Demo · Presence Is Not Proof of Judgment
Three honesty surfaces
Switch Presence, Work, and Judgment. Presence proves life. Work proves retrieval. Judgment opens a Thought process sheet — scripted, not a live model monologue.
Showing Judgment on Mobile
Demo chat
Write a short note on how AI products should show thinking.
A reply is still coming. Open Thought process to inspect judgment.
Thinking stays in the chrome. A living verb proves the product is awake. Tools and sources prove the work. Judgment stays behind a lid. This sentence is the answer.
Thinking stays in the chrome. A living verb proves the product is awake. Tools and sources prove the work. Judgment stays behind a lid. This sentence is the answer.
When to use
Use this pattern when a team is about to ship “thinking” chrome and needs to decide which honesty surface they are funding. Presence for latency personality. Work for tools and citations. Judgment for opt-in rationale — not as a default monologue in the reply.
Anatomy
Three mode tabs drive a shared chat frame. Presence reuses Ask-style spinner verbs. Work reuses the Presto Assistant activity trail: a live search row and the documents it opened. Judgment opens an in-frame Thought process bottom sheet with scripted paragraphs. Device toggle frames desktop versus mobile. No live model API.
Accessibility
Mode changes announce via aria-live. Sheet open and close controls meet 44×44 touch targets. Respect prefers-reduced-motion with instant sheet appearance. Colour is never the only signal for mode.
Reference
Presto Assistant’s activity trail (work), Claude’s mobile Thought process sheet (judgment), and Ask spinner verbs (presence). Companion essay: Presence Is Not Proof of Judgment.
