Minimal AI · next
One window onto your assistants.
The next Minimal app is a window onto the web assistants you already use, with one thin row of tabs to switch between them and nothing else around the page. It is in development, and Minimal AI is its working name.
A drawing of the window as the rules describe it, not a capture: one thin row of tabs, and under it the assistant's own page. There is no capture yet.
- Around the page
- The one-pixel frame Windows draws, and one thin row of tabs
- Settings
- None
- Loads
- The page you open, and nothing else
- Status
- In development, no date. A first prototype exists.
What the rules make of it.
Zero chrome, with the one written exception: an app whose content is several pages at once may have a single thin row of tabs, because switching between them is the content. Nothing else around the page: no caption, toolbar, menu bar, status bar, sidebar or scrollbars.
No network of its own. An app that shows a website loads that website and nothing else. There is no account with us, and nothing of ours between you and the page.
Not an assistant itself. Minimal PDF will never get an AI panel, and Minimal AI is the other way round: under its one row of tabs, the window is the assistant's own page.
Meanwhile
Start with the first app.
Minimal PDF is the same idea applied to one document: a window that is just the page. Minimal AI is held to the same seven rules, and this page will say what it does and does not do once it ships.
