The Brain / Capabilities / The fifteen verbs
ACTFifteen things it does.
The list only gets shorter.
Fifteen verbs are the whole of what WorkElate Chief, the Brain, can be asked to do. Adding an app never adds a verb.
A new app goes live, nobody is retrained
The app describes itself
It tells the Brain what it holds, what it records and what can be done to it.
New objects answer to old sentences
Last week’s kind of question about a thing that did not exist on Friday resolves, with no command to learn.
The first send or delete stops
Delete and send stop because of what they are, so the new app’s first one waits for a click, day one.
Three properties a CIO cares about
The count only falls
A check on every release holds the count at fifteen and lets it fall, never rise.
Apps declare; the Brain is never taught
Each app announces what it holds and records; the judgment is shared.
A small vocabulary is reviewable
Fifteen verbs and one stop is a review a person can finish; every send, delete and share is listed one by one.
Three honest limits
Fifteen verbs is not fifteen things; each reaches many actions.
The apps it reaches today are our own.
A new app still has to say what it holds.
