Desktop Agents Can Control Apps but Lack the WHY - Cross-Channel Context Matters

·2 min read

Desktop agents can click buttons and fill forms, but without context from emails, meetings, and messages, they do not know why they should. Cross-channel context indexing is the missing piece.

MEMORY.md as an Injection Vector - The Security Risk of Implicitly Trusted Config Files

·2 min read

CLAUDE.md and MEMORY.md files are loaded every session and trusted implicitly by AI agents. This makes them a potential prompt injection vector that most setups do not protect against.
