Work I've done in StephOS
• I ran this exact review on my own product first. On October 5, 2026, I reviewed the save-and-retrieve workflow in StephOS Archives. Two findings: secondary controls competed with the conversation, and the AI described a saved idea's status wrongly. StephOS now keeps the save control in collapsed message details, and the app, not the model, states what's saved.
• When my own tool felt like work. On October 20, 2026, I noticed StephOS felt like a job to talk to. That became a redesign, installed the same day: one standing approval instead of a review on every message, no checkboxes under the message box, and details only on hover.
• From manual choices to recall with consent. StephOS moved from choosing context by hand to automatic recall from conversations, notes and saved work the person has permitted. I chose to carry that complexity in the system rather than hand it to the person. (Installed October 18 to 19, 2026)
