Sarah: So we should definitely focus on the mobile app first, right? I think iOS makes sense as the starting point given our user base...

James: Agreed. I can set up the CI pipeline for iOS builds this week. We should target the beta for end of Q2.

Sarah: Perfect. Let me finalize the mobile UI designs by Friday then. What about the API redesign?

James: Let's push that to the next sprint. We should also ship MCP integration with the v1.0 release...
