Maincode exists because we believe AI should do more than generate text. It should
understand context, deliver useful results, and earn trust.
Every interaction, every time.
We're building Matilda to be the AI assistant we always wanted: one that grasps the
full picture of what you're working on, remembers what matters, and helps you
move through complexity on your terms.
Founded in Melbourne, our team spans AI research, product engineering, and design.
We're Australian-made by design: independent, close to the people we build for, and
here to set a higher standard for AI safety. We ship fast, measure everything, and
build in the open where we can.

Safe by design. Transparent by default. Approachable by choice.
Matilda is Maincode's flagship AI assistant, built in Australia, from
infrastructure to model behaviour, and built for a higher quality of conversation.
Not another chatbot. Matilda is designed to feel intuitive from the start: clear
in how it responds, deliberate in what it does, and focused on helping you move
through complex work without friction.
// CAPABILITIES
01Deep contextual understanding across long conversations
02Multi-step reasoning with visible, inspectable steps
03Anticipates your needs, but doesn't assume; asks before it acts, checks when unsure
04Learns your workflow over time, on your terms, with clear controls
05Approachable from the first message, no prompt engineering required
06Built and hosted in Australia, aligned with Australian privacy standards

We're a small team doing hard things. If you're the kind of person who builds
at 2am because you can't stop thinking about the problem — we should talk.
Maincode is building AI that works in the real world. We need people who care
about craft, move fast, and don't need permission to ship.
// WHAT WE VALUE
01Ownership. You don't wait to be told what to build
02Gradient. You learn new things quickly
03Range. You keep learning, going deep in any given domain
04Speed. Ship, learn, iterate
05Taste. You care about the details that others skip
06Humility. No ego. No posturing. Mission first
// LOCATION
Melbourne, Australia. On-site. Full-time.

The world is quiet now.
The slack is still. The tickets wait.
But here, in the glow of the terminal,
we are building what morning will find.
No meetings. No metrics. No mercy.
Just the problem, the cursor, and the clock
that stopped mattering two hours ago.
This is where it happens.
Not in the pitch deck. Not in the standup.
Here. Now. In the space between
what doesn't work yet
and what's about to.
