Clarity Layer
A reading workspace that adapts to the reader, and always explains why.
Problem
Reading interfaces assume one kind of reader. People with different cognitive and learning needs adapt to the text, instead of the text adapting to them.
Approach
- Onboarding with support levels and presets, plus font size, spacing and theme settings with a live preview.
- Reading support: bionic emphasis, intelligent chunking and glossary support.
- Rule-based adaptation from explicit preferences and light behavioural signals.
- Scrutability: a panel showing “your model”, “why this changed” and controls to override it.
