1 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:06,920 Hi, I'm Anthony from Mevanu. 2 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:11,745 In our Going Solo update, we followed an experienced copywriter exploring a 3 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,245 business of her own. This week, we're looking at the work behind that 4 00:00:15,260 --> 00:00:19,800 experience through a practical question: what does AI transparency mean? 5 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,400 For someone using an AI assistant, it should be practical. 6 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,120 You should be able to understand what goal the assistant is working toward, 7 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,865 which information it is using, and what a result tells you about your 8 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:35,580 progress. Brava, our AI work partner for Mac, is in development. 9 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,180 Picture our fictional Going Solo copywriter returning to a client draft. 10 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:41,980 She has changed the audience. 11 00:00:42,420 --> 00:00:46,185 The earlier research may still be useful, but her new direction should guide 12 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,545 the next step. She should be able to see which Brief applies and how the next 13 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,600 piece of work connects to the choices she has already made. 14 00:00:53,980 --> 00:00:57,460 That experience brings together two parts of Brava's current build. 15 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:03,040 The first, GK1, connects the Brief, previous work, recorded choices, 16 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:04,740 results and feedback. 17 00:01:05,300 --> 00:01:08,825 The aim is a connected record you can inspect when you need it, while the 18 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,060 conversation stays focused on your work. 19 00:01:11,460 --> 00:01:16,280 The second, GK2, connects that record to your current intention and, 20 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,780 eventually, to an assessment of what helped. 21 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,445 Together, they support continuity with a purpose: carrying relevant work 22 00:01:23,460 --> 00:01:26,060 forward while respecting your latest direction. 23 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,360 This week brought a concrete step. 24 00:01:28,700 --> 00:01:32,925 In a controlled native test, the selected current Brief and intention reached 25 00:01:32,940 --> 00:01:34,860 the step that refines a request. 26 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,880 The draft and selected context were preserved. 27 00:01:38,180 --> 00:01:42,300 That builds on earlier checks of saving and reopening intention and history. 28 00:01:42,620 --> 00:01:47,025 The intended benefit is less repeated explanation and a clearer connection 29 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,740 between what you asked for and what happens next. 30 00:01:50,060 --> 00:01:52,620 The test establishes that bounded connection. 31 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,165 The complete everyday experience, using real services, still needs 32 00:01:57,180 --> 00:02:01,680 qualification. We also checked a smaller detail with a larger consequence. 33 00:02:02,260 --> 00:02:07,165 In a controlled display test, hidden, minimized, off-screen or stale advice 34 00:02:07,180 --> 00:02:11,180 did not count as presented; the current visible state did. 35 00:02:11,540 --> 00:02:15,225 A later assessment should distinguish advice that was presented from advice 36 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,000 you never had a chance to consider. 37 00:02:17,500 --> 00:02:21,345 Being visible still doesn't establish that you read it, chose it or benefited 38 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,405 from it. That is why outcome evaluation matters. 39 00:02:24,420 --> 00:02:29,365 Finishing a draft, accepting a suggestion and making progress toward your goal 40 00:02:29,380 --> 00:02:30,820 are different things. 41 00:02:31,380 --> 00:02:34,680 Brava's evaluation work must keep those distinctions intact. 42 00:02:35,020 --> 00:02:37,240 Measured usefulness remains ahead of us. 43 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,300 The full GK1 journey also remains open. 44 00:02:40,780 --> 00:02:44,485 Our latest diagnostic has passed independent source review, and its signed 45 00:02:44,500 --> 00:02:46,440 build has now passed on M1. 46 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,705 The new diagnostic files compiled and the assembled candidate preserved its 47 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,965 signatures. Independent artifact review and the native behavior checks are the 48 00:02:54,980 --> 00:02:58,940 next steps. That will help us investigate where the connected journey stops. 49 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,880 We also ran two of our development conversations through Paxel today. 50 00:03:03,180 --> 00:03:06,780 Its automated assessment called us “The Architect” both times. 51 00:03:07,140 --> 00:03:11,125 We’ll take it. Next, we're taking that signed diagnostic through independent 52 00:03:11,140 --> 00:03:15,445 artifact review before the separately approved native checks, continuing the 53 00:03:15,460 --> 00:03:19,005 connected evidence journey, and working toward goal-bound outcomes and 54 00:03:19,020 --> 00:03:20,265 independent evaluation. 55 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:25,640 The user-facing aim is clear: relevant context, understandable choices 56 00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:28,240 and an honest account of what the work achieved. 57 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,260 So, what does AI transparency mean? 58 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,905 For us, it means understanding the goal and context behind the work, being 59 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:40,025 able to inspect the relevant choices and results, and seeing clearly what 60 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,445 remains uncertain. We still need the complete everyday journey and independent 61 00:03:44,460 --> 00:03:48,765 outcome evaluation before we can honestly say how well Brava delivers that 62 00:03:48,780 --> 00:03:50,940 experience or how much it helps. 63 00:03:51,460 --> 00:03:55,540 Have an idea? Drop a prompt, comment, suggestion, or question. 64 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:57,285 Mevanu. Just. 65 00:03:57,300 --> 00:03:58,060 Smarter.
