Glossary

An exobrain source is a data provider. It integrates with some external service, and produces Measurements. These can be events on social media, inbox counts, check-ins, call-backs, or anything else which is bringing data into the system.

An exobrain sink is a data consumer. It listens for intents and makes them happen. This may be sending a tweet, recording a TODO item, sending a notification, updating a data-point, etc.

An exobrain action bridges sources and sinks. It listens for measurements, and produces intents. These are the most common components, and also the easiest to write.
