Principles · Product boundaries

Useful AI begins with boundaries you can see.

Weave is designed around local ownership, inspectable evidence, explicit permission, and knowledge that remains useful after a conversation ends.

01

Local ownership by default

Signing in does not automatically upload a local knowledge base.

02

Sources before confidence

A persuasive answer is not enough; important claims should remain inspectable.

03

Permission before action

Agent and MCP actions must stay inside declared, revocable capability boundaries.

04

Knowledge should compound

Highlights, annotations, explanations, and conversations should reconnect to the document rather than disappear into isolated popovers.
