Our story. A house before a company.
Chez Maurice is made in Brussels by a small company, Palacehotel Software. Maurice began as an assistant for one family, and that family still uses it every day.
It started at home.
Maurice was first built for one family in Brussels, two adults and two children: an assistant the whole house could use, where each person keeps a space of their own, and where what the AI remembers can be read, corrected and erased.
The children set the rules early. No public pages for them, nothing proposed to them on Maurice’s own initiative, and no setting that lifts those limits. What was good enough for them became the rule for everyone.
Chez Maurice is that same Maurice, run for others: yours, in a container of your own, for you and up to nine people you invite.
What we hold to.
1
A memory you can see.
Maurice knows what you put in front of him, and what you agreed he may keep. Nothing hidden, nothing you cannot read.
2
Your words stay yours.
He does not mine your conversations into notes, and he never writes what you publish. A note exists because you wrote it or asked for it.
3
You can always leave.
Everything exports, the code is open, and Maurice runs on a machine of your own if you prefer. In Europe, with no AI company behind it.
How we earn a living.
From one thing: your subscription. No advertising, no selling of data, and nothing you write trains a model. Each subscription pays for its place on a machine in Paris, the AI it uses, and a small margin; half of that margin pays for other people’s free month.
