What Lyric knows
Patterns
Patterns are the regularities Lyric has learned about how you work: your schedule, how you communicate, when you focus, your meetings, the people you work with and how often you change between kinds of work. Lyric writes your patterns from what it observes; you can read each one and the evidence behind it.
Categories
| Category | What Lyric learns |
|---|---|
| Work schedule | When your working day usually begins and ends, and its regular stops |
| Communication | When and how quickly you usually reply, and through which channels |
| Focus | When you usually do uninterrupted work, and for how long |
| Meetings | How many meetings you usually have, when, and how long they run |
| People | Who you work with most, and how your work with them usually goes |

What a pattern shows
| Part | What it shows |

| How often | How often the pattern has held |
| Strength | How steadily it holds, from one bar (only starting to show) to four (holds nearly every time) |
| Category | One of the categories above |
| Last confirmed | When Lyric last saw the pattern hold |
| How it usually goes | The pattern drawn as it usually happens, for example a day's routine in order, replies by hour, or what recurs on each day of the week |
| Recent change | How the pattern has moved lately, if it has |
| Based on | The entries in your context the pattern rests on |
| How Lyric uses this | How the pattern informs Lyric's work for you |
Recent changes
When a pattern moves, Lyric records what changed, from what to what, and what it observed. Each change carries Lyric's note: what Lyric has changed in its own work because of it, what the change may affect, or what Lyric suggests.
Insights
Lyric draws insights from your patterns. The most important appear on the Overview.
Where patterns come from
Patterns are drawn from your context: the evidence and memories Lyric holds from your connected applications, devices and conversations. Lyric writes patterns and you read them; they cannot be edited. A pattern changes as new evidence arrives, and the change appears under Recent changes.
Patterns and usage
Patterns do not count toward storage or any other allowance.
