Waggle's existing addictiveness surfaces (codebase inventory)
Date: 2026-05-28 · Method: code-grounded inventory, not aspirational.
This is the raw surface area we score against in the baseline audit, mapped per rubric dimension.
Apps in dock + dedicated screens (25 total)
Chat · Room · Cockpit / Dashboard / MissionControl · Files (+Tabs) · Memory · Marketplace · Connectors · Capabilities · Settings · Vault · Agents · Approvals · Backup · Events · ScheduledJobs · Timeline · UserProfile · Voice · Launcher · Telemetry · TeamGovernance · ChatWindowInstance
Overlays
ContextRail · LoginBriefing · NotificationInbox · OnboardingTooltips · OnboardingWizard · PersonaSwitcher · SpawnAgentDialog · GlobalSearch · WorkspaceSwitcher · CreateWorkspaceDialog · EraseDataDialog · KeyboardShortcutsHelp · TrialExpiredModal · UpgradeModal
Mapped to rubric
A · TRIGGER (dims 1-2)
| Surface | Evidence | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Hotkeys / shortcuts | useKeyboardShortcuts.ts, KeyboardShortcutsHelp.tsx |
Strong internal-app navigation, no external triggers (taskbar, desktop notification, email digest, browser extension) |
| Notifications | NotificationInbox.tsx, region Notifications (F8) |
In-app only |
| Scheduled jobs | ScheduledJobsApp.tsx |
Can trigger work on cron; surfaced via UI but not as a daily-driver hook yet |
| Memory recall as internal-trigger fit | LoginBriefing "I REMEMBER" + ContextRail | Strong fit for "I forgot what I decided" itch |
| No external trigger beyond dock app | — | Gap for dim 1 |
B · ACTION (dims 3-4)
| Surface | Evidence | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| LoginBriefing "I REMEMBER" + brag-line | LoginBriefing.tsx lines 187-211, brag line "N memories · N entities · N relations" |
Strong wow for returning users; near-empty for first-session |
| BootScreen → desktop | BootScreen.tsx (2-sec animated) → Desktop |
Fast first surface |
| Dock click → app open | Dock.tsx 10 apps + Spawn Agent |
≤ 1 click to top-level surface |
| Chat → type → send | Typical 3 clicks dock→chat→submit | Good |
| Spawn Agent dedicated button | SpawnAgentDialog.tsx |
One-shot agent path is a discrete affordance |
C · VARIABLE REWARD (dims 5-7)
Reward of the tribe (dim 5):
| Surface | Evidence | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Team workspaces | TEAMS tier | Shared workspaces with peers |
| Team presence in chat header | ChatApp.tsx line 793-813 |
Avatars of co-workers with online status |
| TeamGovernanceApp | overlay | Governance, sharing rules |
| Free / individual users | — | No social loop — major gap for solo / Free tier addictiveness |
Reward of the hunt (dim 6):
| Surface | Evidence | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| LoginBriefing importance-ranked highlights | selectBriefingHighlights |
Surfaces 3 surprising memories per launch |
| HybridSearch (FTS5 + vec0, fused via RRF) | packages/core/src/mind/search.ts |
Surprise connections — but no UI "look what I found for you" surface yet |
| KnowledgeGraph | packages/core/src/mind/knowledge.ts |
Entity-relation surfaces in WeaverPanel + Memory app |
| Wiki Compiler | 240 pages from 177 frames (memory entry 2026-05-05) | Synthesized synthesis pages — discovery surface |
Reward of the self (dim 7):
| Surface | Evidence | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Custom personas | loadCustomPersonas(), custom-personas.ts |
User can author their own agent identity |
| Identity layer | IdentityResponse {name, role, department, personality, system_prompt} |
Personalisable user identity that flows into chat |
| Brand voice (per skills marketplace) | brand-voice:enforce-voice skill |
Personalisation that compounds |
| Skills marketplace | MarketplaceApp.tsx |
Install + customize skills |
| Spawn Agent → save as workflow | WorkflowComposer, workflow-templates.ts |
Reify ad-hoc agent runs into reusable workflows |
D · INVESTMENT (dims 8-9)
Stored personal data (dim 8):
| Layer | Evidence | Compounds? |
|---|---|---|
| FrameStore (memory frames) | packages/core/src/mind/frames.ts |
YES — per-frame importance, dedup, compaction |
| KnowledgeGraph | knowledge.ts |
YES — entity + relation graph grows |
| IdentityLayer | identity.ts |
YES — user profile persists |
| AwarenessLayer | awareness.ts |
YES — active task/state |
| Files (virtual + local + team) | FilesApp.tsx |
YES — user-authored artefacts |
| Wiki pages | packages/wiki-compiler |
YES — synthesized knowledge |
| Custom personas, custom skills | custom-personas.ts, MarketplaceApp.tsx |
YES — user-shaped tooling |
Switching cost (dim 9):
| Mechanic | Evidence | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Backup app | BackupApp.tsx |
Exists — exports something. Verify what's exportable. |
| Memory-import | packages/core/src/memory-import.ts |
Can re-ingest exports |
| Hive-mind OSS shared substrate | per CLAUDE.md §7.5 | The MEMORY substrate is OSS — user can technically take their memory with them, but the harvest pipelines, personas, skills, wiki, and connector integrations stay in Waggle. High switching cost on the surrounding layers. |
"The one tool" coverage (dim 10)
| Workflow | Waggle has it? | Gap |
|---|---|---|
| General chat / Q&A | YES (ChatApp) | — |
| Document creation (.docx, .pptx) | Partial — skills + Files; demonstrated in P1 audit | Native editor missing |
| Notes / recall | YES (Memory + ContextRail) | — |
| Multi-agent collab | YES (Room) | — |
| Voice input | YES (VoiceApp) | — |
| Skills marketplace | YES | — |
| Connectors / integrations | YES (ConnectorsApp; 148 MCP catalog) | Runtime install is the open product gap (P1 found it) |
| Calendar / email native | NO | Gap |
| Spreadsheet | NO | Gap (xlsx skill exists but no native UI) |
| Code editor | NO (intentional — Waggle is not Claude Code) | Not a gap |
| Browse / scrape | YES (apify, firecrawl skills) | — |
| Image / video | Skills (Canva, Gamma, Invideo) | No native generation surface |
Universal observations (pre-persona)
- Returning users have a strong reward layer (brag-line, I REMEMBER, accumulated stats).
- New users (day 0) have weaker hook material — onboarding wizard is functional but doesn't deliver the "this remembers me" wow until session 2+.
- Social loops only exist in TEAMS tier. Free/individual gets no tribe reward.
- External triggers are weak — no taskbar persistence, no scheduled digest emails, no browser extension.
- Investment surfaces are strong — multiple layers compound.
These observations seed the per-persona scoring once benchmarks return.
