Your account, under your control
Everything about accounts got built the way we'd want it as users:
- Sign in with Google or Apple. No password to create — Minerva never stores one.
- Sign out anywhere, cleanly. Sign out on iPhone, Watch, or Mac; sign back in and Minerva resumes with no setup. When your phone is signed out, the Watch simply won't record rather than losing anything.
- Delete means what it says. Deleting your account removes Minerva's own copies of your data. The files in your accounts — recordings in your Drive, notes in your Notion, items already on your lists — stay yours and stay untouched.
- Answers follow you. Answer one of Minerva's questions on any device and it syncs everywhere, applied to the item within seconds.
- Smarter time reading, fewer questions. "Dinner at 5" now lands at 5 PM the way a person would read it — and Minerva only asks a question when it genuinely needs to. It still never invents a time you didn't say.
All of this is built and in founder testing while Minerva is pre-public.

Minerva learns how you talk
A one-time "getting to know you" phase — about twenty short questions, answered on your own time from any device — now teaches Minerva your personal phrasing and filing style: where your kind of item belongs, whether a spoken time should be locked in, and what you mean by words like "morning." It never holds up a real item.

From minutes to seconds
Processing became near-instant: uploading a recording now triggers processing within seconds, and in live use it's about half a minute from tapping "stop" to the item sitting on your list. Minerva also got its face — the Editorial Cream and Minerva Blue look, with the hand-drawn "m" mark, now runs across the apps and this site.

The foundation
The core of Minerva, built and proven in daily founder use:
- Voice memos transcribed automatically, then actually read — tasks, events, and notes pulled out of even a rambling memo, each filed separately.
- Filed into your own apps: tasks to Google Tasks, events to Google Calendar, notes to Notion.
- Questions, not guesses: when something's ambiguous, Minerva asks instead of assuming.
- Your notes kept verbatim, in your own first-person words.
- Processing moved fully to the cloud — it works even when your computer is asleep or off.
- Native iPhone and Apple Watch recorder apps built, feeding the same pipeline (in founder testing).
