If you're wondering what this means for developers, our piece on preparing iOS apps for the Duo's flexible displays offers useful insight.

A case file is more than a stack of PDFs, and the index proves it by mapping what the case type demands before a single folder is opened. The two questions worth building for are not retrieval questions at all, which reframes how we think about RAG's purpose. It's a sharp, practical push toward relational tables that serve the work.
