Private beta · by invitation
Pick up the thread of your own mind.
Social networks learned to capture our attention. Maurice uses AI to do the opposite: gather what you read, write and receive, help you think it through, and leave you the last word. On your own, or with the few people you invite into your household.
We’re opening Maurice a few households at a time.
What Maurice knows about you
Example
Kept
To confirm
Kept
Every line is yours to open, correct or erase. What he works out on his own stays marked as his until you’ve confirmed it.
What we believe
We believe AI can be used for something other than holding on to us. That it can help each of us reread our own life, understand what is on our mind, and say it in our own words. That what we share is better when it comes from within. And that none of this requires handing our data to anyone.
Introspection
Time spent with yourself.
Your past conversations with ChatGPT or Claude, your mail, what you highlight as you read: Maurice gathers them into a garden of notes that is yours alone. You come back to it, reread it, add to it.
Learn more →The AI
It digests. You decide.
Maurice sorts, summarises and connects. What he writes points to where it came from, and what he worked out on his own stays marked as his until you’ve confirmed it.
Learn more →Creation
Original, and documented.
What you write rests on what you have actually read and lived: the passage, the date and the source are there when you need them. Maurice notices what is on your mind – he can even whisper that it’s time to write it down.
Learn more →Expression · in the works
Publish because you have something to say.
A site of your own: the books and films that stayed with you, your notes, a blog. In your voice, with no algorithm in between.
Learn more →Company
Invite people in. Follow no one.
A household is a place you open to whoever you choose: family, a friend passing through, a guest for one conversation. No followers, no audience to feed.
Learn more →Your data
For you, not about you.
Your household has its own space on a server in the EU. No ads, nothing used to train anyone’s model, and you can leave with everything.
Learn more →The household
A circle you trust, where the AI waits to be asked.
A household is a few people close to you: family, friends, those you trust. You trade ideas in shared conversations, around a context you hold in common.
Maurice is there, but he stays quiet until someone turns to him. And what he knows about each of you in private stays out of the room.

Household conversation
What are we doing for Dad’s 70th?
He kept talking about Brittany last year.
@Maurice, any idea for a weekend there in May?
For four people in May: Saint-Malo, Belle-Île or the Gulf of Morbihan. Shall I work out the one you like?
Carnet
Read, highlight, keep what matters.
Carnet is Maurice’s companion on iPhone and iPad. It is how what you read finds its way into your garden.
Read a book
Your books open in Carnet, and Maurice knows where you are when you talk to him about one.
Highlight
A passage stops you: highlight it. It joins your notes, tied to the book or article it came from.
Write a card
A book, a film, a series: a few lines on what you made of it. In your words: Maurice doesn’t write your cards.
Read it later
The browser extension sets an article aside in one click. You read it in Carnet, and highlight it like a book.
Privacy
Not a seat on someone’s platform. Your own instance.
Every household gets its own Maurice, with its own server, databases and documents. Nothing in it is pooled with other customers, and nothing is used to train anyone’s model.
Inside the house, each member’s conversations are sealed too. Being the admin doesn’t let you read anyone else’s.

Delete the instance, and it’s gone.
Import
Bring your history. Then own it.
You don’t start from zero. Maurice reads your ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini history and builds your profile from it.
1
Export your data
Use the standard export ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini already offer, then drop the archive into Maurice.
2
Maurice builds your profile
What you work on, how you like answers, the people and projects that come up. Built inside your instance, editable by you.
3
Search it from day one
Your old conversations are searchable right away, in a database you own, on a server in the EU.
Models
Pick the model. Keep the data.
Maurice isn’t tied to one AI company. Switch models whenever you like. Your conversations, notes and documents stay in your instance either way.

Everyday
Default
A fast, low-cost model for emails, homework and summaries. Most days, it’s all you need.

Connect your own API key for a top-tier model. Most households only need it now and then: a few hard questions, 20 or 30 cents, paid to the provider.
Your own Mac
Run a model on a Mac at home with Ollama. Nothing leaves the house.
Per member
A simpler, cheaper model for the kids. Whatever you prefer for yourself.
Pricing
One plan for the whole household.
No per-seat pricing: add everyone who lives with you. You pay a flat fee for hosting and upkeep, and top up a credit for what the household uses. For the family of four below, September came to €16.50. About €4 each.
