Assistant workflows

Useful work under personal authority

Unison carries intent through a reviewable plan

Administrative workflows combine context, deterministic skills, governed inference, and external capabilities to help a person move from a request to a durable outcome.

A request becomes a purposeful plan

A person might ask Unison to prepare for the week, gather documents for an appointment, coordinate a household commitment, research travel, or draft a reply. The plan identifies:

The person can inspect the plan at the level of detail useful to them. A native conversation, visual composition, Braille experience, or another supported modality preserves the same purpose, choices, and control.

Common workflow patterns

Prepare and organize

Bring together schedules, records, commitments, and relevant context for a meeting, appointment, trip, or household activity.

Find and explain

Retrieve documents and trusted sources, compare evidence, preserve citations, and compose an explanation suited to the person and moment.

Coordinate

Propose calendar changes, reminders, follow-ups, shared household plans, and relationship-aware communication.

Draft

Prepare messages, forms, summaries, itineraries, and other artifacts for review through an appropriate native experience.

External content contributes evidence

Email, websites, documents, tool output, and provider responses can inform the plan. They do not establish identity, consent, policy, recipients, or authority. The responsible platform services validate proposed disclosures and consequential actions against the person's current grants and policies.

The tested foundation keeps email in a draft-first route and calendar changes in a proposal-first route. Sending, publishing, booking, purchasing, payment, and high-impact actuation require separately qualified capabilities and the confirmation defined by policy.

Progress and failure remain visible

The experience communicates which work is complete, which provider is pending, what partial result is already useful, and whether any side effect occurred. Provider calls use idempotency controls where supported. Timeouts and partial failures can lead to retry, provider substitution, cancellation, compensation, or a durable partial outcome while preserving the original intent.

Repetition can improve the system

A novel request can use governed inference to assemble a safe route from available capabilities. When similar requests recur, Unison can propose a repeatable skill with explicit inputs, authority, tests, failure handling, and evidence. The person or responsible contributor reviews that proposal before it becomes part of the dependable workflow library.

Success is an outcome a person values

Locally inspectable evidence can measure completed commitments, useful recovery, reduced interruptions, minimized external calls, accessibility, and estimated or person-confirmed time returned. Ranking follows the person's goals and policies. Sponsorship, attention capture, personal-data acquisition, and provider preference carry no authority to change that purpose.
