What is MAITE?
MAITE is a private, AI-powered personal coaching and progress-tracking app designed to help individuals organize projects, prioritize tasks, and make consistent progress on the goals that matter to them. Unlike productivity apps that just store your to-dos, MAITE actively coaches you — using AI to understand your communication style, adapt to how you think, and follow up like a personal accountability partner.
MAITE is built for people who do things. Not productivity-porn enthusiasts. Real people with real goals — health, business, creative projects, recovery, learning, building. Whatever progress means to you, MAITE structures it into actionable steps and walks alongside you.
AI Coaching That Actually Gets You
MAITE's AI coach learns your communication style — formal or casual, direct or thoughtful, encouraging or challenging — and adapts. It remembers context across conversations, follows up on commitments you made last week, and notices when you're stuck. This isn't a generic chatbot pasted into a goal tracker. It's a coaching layer designed from the ground up for personal progress.
Smart Goals — Describe What You Want, MAITE Builds the Plan
Tell MAITE what you want in plain language: "I want to launch my podcast in three months" or "I want to lose 20 pounds before my wedding" or "I want to learn React to build my own SaaS." MAITE translates the goal into a structured plan with milestones, tasks, check-in cadence, and progress metrics. You don't have to know the methodology — MAITE figures it out.
Vision Analysis — Send an Image, Get Insights
MAITE has built-in vision capabilities. Send a photo of your workout, your meal, your workspace, your project board, your scale, your handwritten notes — MAITE analyzes the image and incorporates what it sees into your coaching context. Your visual brain, amplified by AI.
Natural Conversation — Talk to MAITE Like a Friend
No commands to learn. No magic syntax. Just talk. MAITE remembers what you told it last week, references specific things you said, and follows up like a person who actually cares. The conversation interface is the primary way you interact — goals, tasks, check-ins, vision analysis all happen through natural chat.
Daily Check-Ins and Progress Tracking
MAITE checks in with you on a cadence that fits your goal — daily for habits, weekly for projects, monthly for big-picture. Each check-in reviews what you accomplished, what got in the way, and what's next. AI-analyzed progress trends show you where you're winning and where you need to focus.
Built for the World — 8 Languages on Day One
MAITE supports English, Spanish, French, Chinese, Japanese, German, Hindi, and Portuguese — together, more than half the world's population. Progress shouldn't have a language barrier. The AI coaching adapts to the language you prefer to think in.
Privacy First — Local AI on Sovereign Infrastructure
Unlike ChatGPT, Claude, and other cloud-based AI tools, MAITE runs on local AI models hosted on the founder's own infrastructure. Your goals, your conversations, your check-ins, your photos — none of it is sent to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any third-party API. Your personal progress data is yours.
Built by a Solo Founder on a Mac Mini
MAITE is built by Ryan, a solo founder. There is no VC team. There is no army of engineers. There is one person who believes AI should help real people make real progress, building this app on a Mac Mini in a sovereign home studio. Every feature was designed, coded, and shipped from a single desk. You're not buying software — you're backing a vision.
