About

Built by Alex Beck

I'm a founder at UC Berkeley building AI software the forward-deployed way: against numbers real operations actually track. IntMaxx is where the tools ship; IntMaxxing is where I document the work on YouTube.

I'm Alex Beck. I started IntMaxx to get the software I build in front of the businesses that would actually use it. I make fun things and serious things, but mostly I solve expensive, repetitive problems, and I'd rather those solutions be working for you than sitting on my drive.

Intelligence became a commodity

In the AI era, intelligence is cheap and everywhere. The advantage isn't access anymore; it's how well you use it. Good software turns that raw capability into a better way to work and live, and keeps you on the cutting edge instead of watching it pass. That's what I build: tools that let you feel the change in real time and put it to work in your own life and business.

Why I started

I started IntMaxx on July 22nd, 2026, the day I realized I needed a real platform for my software, not just a folder of projects nobody could reach. To make software that matters I need feedback, and to get feedback I need users. This site is step one.

I'm at UC Berkeley, in the gravity well of Silicon Valley. Two things drive me: I'm a little scared of falling behind, and I'm genuinely inspired that a regular college student can build something that improves society. Both point the same way, so I build.

Why it matters

A lot of people are scared of AI. I think it can seriously improve society. Handled well, it points toward an excess of goods and services, a world where people choose what they do instead of having to work. I'd rather help build toward that than sit it out, and every tool here is a small step that way.

What I won't do

  • Add telemetry, analytics, or crash reporting to the tools.
  • Route your documents or keys through a service I control.
  • Claim a result I have not measured and published.
  • Sell, rent, or broker anyone's data.

How the tools are built

In the open, on YouTube, one problem at a time. No ads, no affiliate links, no sponsorships in the software. What gets built next is decided by which problems turn out to be worth the most to the people already using the tools.
