I love doing the dumb thing first. Because if it’s dumb but it works then it’s no longer dumb.
This is basically true in all aspects of software. Choose the dumbest architecture that’ll work. choose the dumbest design that gets the job done. Being clever means your users also have to be just as clever to understand your cleverness

Kinda wish I’d been archiving emails (vs deleting, as I have been) this whole time.

There’s more: 27.3 introduces a memory graph. It’s centered on you: relationships, places, routines, health, workouts, and what motivates you or holds you back. Plus “memory atoms”: facts, opinions, intentions and events, with time, place, people and topic. Tidbits: • The memory graph is filled by two kinds of recipes: 1. Fastpass: Turns already-structured data into insights. For example, Person-v1 reads your Me card’s name fields. 2. Agent: An on-device or PCC model extracts insights by querying Siri chats, messages, photos, health data, and other sources. • There’s only one agent recipe today, MotivatorBarrierResource. Its prompt asks 60 built-in questions, including “Do extended solo media activities during evening downtime routines highlight time availability barriers for adequate sleep?” • The memory graph is still being built. For example, there’s no process that creates memory atoms yet. • Memory atoms can generalize into broader memories. Each is tagged with one of 21 topics, such as food, travel, finance, or services, which can store your dentist or lawyer.​ Here’s where to find the DBs on Mac: • Memory graph: ~/Library/CorePersonalization/insight/MemoryGraph/memorygraph.db​ • HybridSearch (incl. explicit-memory records, none yet): ~/Library/Daemon Containers/<UUID>/Data/Library/HybridSearch/index/C/index.db Both use HybridDatabase, Apple’s fork of Kùzu (storage v57), so the public kuzu package can’t open them. You can use HybridDatabase.framework.
Apple is building an explicit-memory store for Siri AI. Memory records are queried via full-text (BM25) and vector search, then merged via RRF. Siri’s chat recall in 27.2 uses the same search pipeline to find past chats. Built on the Kuzu graph database Apple acquired.

If in doubt, just throw more tokens at the problem.

Once we all decide Siri Recaps are acceptable, they are gonna be a massive advantage for Siri’s personal context. Makes the IRL digital without a single user step.

I tweeted about this over the weekend and here it is!
For context: The Android Dev Summit site just got updated this morning to let you download each talk as a .md file, complete with a transcript, code snippets, and other sources so you can point your agent at it! Give it a shot!

Fun to see web browsers still be tinkered with. This ‘tab aging → archiving’ feature is smart. Really leans into actual user behaviour.
The mobile Arc replacement you were waiting for is here. Lens: lens.maximos.work

Again, for those in the back: All great software is fast.
We’ve rebuilt the @Shopify mobile app from the ground up in native for iOS and Android 📱 The new experience brings a fresh design, smoother interactions, and Liquid Glass on iOS. It also launches faster on both platforms, with Android launch time cut by more than half.

The App Store free vs. paid charts are kinda wild. #10 free app - Temu. Makes sense. 211k ratings. A totally insane app but sure. #10 paid app - Goblin tools. wat 😑

Look for Expo Mode. We built it with Google’s new HTML-in-Canvas API. I think we’re one of the first to use it.
