MYCA Chat

Identity

• Category: ai
• Access Tier: AUTHENTICATED
• Depends On: platform-navigation, platform-authentication
• Route: /myca
• Key Components: app/myca/page.tsx, components/myca/MYCAChatWidget.tsx, components/myca/LiveDemo.tsx, components/myca/MYCALiveActivityPanel.tsx, components/myca/MYCADataBridge.tsx, components/mas/myca-consciousness-status.tsx, contexts/myca-context.tsx

Success Criteria (Eval)

• MYCA introduction page loads with hero section showing "Environmental Super Intelligence" heading and consciousness status badge
• Scroll to Live Demo section (#live-demo), type a text message in the chat input, click Send, and receive a streamed response from MYCA
• Consciousness status badge displays current MYCA state (e.g., "Active", "Dreaming", "Processing") with periodic refresh
• Voice interaction via PersonaPlex is accessible from the AI Studio page (/natureos/ai-studio) with connection status indicator
• Live Activity panel shows real-time agent activity and data bridge status alongside the chat

Navigation Path (Computer Use)

1. Navigate to mycosoft.com
2. Log in if needed (see platform-authentication skill)
3. Click "MYCA" in the header navigation, or navigate directly to /myca
4. The MYCA introduction page loads with a hero section — green gradient text reading "MYCA" and "Environmental Super Intelligence"
5. At the top center, a consciousness status badge shows MYCA's current state
6. Scroll down past informational sections (Edge-Native Intelligence, Yin-Yang of MYCA and AVANI, Abstract, Hand Thesis, Four Fingers)
7. Reach the "Live Demo" section — this contains the interactive chat widget, activity panel, and data bridge
8. The chat widget has an input field at the bottom, a send button, and a scrollable message area above
9. Type a message and click Send (or press Enter) to interact with MYCA

Core Actions

Action 1: Send a text message and get a response

Goal: Have a conversation with MYCA about environmental science, mycology, or platform capabilities

1. Navigate to /myca and scroll to the Live Demo section (or click "Experience MYCA")
2. Locate the chat input field at the bottom of the chat widget
3. Type a message (e.g., "What species of fungi are most effective at bioremediation?")
4. Click the Send button or press Enter
5. Watch the response stream in — MYCA generates tokens progressively
6. Wait for the response to complete (the loading indicator stops)
7. Continue the conversation by typing follow-up questions

Action 2: Access voice interaction via PersonaPlex

Goal: Use full-duplex voice-to-voice interaction with MYCA

1. Navigate to /natureos/ai-studio (the MYCA Command Center)
2. Look for the PersonaPlex voice status indicator in the bottom-right corner (desktop only)
3. If PersonaPlex shows "Ready", click the volume/microphone button to start listening
4. Speak your question — the transcript appears in the indicator panel
5. MYCA processes the voice input and responds; voice commands can also navigate AI Studio tabs ("show topology", "show activity", "create agent")
6. Note: Voice duplex previously at /myca/voice-duplex now redirects to /test-voice with full consciousness integration

Action 3: Upload a file for analysis

Goal: Provide MYCA with a file (image, document, data) for multimodal analysis

1. In the chat widget, look for a file upload button (paperclip or upload icon) near the input field
2. Click the upload button and select a file from your device
3. The file is attached to your next message — type additional context if needed
4. Click Send — MYCA processes the file alongside your text message
5. The response will reference the uploaded content with analysis, extraction, or insights

Common Failure Modes

Composability

• Prerequisite skills: platform-navigation, platform-authentication
• Next skills: ai-studio (full MYCA Command Center with agents and topology), ai-explainer (understand transformer architecture behind MYCA), ai-model-training (train the NLM model powering MYCA)
• Used by workflows: workflow-research-pipeline (MYCA chat as research interface)

Computer Use Notes

• The /myca page is primarily informational with the interactive chat embedded in the Live Demo section — scroll or use the "Experience MYCA" anchor link
• Response streaming means text appears token by token — wait for the loading indicator to disappear before reading the full response
• The MYCAChatWidget uses the useMYCA context which manages messages, loading state, memory, and consciousness — state persists across the session
• PersonaPlex voice is only available on desktop (hidden via lg:block CSS class) and requires the edge node voice service
• Consciousness status badge refreshes every 30 seconds (refreshInterval={30000})
• The chat widget supports confirmation flows — some MYCA actions require user confirmation before execution (pendingConfirmationId)
• Audio playback for MYCA responses is best-effort (base64 WAV) and may not work in all browsers
