# AI-Native Product Surfaces — Master Index

> **Definition:** AI is any device that perceives its environment and constraints to take actions that maximize its chance of successfully achieving its goals.

> Scaffold index for `ai-native-product-surfaces`. Add compiled pages here as they are created.

## Concepts

- [[concepts/agent-output-decision-artifacts|Agent Output Decision Artifacts]] — Compress verbose agent output into concise, visual, source-backed decision artifacts with explicit next actions and feedback controls.
- [[concepts/ai-native-problem-framing-framework|AI-Native Problem Framing Framework]] — Defines environment/actions/goal/constraints for AI-native product surfaces.
- [[concepts/interaction-mode-routing|Interaction Mode Routing]] — Refactor lens for choosing direct UI, agentic delegation, generative UI, or stable truth/routing surfaces.
- [[concepts/j-space-global-workspace|J-Space as Global Workspace]] — Anthropic's J-space / Jacobian lens concept: a verbalizable representation subspace that behaves like a functional global workspace for report, modulation, flexible reasoning, broadcast, and alignment-auditing caveats.
- [[concepts/material-loop-and-glass-interfaces|Material Loop and Glass Interfaces]] — Agency/authorship lens for keeping AI-shaped work inspectable, steerable, interruptible, and traceable.
- [[concepts/taste-requires-contact|Taste Requires Contact]] — Judgment-building lens for firsthand experience, precise vocabulary, active imitation, comparison, curation, and creative risk; paired with Side Doors as the public-legibility layer.
- [[concepts/product-management-as-system-steering|Product Management as System Steering]] — PM operating lens for timely decisions, gapless ownership, adaptive influence, scope-first tradeoffs, and ecosystem incentive alignment.
- [[concepts/role-aligned-deployed-project-proof|Role-Aligned Deployed Project Proof]] — Project-selection heuristic for turning a target role or job description into a live, owned, evidence-backed artifact that demonstrates role understanding.
- [[concepts/side-quest-validation-loop|Side-Quest Validation Loop]] — Low-pressure, timeboxed loop for turning an idea into a tiny useful public experiment and letting behavioral evidence earn further commitment.
- [[concepts/video-retrieve-then-verify-loop|Video Retrieve-Then-Verify Loop]] — Video AI architecture pattern: retrieve high-recall candidate moments, then verify with timestamped evidence; for gameplay, visual-only is low-trust and structured signals matter.
- [[concepts/verified-video-answer-surfaces|Verified Video Answer Surfaces]] — Product-surface pattern for video apps/workbenches that return clips, confidence, evidence, and recall boundaries with AI as assistant, not source of truth.
- [[concepts/world-model-control-surfaces|World Model Control Surfaces]] — Grounded-AI control/review lens for exposing state, actions, predictions, objectives, guardrails, evidence, and the recommended next safe step.

## Entities

- [[entities/i-know-kungfu|I-know-kungfu]] — Active local-first Cookbook wiki serving project for growing a user's knowledge base with bounded, agent-readable wikis.
- [[entities/job-edge|Job Edge]] — Live job-search edge dashboard prototype using scheduled Ashby refresh, freshness, geography, fit, and LinkedIn-crowding signals to prioritize applications.
- [[entities/j-space-replay|J-Space-Replay]] — Working public demo for replaying Qwen2.5-VL logit/J-lens readouts over video with explicit demo-quality interpretability boundaries.
- [[entities/lky-avatar|LKY Avatar / Voice Persona Stack]] — Working local fictional-interview product combining the LKY reasoning adapter, tuned watermarked voice, animated portrait, audited per-turn fact retrieval, transcript/eval surfaces, and explicit live-proof boundaries.
- [[entities/shifu-app|Shifu]] — Local-first video workbench/proof question with implementation chain complete; visual gameplay thesis under review after visual-only misses, next heavy tests wait for the repaired 5070 Ti desktop.
- [[entities/myabode|myAbode]] — Parked real-estate AI CRM case study focused on prepared next actions and adoption constraints.
- [[entities/planned-program-intel|Planned Program Intel]] — Done decision-routing and institutional-memory prototype for enterprise event programs.

## Summaries

## Syntheses

- [[syntheses/side-doors-make-useful-work-legible|Side Doors: Make Useful Work Legible]] — Illustrated synthesis of problem-first opportunity search, public proof, five story examples, and verb-first taste/distribution; linked to Taste Requires Contact as the judgment-formation layer.
