DreamWalk Co-pilot System

[ProjectLiminality]

Vision

AI-powered conversation enhancement system integrated directly into InterBrain's DreamSpace. Enables real-time semantic search during video calls using native macOS transcription, with results shown via spacebar interaction. Creates invitation-based growth where one user enhances communication, demonstrates value through screen sharing, and naturally invites adoption.

Core Innovation

Invitation-Based Growth Model: Single user can derive immediate value during calls, share screen to demonstrate capabilities, then automatically send post-call summary with DreamNode links to call partner. No evangelism required - tool demonstrates value organically.

Technical Approach

• New Layout Mode: Extend spatial layout system with 'copilot' mode
• Reuse Edit Mode UI: Build on existing edit-search layout patterns
• macOS Dictation Integration: Privacy-preserving local transcription with rolling buffer
• Spacebar Interaction: Press-and-hold to reveal/hide semantic search results
• Person-Centric Layout: Call partner at center, semantic results orbit around them

Success Criteria

• Real-time semantic search with <500ms latency during calls
• Smooth spacebar-triggered animations showing/hiding results
• Automatic conversation recording and post-call export
• One-click call initiation from liminal web person selection
• All child specifications completed
• Features integrated and tested
• Epic goals achieved

Development Status

Epic Branch: epic/7-conversational-copilot-system
Specification: #269 - Ready for detailed technical refinement
Features: To be created after specification clarity

User Experience Flow

1. Select person in liminal web → "Start Conversation" command
2. Automatic FaceTime call initiation + copilot mode activation
3. Screen sharing shows black background with person node at center
4. Real-time transcription feeds semantic search (hidden)
5. Spacebar reveals relevant DreamNodes flying in around person
6. Selected nodes can be shown full-screen for sharing
7. Post-call automatic email with links to all shared content

Growth Strategy

Phase 1: Single-user value (enhance your own communication)
Phase 2: Demonstrated value (call partner sees benefit via screen share)
Phase 3: Natural adoption (post-call summary drives installation)
Phase 4: Network effects (both parties using InterBrain for calls)
