Many products grow by adding.
More options. More settings. More intelligence.
But some of the most beloved tools succeed by doing the opposite.
They remove decisions. They remove noise. They remove the need to think at all.
As systems become more capable, the highest-value feature is often restraint.
A tool that knows when not to act. An interface that leaves space. A system that doesn't demand attention.
In an environment full of intelligent machines, the rarest experience is quiet.
That's the value worth protecting.
