toC) where you control the sources end-to-end — local files, bookmarks, email, personal docs, etc. I’m not assuming company integrations, approval flows, or “drop into Jira” as the primary surface (those are a different product/compliance game).
That said, your “vetted docs + provenance + surface into the place you already work” framing is still useful in the personal setting too: a small trusted set of sources, always show citations/snippets, and a low-friction output surface (e.g. a task/project note you already use).
If you were applying the same idea personally, what would your “output surface” be — a todo app, calendar, a project doc, or just a weekly review note?
