+# Version A: Explore First
+
+Direction: `BibiGPT x mobile creator app`
+
+This version optimizes for the fastest path from raw material to reusable knowledge.
+
+## Product thesis
+
+- User intent starts with a single material input, not assistant configuration.
+- The app should feel like `paste link -> learn style -> save to knowledge base`.
+- Assistant creation is still present, but secondary.
+
+## Key decisions
+
+- `Explore` is the hero tab and the default opening screen.
+- Three inputs are elevated equally: video link, upload video, paste text.
+- The main feedback loop is a clean processing timeline instead of a complex dashboard.
+- Knowledge bases are shown as lightweight chips so the user can move fast.
+- Generated assistant suggestions appear after learning is complete.
+
+## When this version is best
+
+- Solo creators
+- Fast content collection
+- Teams that want low onboarding cost
+- Users who are not technical and do not want to think in workflows
