Fidus Design System
A privacy-first, AI-driven component library for building contextual user experiences
What is Fidus Design System?
Fidus Design System is a comprehensive collection of reusable components, patterns, and guidelines for building the Fidus personal assistant application. It embodies our core principles of privacy, user control, and context-aware interactions.
Unlike traditional design systems, Fidus embraces an AI-Driven UI paradigm where the interface adapts to user context, intent, and expertise level. Components are designed to be flexible and composable, supporting multiple presentation modes determined at runtime.
Key Principles
Privacy-First Design
Every component and pattern prioritizes user privacy. Data stays on device when possible, encryption is the default, and users have complete control over their information.
AI-Driven UI
The UI adapts to context rather than following predetermined flows. The same user query can produce different interfaces based on time, location, user expertise, and intent.
User Control
Users explicitly control their experience. No auto-hiding elements, no forced workflows. Every action requires user consent, and dismissal is always available.
Context-Aware Components
Components understand their context and adapt their behavior accordingly. A calendar widget can appear in chat, as a dashboard card, or in a dedicated view based on user needs.
Component Categories
Quick Start
For Developers
Install the component library and start building:
npm install @fidus/uiCore Concepts
Opportunity Surface
Rather than fixed dashboards, Fidus presents an Opportunity Surface where relevant cards appear based on user context. The LLM decides what to show, users control dismissal.

Forms adapt to user expertise. Beginners get wizards, experts get quick-entry forms, and everyone can use conversational input.
View form patterns →Context-Aware Rendering
Components receive context and adapt their presentation. A budget widget might show a warning in morning planning sessions but a simple progress bar during the day.
