PRIORITY
Fictional scenario. Android controls final alert delivery.
03
What deserves to interrupt?
2:30 PM. Three pings. Three different decisions.
Illustrative rules. Trash removes the notification, not the chat. DND depends on Android settings.

Your rules, with room to learn
Choose a match. Set an action. Let the rule do the work.

Customer feedback
Interview Round 1
Freedan Jeremiah
Student, 23, Australia
“I get around 400 notifications a day. Half are Zomato and Swiggy deals I never asked for. I miss Slack messages from my classes because they get buried. If an app could quietly rank what actually matters, I would use it immediately.”
Interview note
Privacy: worried about AI reading message content.
Divya Krishnan
Expeditors, 23, Chennai
“I keep my phone on silent during Meeting and personal times, but then I miss urgent messages from group project members. I wish I could say — only alert me if it is from my project group or my family.”
Interview note
Wants sender-group whitelisting, not just individual contacts.
Two interviews supplied by the project team. Reported experiences, not population estimates.
