Ask one place. Your apps answer.
Your apps hold the details. Personal Context is the one chat that reaches all of them, plus the calendar, reminders and contacts on your own device. Ask a question and the answer comes from your own records. Say what you want done, and it is done, in the app that owns it.

A look inside
One place to ask.
No app switching, no searching, no remembering which app you put it in. You type the question the way you would say it.

How it works
It doesn't just find it. It does it.
"Log 185 for 5 on bench." "Save this line." "Mark that one watched." Personal Context calls the same function that app's own button calls, so the set is really on today's workout when you open Villain Arc, on every device you sign in on. Most assistants can tell you what they found. This one performs the verb, in the app that owns the record.
Every FCT app you run makes this one reach further, and this one makes every app you run worth keeping.

FAQ
Personal Context, answered
01 How does it reach my other apps?
It links their code. Personal Context builds on every FCT app's kit, so asking it to log a set runs the same function Villain Arc's own button runs, and the row syncs to Villain Arc through your account. That is why the rules match and why the write is real, rather than a copy sitting in a second app.
02 What if I only use one FCT app?
Then it reaches that one, plus your calendar, reminders and contacts, and it tells you what is connected. Connecting is one switch per app, and turning an app off does not touch a single record you have in it.
03 Where does the thinking happen?
On your device, by default. A deeper request can escalate to Apple's Private Cloud Compute, Apple's own infrastructure, and then drop back. There is no third-party AI provider wired in and no FCT server in the answer path. Your conversations are kept in your private FCT account so they reach your other devices.
This is how FCT builds.
Personal Context is one of thirteen FCT apps on one account, and the one you talk to: it answers from what the others hold. The same standard goes into what we build for clients.
