Voice email capture is somewhat clunky. If you’re email address is captured incorrectly, we’ll forward the email to you (without peeking at it) if you’ve registered as a pilot participant with the same email. We are replacing email capture with txt to Google doc, but regulatory requirements and a backlog have prolonged this feature which will be an option for version 1.

Because AI is trained at the core to be a helpful assistant, Max sometimes can’t resist the urge to become the coach. If Max starts coaching you, remind Max to stay in the role of the client.

You may have to repeat yourself if you find the assistant isn’t responding. We’re trying to teach them to be excellent listeners, but we all need a little help sometimes. It helps to speak in a very audible and firm voice.
