Nathan Maxwell

Builder
I build software and run a gaming club.
What I'm working on, and why.

Problems

  1. P1.Data loss and cognitive overload when coaching multiple swimmers
  2. P2.AI agents don't carry context across sessions
  3. P3.Agents as assistants, not thinking partners

Missions

  1. M1.Build a context system that compounds with me, so my AI learns from every conversation
  2. M2.Use software and AI to multiply what I can do
  3. M3.Build software that lets coaches coach

Challenges

  1. C1.Balancing build time vs. distribution time
  2. C2.Signal vs. noise at scale in the inbox
