Flow & Interactions
The computer-first application is organized into three main screens: the dashboard (which serves as the home page), the search screen, and the AI setting screen. Navigation is via a navbar centered at the top, or alternatively via computer scroll shortcuts.
The UI of the service is designed to be minimally invasive, blending almost like a widget with one's computer desktop.

AI Model
1.  The system detects all notifications, both desktop and mobile, filtering out work and personal ones.
2.  The system is able to
synthesise entire long conversations into a single message.
3.  The communication channels scattered across different social networks are grouped together and aggregated in a single dashboard.
Taxonomy

Notifications are classified and prioritised on the basis of a taxonomy. It is a completely flexible scheme, capable of calibrating itself according to the user's specific needs.

System Integration

Bottleneck's goal is to be invisible and minimise invasiveness for the user. For this reason, the system incorporates the host operating system through fonts and graphic elements.
