### Useful
### Predictable & Calm

Elevate the most useful and relevant information.

### Personal
### User-Anchored

Provide personalized content and build an emotional connection with customers. Widgets should never contain ads. Customers are in control of their widget content and layout.

### Focused
### Timely

Each widget should generally focus on one main task or scenario. Widgets are not intended to replace your apps and websites.

### Fresh

Content should dynamically refresh based on available context. It is up to date and provides the right content at the right time.

A widget should surface relevant information at the right time and in the right context.
