Faster speech can make a conversation take longer. Diagnose premature turns, design recovery after interruption and protect actions when a caller changes their mind.

Design an interruption policy from urgency and consequence, then measure useful action and attention cost beyond clicks.

Memory helps until it surprises people. Make what the assistant remembers visible, editable and scoped, and treat sensitive categories differently by default.

The law requires the option; a Dutch court required that the choice stick. Build a non-profiled feed people would actually use, explain ranking in plain words and size the engagement cost without inventing an uptake rate.
