Framework
Fragmentation to Narrative Model
AI can structure scattered artifacts into coherent shared narratives.
How it works
- 1Map your product's data: are you collecting fragments or building narratives?
- 2AI can weave fragments — photos, voice, messages — into coherent stories. Explore this as a product layer.
- 3Shared narratives between multiple participants create emotional ownership that single-user features cannot.
