Solaris as a Unified AI Platform — Complete Integration Guide

The Vision: One AI to Replace All Software

Traditional SaaS tools are fragmented—project management in one app, documentation in another, design tools elsewhere, and learning platforms somewhere else. Solaris changes everything by providing a single AI-powered workspace where every tool has full context of your entire project.

The Unified Context Engine

What Makes Solaris Different

Shared Memory: Every tool knows what you've done in other tools
Conversation Continuity: AI remembers discussions across all features
Project-Wide Context: Files, tasks, wiki pages, and designs all inform each other
AI Orchestration: One AI assistant that works across all your tools

The Context Flow

AI Chat ↔ Project Tasks ↔ Wiki Pages ↔ Visual Designs ↔ Learning ↔ Creative Assets
     ↓              ↓            ↓              ↓           ↓            ↓
    All tools share the same project context and AI memory
