Matilda swag. A hand-signed note. A genuine welcome to have you onboard for the founding cohort of the Insiders Club.

A different kind of AI, from a different kind of place.

There are a lot of conversational AI platforms. Most of them come from the same handful of companies, in the same handful of cities, with the same assumptions about how this technology should work. Matilda doesn't.

Built where the standards are high.

Australia has a reputation for doing things properly: in science, in engineering, in how we think about safety and responsibility. Matilda is built to those standards, not in spite of them.

Your data stays here.

Every conversation, every query, every piece of context stays on Australian infrastructure. Not routed offshore, not subject to foreign data laws. That's the architecture, not an add-on.

Designed to be useful, not impressive.

We care more about whether Matilda actually helps you get your work done than whether it wins a benchmark. The experience is the product.

A genuine alternative.

The world needs more than one perspective on how AI should work: who it serves, how it behaves, what it optimises for. Matilda is that alternative, and we're building it in the open with the people who'll use it.

Questions.

What is Matilda?
Matilda is a conversational AI platform on iOS and web, built and run entirely in Australia by Maincode. It's designed to be genuinely useful for real work, with a level of care about safety, privacy, and experience that we think the space needs more of.
Who should apply?
While the Insiders Club is open to everyone, we especially want to hear from those who already use AI for work, writing, research, planning, or decision-making and want to help shape a new alternative AI.
What does 'fully unlocked' mean?
You get access to our highest tier: no message limits, no feature gates, no token caps. We want you using Matilda the way a power user would.
How much time does this take?
Use Matilda the way you'd use any AI tool. When something's off, tell us. We'll ask for a short survey response once a week and a call every couple of weeks for 30 minutes, tops.
How much does this cost?
It's completely free, only costing time and occasional feedback.
How many people are you accepting?
About 15. This is our very first release. We want a small enough group that every person's feedback genuinely shapes the product. But don't worry, if you're not selected, the broader beta is coming soon.
Is this confidential?
Yes. Matilda hasn't publicly launched yet. We'll ask you to keep what you see between us. No screenshots, no public posts until we're ready. We trust you, and we'll let you know when things change.
I'm not in Australia. Can I apply?
Absolutely. Matilda is built in Australia by Maincode, but the Insiders Club is open globally. We're looking for people who care about what a different approach to AI looks like, wherever they are.
When will I hear back?
We read every application personally. Expect to hear from the Product team within 7–10 business days.

Interested?

Five minutes. We read every one.
