objections

  • objection: I do not want an assistant moving money without my control.
    response: Maxi says linked bank access is read-only and sensitive payment actions require secure approval; verify exact permissions before connecting.
  • objection: I do not want another app or dashboard to maintain.
    response: The product centers on iMessage, with proactive summaries and questions in conversation.
  • objection: What does it cost after early access?
    response: The current live site does not publish a price; confirm terms when invited. An older search result lists a price but may be stale.
