Maple provides an AI experience that is as close to the privacy of local, offline AI as possible while running in the cloud. We do this by using Trusted Execution Environments (TEE). Data is encrypted locally and only decrypted inside the TEE. If law enforcement requested a user's data, they would receive an encrypted blob. Furthermore, we offer anonymous accounts that don’t have any associated email or social media identity. We've been open from the beginning.

We are already in the process of commissioning third-party audits because we know those are helpful for certain organizations. I know of no other cloud AI provider, whether it’s proprietary frontier labs or other privacy AI companies, that is more open and transparent than we are. We set the bar high because we believe this industry should be open by default. We offer state-of-the-art open-weight models with the strongest privacy protections we can build. It’s up to you to decide what risk tolerance is right for you.

Confirmed: I live inside a Curious George town. Went to the store tonight and ran into my doctor. One minute later ran into the guy that trims our trees. And then right after that saw my dentist, with whom I have an appointment tomorrow morning. He gave me a few pieces of info that he was going to call me about later tonight.

What label would Schwab use for the person who is 100% Bitcoin allocation?

We have been planning this feature for a while. It got put on hold as we worked on another major initiative (more info on that soon). I'm super stoked for this update because I use Maple every day as my first AI. Being able to use projects with shared context has been a big productivity unlock, both professionally and personally. I know some people like the ability to organize their sidebar, I get that. But for me, the custom instructions per project are the massive feature. Eventually we want to add shared files as well, as part of a bigger document repository feature. Maple updates were fast and furious during 2025 and slowed over the last three months. We weren't sitting on our hands. Expect to see regular updates again. View article →

The new Maple app we're building can help you use technology less and experience the world around you more. How does that sound to you? I traveled with it over the last two weeks, and it quickly became my interface for a multitude of tasks. Looking up things, research around town, capturing thoughts, public transportation, real-time sports scores, language translation, sightseeing, reminding me of scheduled items, small therapy sessions, keeping track of recommendations, to-do list items, figuring out restaurant menu items, journaling, understanding local traditions, and even finding a bathroom from a photo I took ("I'm right here, where's the nearest public toilet?!"). There were at least 10 apps it replaced. For the ones it didn't, I hit it first before going to the other app. Equipping me with personalized research meant I was fast at using the other app. Got in, got out. Another outcome is that I had fewer moments of getting distracted by the algorithms each app uses to keep you engaged with them. And yes, you can interpret this post as, "Use technology less by using our app more." 😅 I think the goal should be decreasing wasted time in apps overall. If one app reduces how much time you spend on your phone, that seems like a benefit. Just me?

Delete a couple of apps from your phone today. I bet it will make you feel a little better.

Outdated

There will always be companies willing to provide cheap or free services to people willing to give up their dignity.

Microsoft Azure portal is so difficult to use, I don't know how anything ever got configured before AI was able to walk people through the steps.

The same company that takes your passport photo to sign up for ChatGPT also operates a gov platform that files Suspicious Activity Reports with the fed, runs facial recognition on political databases, & tags reports with intelligence codenames. Same codebase.

What one feature do you need in @Maple that would let you use ChatGPT or Claude less?

psa: stop putting your health info and dna into cloud systems. if you do, make sure they are encrypted thank you for your attention to this matter

We're having a busy month with Maple. Highest signups in a month and the two highest single days of signups. The privacy tech is spreading
