What we learned building mial

We started mial in January 2026. Along the way we learned what it should be, and what it shouldn't. Here's how that shaped it.

January 2026

We set out to build an app for your whole life.

mial started as a personal assistant you could talk to. Over the spring it kept growing, one feature at a time.

We launched, and it was hard to explain.

It didn't catch on. Meanwhile, Claude, ChatGPT and other AI apps had gotten far better at thinking, writing and planning than the chat we had built.
September 2026

We connected it to your AI.

We opened mial up to Claude, ChatGPT and the rest, and it started to make sense. Those apps were great at the big things. What still slipped through were the small yeses: the email you said you'd send, the call you meant to return, the friend you meant to check in on.

So we rebuilt mial around what you said yes to.

It keeps track of what you owe, what you're owed, what you promised yourself, and who to keep up with. Claude and the others add to it as you go, and a short note each morning shows you what needs you. It's free, and it works alongside the tools you already like.
