Integration Overview

Purpose

This document is the entry point for external teams that need to integrate with Heliuos or understand how Heliuos should exchange context with another system.

Use this page to describe the product surface, expected data flow, responsibilities, and integration rules before adding implementation-specific API references.

Intended audience

• Product partners evaluating how Heliuos fits into their workflow.
• Engineering teams preparing a technical integration.
• Internal operators documenting handoff requirements.

Integration principles

1. User context stays explicit. Any context shared with Heliuos should be clear, scoped, and traceable.
2. Privacy is the default. Do not send personal data unless it is required for the workflow and permitted by the user.
3. Partner systems stay authoritative. Heliuos can enrich, summarize, and assist, but source systems should remain the source of truth.
4. Failures should be recoverable. External integrations should support retries, auditability, and clear error states.

Information to document

When writing a new integration doc, include:

• System owner and contact point.
• Integration goal.
• Data sent to Heliuos.
• Data returned by Heliuos.
• Authentication or access requirements.
• Expected user journey.
• Error handling.
• Open questions or limitations.

Example workflow

1. A partner system sends a scoped project summary to Heliuos.
2. Heliuos uses the summary to prepare context-aware assistance.
3. The user reviews, approves, or edits the output.
4. The partner system stores the final user-approved result.

Status

This is a starter document. Replace or expand it with concrete API contracts, payload examples, and partner-specific instructions when the integration surface is ready.
