Every interaction advances two stories
Each query demonstrates utility while revealing intent. Autocomplete, spelling correction, maps, translation, and search results enter only when the character needs them. The commercial avoids a tour because features appear as consequences of life.
For software, start with the meaningful state changes a user leaves behind: searches, decisions, messages, approvals, or created objects. A product can carry narrative when those actions reveal motive.
