Guide and Superboard are two modes of one You.one product
Some people need a conversation that helps them get clear. Others need the map. The product direction serves both without making the Board a prerequisite or turning Guide into a separate application.
Direction—not available today: Guide is complete, not a funnel, while Board reveals optional depth into the same durable state.
Available today is Board-first. The underlying account, data, and Ava/Memory foundation is unified for Founder dogfood; the customer-facing Guide/Board mode switch is not shipped.
The Owner runs the current Board structure and keeps the commitments, consequential decisions, and authority.
Direction
The central idea: two modes, one You.one
Guide and Superboard are intended to be two complete modes of You.one: Guide offers conversational guidance, while Superboard offers the optional visual Board and Command Center into the same person, Ava, authority, and durable work. Guide is not a simpler entry point that funnels everyone into Board. This unified experience is Direction and is not available today.
Direction
Two experiences, one continuity
Guide mode begins with paths, choices, useful defaults, recommendation cards, voice, and room for a messy dump. Board mode reveals Boards, Cards, Rooms, Stage, Chat, Pulse, Activity, search, and multi-thread visibility.
The destination is one person, one Ava, one Memory Spine, one authority model, and one durable state beneath both modes.
The Board is optional depth, not optional truth
A person should be able to complete useful outcomes through guidance without becoming a kanban administrator. The resulting commitment, artifact, or decision still needs durable identity and a way to return.
When the map becomes useful, opening Board mode should reveal the same work rather than create a second copy.
Available today
Available today: the Board-first foundation
Current Superboard is Board-first. One signed-in Owner can create and switch Boards, work in Card Rooms, use Stage and Chat, see Pulse and Activity, search, and direct Ava with @Ava. The current Ava foundation remains bounded and mostly deterministic/local.
The complete guided experience, direct mode switch, and customer-facing cross-mode Memory Spine retrieval are not available today. The underlying Unified Core foundation is live for Founder dogfood.
What remains with the Owner
Today, the signed-in Owner creates and switches Boards, works in Card Rooms, uses Stage and Chat, reads Pulse and Activity, searches, and directs Ava with @Ava. Across the product Direction, the Owner still owns the mission, commitments, consequential decisions, and real authority; choosing Guide mode should remove interface overhead, not transfer that responsibility.
Why the distinction matters
Calling Guide a lightweight front door would make people who prefer conversation feel like incomplete customers. Calling Board a separate product would fracture continuity. One product can offer different depths without ranking the people who choose them.
Where this fits in You.one
You.one is the product. Superboard is its Board view and Command Center. Guide is You.one’s conversational mode, and Ava is the continuous relationship across both. This page focuses on one part of that product anatomy without turning Superboard into a separate product.
