Fifty people.
The next step is a beta of fifty. We're open to everyone, but we have a preference for people who genuinely don't run their lives on desktop apps. You might be a frontline worker, a tradesperson, someone who is retired, or someone who just dislikes screens.
Maximus is pure voice and SMS. At this stage, there is no read surface whatsoever.
Here's how it works:
- You get the product — the calls, the morning text, the reminders — and a direct line to the founder. Your feedback shapes the build every week, just as it has for my family.
- We ask that you actually use it and tell us the truth about it — what it got right, what it got wrong, what it should have noticed, how it could be more helpful, whether you tire of it or want more.
- It's a beta. Misses will happen. When they do, they get fixed at the root and written down. You'll be able to see that we did.
Starts after the current family run wraps and a security review clears.
Get on the list.
Not ready for the beta? The writing is free: essays on building this way — the architecture, the instruments, the stumbles.
