# 01 — Vision & Scope

## Vision

Nexa is the central nervous system of a personal IT setup: an intelligent middleware sitting between input sources (Memos, e-mail, RSS, Karakeep, Bluesky), knowledge stores (Obsidian, Qdrant, Nextcloud) and organization tools (Nextcloud Calendar/Tasks).

### Core goals

- Cognitive offload — Nexa sorts, filters and proposes; it doesn't just store.
- Context separation — clean AI-driven split between Work and Personal.
- Single point of interaction — Memos is the primary surface ("voice & ear").
- Knowledge synergy — link ephemeral memos to deep notes via semantic search.

## Scope

### In-scope

- Triaging ~20 personal e-mails per day.
- Routing tasks to the right Nextcloud list (Work vs. Personal).
- Suggesting time-boxes in the work calendar.
- Long-term memory in Qdrant (and optionally a graph DB).
- Aggregating critical IT alerts (Proxmox, Backrest) into a Memos system feed.

### Out-of-scope

- Direct access to work IT (work mail, work servers).
- Active document editing (metadata extraction only).
- Replacing specialist UIs (Arcane / Dozzle / Portainer for containers).

## Success metrics

- Reduced mail interaction — less time in the mail app, more on the Nexa digest.
- Calendar fill-rate — focus slots auto-blocked on the work calendar.
- Search latency — old memos / Obsidian notes resurface instantly via `#nexa:ask`.
