Nathan Maxwell

Builder

I build software and run a gaming club.

What I'm working on, and why.

Problems

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

Missions

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

Challenges

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