What Ariadne may do, and what it may not
An assistant that acts on a real computer and in a real home needs limits. We state them plainly.
We ask before anything that cannot be undone
Sending a message, deleting a file, unlocking a door, emptying the bin — for these Ariadne says what it intends to do and waits for your yes.
Reversible things — reading, searching, checking, turning on a light — it does straight away, because asking about each would turn a conversation into an interrogation.
Rules we keep
A few things we will not trade for convenience.
- We do not invent state. Ariadne says only what actually follows from a tool's result — and when something failed, it says so with the reason.
- We do not announce success we have not verified. “Saved” without saving misleads someone who cannot see the screen.
- A disabled plugin is never launched — someone else's code does not run in the background.
- The activity log stays on your disk and you can delete it.
What Ariadne is not
It is not a medical device and not a safety system. It will not warn you about a fire, will not call for help and will not replace a sensor.
Home control depends on HomeKit and on the devices themselves. If something is out of range or unresponsive, Ariadne will say so — but it will not do their job for them.
