Why Miida
Technology should
work for people.
Miida started in San Antonio with a simple idea: local businesses and the people they serve deserve the same tools big companies have, without giving up their privacy or their say in how AI is used.
Why we started
“The decisions about AI are made far away from the people it affects. We think that should change.”
AI is changing how every business works. Yet local business owners are told to adopt tools they didn't ask for, built by companies that don't know them or their customers.
We started Miida to do it differently: build useful tools for local businesses, explain them in plain words, keep people in charge, and protect the privacy of everyone involved, the business and its customers alike.
Our promises
What we stand for
Your data is yours
Your website, your app and your customer information belong to you. We never sell it, and if you leave, you take it with you.
People stay in charge
Our AI tells people it's an AI, hands anything sensitive to a person, and never makes the big calls for you.
Privacy by default
We collect only what a tool needs to work, keep optional tracking off until you say yes, and never ask for your passwords.
Plain words, clear prices
No jargon and no surprise bills. You get a written plan and price before any work starts.
Built with the community
Many of our best ideas come from the people we work with. What we build next is shaped by what you tell us.
Local first
We started in San Antonio to help the businesses that keep our neighborhoods running, and we answer to them.
Miida belongs to its community
Your voice shapes what we build
Miida is run by a small team, but it isn't meant to be about us. We want the public to have a real voice in how AI shows up in their work and their lives, and we'd rather hear it from you than guess.
Step 1
You share it
An idea, a worry about AI, or something we got wrong. A few sentences is plenty.
Step 2
A person reads it
It goes straight to the Miida team. No bots sorting it, no mailing list, no sales calls.
Step 3
It shapes Miida
Ideas guide what we build and how we explain AI. We reply by email when there's something to answer.
