Designing memory-first dashboards

Written by: Mycellia Product

A memory-first dashboard starts with the actions users need most: upload, search, and chat are always one click away.

Context lives up top—workspace, scopes, and model choices stay visible so every query is grounded in the right guardrails.

Guided setup tiles nudge teams to finish ingestion and indexing so they can reach their first compliant answer quickly.

File search sits beside chat with the same filter set; users can pivot between structured search and natural questions without losing context.

Recent files and status chips show what finished indexing, what is in queue, and where errors need attention—no hidden states.

We surface metrics that matter: indexed documents, scope coverage, and teammate activity so leaders see adoption and gaps.

Cards are responsive and keyboard-friendly, keeping accessibility intact while preserving dense enterprise context.

Every component is designed to scale with governance—filters, scopes, and audit trails are built-in, not bolted on later.
