Pond Intelligence

Pond Intelligence is the set of features through which Pond navigates and utilises the relational layer you build — surfacing connections you might miss, contributing to Thread development, and discovering lines of inquiry running through your collections. The richer your relational layer (i.e., the more Connections you make), the better these features become.

​

Fragment Suggestions

Open an Artefact and choose Suggest passages, and Pond reads the whole document to propose passages worth marking as Fragments. They arrive in two groups:

• Connects to your threads — passages scored against the Threads you’re already developing, so a new source feeds straight into work in progress.
• Worth marking · beyond your threads — passages that stand out on their own, surfaced so your reading isn’t confined to the Threads you already keep.

Accept the ones that resonate and they’re marked to your library; dismiss the rest. The act of marking stays yours — Pond proposes, you decide. Fragment suggestions are a membership feature and work on any Artefact with body text. See Pricing.

​

Connection Suggestions

When you open the Connections panel for a Fragment, Pond suggests other Fragments that might be related. The Suggested Connections list consists of Fragments that are either:

1. Semantically similar to the Fragment you’re viewing (via vector embeddings)
2. Related by one hop of explicit connections — i.e., explicit connections of your explicitly connected Fragments

Results from the explicit connections graph are always placed at the top of the Suggested Connections list.

​

Thread Development Suggestions

​

In the Suggestions sidebar

In every Thread workspace, the right-hand sidebar surfaces Fragments and Threads from elsewhere in your Library that might help you develop the Thread in focus. Each suggestion includes a short explanation of why Pond thinks it’s relevant to the Thread.

​

On the Home screen

The Home screen organises Pond’s suggestions into a feed with up to three tabs:

• Inbox — newly added Artefacts grouped by today, yesterday, and the past week. Each card carries typed resonance hints — for example echoes Orality and the myth of the given, or may extend Enactivism and related ideas — drawn from your existing Threads, Fragments, and other Artefacts.
• Threads — appears when you have active Threads with development suggestions, surfacing those suggestions across all of them.
• Discovered — appears when Thread Discovery is enabled and there are newly proposed Threads to review.

​

Resonances

Click any Artefact in the Inbox to open its Resonances panel. It shows the specific Fragments and Thread connections Pond has identified between the new Artefact and the rest of your Pond — each one with an excerpt and a short summary of why it matters. Resonances are how a new piece of reading enters into conversation with what you’ve already been thinking. They give you a way in beyond reading the Artefact end-to-end.

​

Thread Discovery

Once your Library reaches a sufficient size, Pond will proactively discover Threads running through your collections. These appear as Thread suggestions that you can materialise. An example of a Thread discovered by Pond
