# 02 — Roadmap & Phases

Iterative build-out, value-first. Each phase is shippable on its own.

## Phase 1 — The Spine (connectivity)

**Focus:** datapath between Memos, n8n and SAIA.
**Milestone:** Nexa replies on Memos and answers simple questions.

- [ ] **1.1 Memos ↔ n8n bridge** — webhook ingress, content filter, comment-back.
- [ ] **1.2 SAIA integration** — call LiteLLM proxy from n8n; chat via Memos comments.
- [ ] **1.3 Git-sync** — periodic export of n8n workflows into this repo.

## Phase 2 — Senses (input channels)

**Focus:** e-mail filter and the Work-vs-Personal router.
**Milestone:** Nexa distinguishes work tasks from personal tasks without manual tags.

- [ ] **2.1 Email butler** — filter & summarize the ~20 daily personal mails.
- [ ] **2.2 RSS morning digest** — curated daily summary in Memos.
- [ ] **2.3 Bluesky antenna** — store liked posts as knowledge snippets.

## Phase 3 — Memory (Qdrant & RAG)

**Focus:** Qdrant + graph layer for retrieval-augmented answers.
**Milestone:** RAG works — Nexa answers from archived notes; images captured today are queued for visual indexing later.

- [ ] **3.1 Text RAG (Path A)** — TEI + `bge-m3`, single Qdrant collection `nexa_knowledge_text`. `#nexa:ask` reads it before answering. Image attachments are *recorded* as `nexa:Note` with `pendingVisualIndex` but not embedded yet.
- [ ] **3.2 Visual collection (Path C)** — swap TEI → infinity, add `jina-clip-v2`, create `nexa_knowledge_visual`, backfill all queued image notes. RAG workflow gets a parallel branch for visual hits. See [09 § "Phase add-on: visual collection"](./09-deployment.md#phase-add-on-visual-collection-phase-32).
- [ ] **3.3 S3 long-term archive** — Qdrant snapshots (both collections) to the S3 server.
- [ ] **3.4 Ontotext GraphDB** — SPARQL pillar; structural queries combined with vector hits in `#nexa:ask`. See [08](./08-graphrag-architecture.md).

## Phase 4 — Motor (organization & action)

**Focus:** calendar integration and time-boxing.
**Milestone:** Nexa proactively proposes morning focus slots in the work calendar.

- [ ] **4.1 Nextcloud Tasks sync** — bidirectional status sync (Memos ↔ NC Tasks).
- [ ] **4.2 Time-boxing agent** — calendar-aware slot suggestions.
- [ ] **4.3 Karakeep curation** — automated review cycle for saved links.

## Phase 5 — Daily integration (polish)

**Focus:** Home Assistant Voice and monitoring.
**Milestone:** Nexa speaks via HA-Voice and surfaces critical system states proactively.

- [ ] **5.1 HA Voice** — Wake-word integration, Wyoming protocol.
- [ ] **5.2 System monitoring** — Proxmox / Backrest alerts into the Memos system feed via ntfy.
