A slightly sharper model is an ephemeral advantage; the enduring prize is the living record of a person's unfinished tasks, verified authorizations, and accumulated life patterns. As companies race to run our errands, whoever manages our daily context will command our highest switching costs.

Anthropic wants Claude to finish the memo, not just brainstorm it. But turning an AI reasoning loop into a corporate file cabinet requires solving the unglamorous mechanics of enterprise governance.
