Cup of Couples Product Manifest
A private relationship operating system for structured communication and reflection.
Values
Local-First
All AI capabilities must run entirely on-device, completely offline. Data fully owned by users.
Pattern Recognition
AI should only help identify patterns, not give advice. AI never replaces human responsibility.
Structure over Chaos
Conversations benefit from intentional formats to prevent interruption and emotional flooding.
Presence over Screens
Technology should support human connection without dominating it. Clean visual UI, voice-based interactions preferred.
Principles
Privacy-First
Users control what their partners can see using general rules and per-item toggles.
Requirements
Must utilize optimized local models (e.g., Gemma) for STT, TTS, pattern detection, and search.
Local AI models must be capable of speaker recognition (diarization) to correctly attribute transcripts.
Must sync data directly peer-to-peer via Bluetooth without requiring a remote server or cloud storage.
