Welcome to mx.works!

I’m Max, Founder and Lead AI Officer here.

I’ve been building software for over 15 years. I have coded late nights as a solo founder, run design teams, hired hundreds of developers, and bootstrapped companies from nothing. Along the way, I have seen the same painful pattern repeat over and over:

  • Founders burning six figures and six months just to get a basic MVP live.
  • Product leaders stuck in endless hiring cycles, unable to ship.
  • Companies outsourcing projects that end up bloated, overbuilt, or dead on arrival.

AI changes the rules, but not in the way most people think. You do not need to hire a ten person team or pour millions into infrastructure just to launch something. But you do need clarity, speed, and the right mix of human and AI to build products that actually work.

That is why I started mx.works: to give founders and product leaders a better way.


What We Actually Do (and Do Not Do)

At mx.works, we do not sell vague AI “strategy decks” that gather dust.
We do not throw random freelancers at your problem and hope it sticks.
We do not lock you into rigid retainers or force you through endless discovery calls.

Instead, we help you ship outcomes:

  • AI MVPs → From idea to working product in weeks, not months.
  • AI Pods → Cross functional teams (design, engineering, AI) that grow with you.
  • Automations → Workflows that save time, cut costs, and extend your runway.

Everything we do is built around a simple principle: ship something real you can use, show, or sell.


Who We Work With

Our clients usually fall into one of three groups:

  • Founders with an idea but no team yet. They want to move fast, validate, and impress investors or customers.
  • Product leaders inside SaaS companies. They need to ship AI features quickly without derailing existing roadmaps.
  • CTOs or PMs at SMBs. They are tasked with “doing something with AI” but do not want to blow budget or break what already works.

If that sounds like you, this Playbook hub is for you.


How It Works

Think of mx.works as your plug and play AI team:

  1. Start with a clear outcome. Maybe it is an MVP, an automation, or your first AI feature.
  2. Spin up a Pod. We assemble the right team — design, engineering, AI, PM — that operates like an extension of your company.
  3. Ship fast, then scale. We deliver quickly, then keep building with you through ongoing sprints.

You do not need to hire three to five people, onboard them, and hope it works out. You can run this play with us and start shipping right away.


Our Promise

If you work with us, you will get three things:

  • Speed → Tangible outcomes in weeks, not months.
  • Clarity → No vague advice, no endless research cycles. Just clear steps.
  • Outcomes → Real products, real automations, real progress.

We exist so you do not waste time, money, and energy on the wrong paths.


What to Expect Here

This Playbook hub is not a blog. It is a library of actionable guides and case style breakdowns for founders and product leaders.

Each Playbook will show you:

  • A real problem founders face.
  • The exact steps we (and you) can run to solve it.
  • The outcomes in time saved, money saved, or product shipped.

Every piece here is designed to be practical and something you can use this week.


Your Next Step

If you are here to explore, start by browsing the Playbooks. Run a play yourself, see how far it gets you.

But if you are ready to move fast, skip the DIY and bring us in. We will spin up your AI MVP, your Pod, or your first set of automations and get you shipping.

Book a call with me

Because your AI team should be ready to ship. Today, not someday.
