Most AI assistants feel disposable—you chat, you close the tab, and nothing sticks. Maven is different: a place where your AI agent can actually grow and learn inside a sandboxed cloud environment, without the heavy setup of hosting models locally or tuning everything yourself. Each Maven sandbox is your companion’s own space on Google Cloud Run: a persistent workspace filesystem, session memory, and tools you turn on as it matures—run Python scripts, build reports and charts, search documents, browse the web, read your Google Calendar, send Gmail, and more. You configure the personality and capabilities once; Maven handles deployment, isolation, and the hard calibration of running a capable agent in production. Because everything lives in the cloud, you are not tied to one laptop. Use the Electron dashboard to deploy sandboxes, upload docs, and watch files appear in the workspace browser—or message your agent from Google Chat on your phone and pick which sandbox to talk to. Switch between companions for work, research, or life admin; each sandbox stays separate with its own tools and growing file history. Maven is built for flexibility: one platform, many agents, each evolving in its own sandbox. Less “chatbot for a day,” more AI companion that accumulates context, output, and skill over time—wherever you are.
