About Maximus
Maximus is a field technology company based in Maine. We build voice-first tools for workers and people whose lives don't happen at a desk.
The tech industry has spent two decades building for itself. The result is a stack of apps, dashboards, and screens designed to capture attention and sell it. For people whose hands are busy and whose days are long, that stack is a tax, not a tool.
We're building something different. Tools that take load off instead of adding to it: less to carry in your head, more time with the people in your life, more say in how your day goes, more of it spent away from a screen. The longer you use Maximus, the more it knows you. The more it knows you, the better it helps you do what you said you would.
Our aim is the best partner ever built for daily life — and for the changes you decide to make — for people who don't run their lives on calendars and apps.

About me
My name is Jonas Leddington. I spent two decades in and around private equity — deals, boards, talent, operating teams. In 2026, I started building software with AI agents writing every line, governed by an engineering discipline I run without writing code: multiple agents coordinated as supportive adversaries, measurement first, external review of every change, every decision on the record.
Maximus is the first and hardest build: a voice assistant with durable memory — provenance on every fact — trusted with real people's medication schedules, appointments, money, and family threads, starting with my own family. The memory function and voice path are, for now, the proving ground for everything I build. I started here because I saw a problem in the consumer health market: the people who could most benefit from structured support are largely ignored, for two structural reasons — consumer spend sits with a different demographic, and Silicon Valley builds for knowledge workers.
Also, for many of us, real change in our lives sits downstream of other changes — to schedules, to cognitive load — and I believe health applications need to sit amid the function of everyday life.
Finally, good technology should ask very little of us. I approach AI with the hope it delivers us from screen and engagement capture.
The engineering record — the memory architecture, the governance, the numbers — is at How it's built. Here is my LinkedIn. If you're interested in what I'm building — or how — please reach out.
