A fact is not an order
ANVL now learns about your company from what you say in a conversation — and never from what you order. The line between the two is the whole feature, and it is worth explaining why.
Since this week, the box on Home is a conversation. You can think out loud in it, ask for advice, and talk a pitch through slide by slide before anything is built. And as of today, ANVL listens to that conversation for things worth remembering about your company.
That second part needed a rule, and the rule is the point of this post.
What "remembering" means here
Say, in passing, we are 34 employees or we are BF9K certified, and a card appears: Should I save this about you? One row per fact, ticked, with a chip for what it is about. You press Save 2 facts or Not now. Whatever you keep goes into Superbrain under From your conversations, with a link back to the message you said it in, and from then on it is available to every deck where the subject fits.
Available, not imposed. A warranty figure reaches a slide about quality. It does not reach a post about company cars, however true it is. The memory is a list ANVL may draw on, not a list it has to empty into everything.
The line
Here is the thing that makes or breaks a feature like this. In the same conversation where you mention your headcount, you will also say the budget is 300 000 kr, it launches on 12 November, four slides, it is for the finance department. Those are exact. They are stated with confidence. They are precisely the kind of thing a memory would love to keep.
And they must never be kept.
Every one of them is true of the deck you are building right now and of nothing else. Save the budget as a fact about your company and it turns up, sooner or later, in a pitch about something entirely different — with a source attached, which is worse than a guess, because it looks confirmed.
So ANVL asks one question of every candidate: would this still be true if the deck we are talking about were never built? Headcount, yes. Certification, yes. A result for 2025, yes, with the year attached. A budget, a date, a slide count, the audience for this order — no. Those stay in the conversation and in the deck, and the card says so in a line underneath, so you can see what was left out and why.
After a whole conversation about one order, the card will usually not appear at all. That is not the feature failing. That is the feature.
Why not just let you type facts in
Because nobody does. A form titled Facts about your company is filled in on day one and never again, and what it holds is what you thought to write down before you had a reason to. The conversation is where the reasons are. You say you are 34 people because you are explaining why a deck should mention the team, and that is exactly the moment the fact is fresh, specific and yours.
But a memory that helps itself to everything you say is a different thing, and worse. The card is the middle way: ANVL notices, and you decide.
Preferences are not facts either
Never put the price in the headline. Shorter decks for the board. We say customer, not client. Those are true of you too, but they are not facts — they are how you want the work done. They get no card. ANVL notes them in the log it already reads before every generation, and confirms in a line that it has.
What you see, and what you can undo
Everything saved is on the Superbrain page. Each fact shows when it was confirmed and where it came from, and has three actions: confirm it again, edit the wording, or remove it. A fact for a given year, or one nobody has confirmed in twelve months, changes from green to amber and asks whether it still holds. Nothing here is recalculated behind your back — it is a list you wrote, one line at a time, by saying yes.
If you are evaluating ANVL: this is the shape of how it learns about you. From what you say, with your permission, one fact at a time — and never from the order in front of it.
