A new architecture called Jagarin lets phone-based AI assistants go dormant to save battery, then wake themselves the moment something time-sensitive actually needs your attention.
The system is described in a new research paper and built from three layers. DAWN (Duty-Aware Wake Network) is an on-device engine that runs during the phone's normal periodic wake cycles and scores four signals - the ideal timing window for a task, how likely you are to engage right now, the cost of waiting, and whether several duties can be bundled into one nudge - to decide whether to stay quiet, ping you, or escalate. Full specification and evaluation of DAWN, along with a proposed machine-readable messaging protocol called ACE that would let institutions talk to personal agents directly, are covered in separate companion papers; this paper's job is showing how the pieces fit together, plus a working Flutter prototype on Android. The third layer, ARIA (Agent Relay Identity Architecture), is a commercial email proxy that turns institutional email into structured records automatically, without manual data entry.
The privacy design is the more interesting part. Behavioral signals, thresholds and scores never leave the device, and every record ARIA pulls from email is sealed to the device's own public key before storage, so the relay itself holds only ciphertext it can't read. Cloud access is limited to parsing incoming commercial email and to an ephemeral agent you explicitly invoke.
It's a reasonable answer to a real constraint, but "duty-aware wake" is still notification triage with new branding - the real test is whether four scoring signals beat the annoyance threshold your phone already ignores.
