01What is Maslow AI-OS?
A free Linux workspace in development, built on Omarchy and shaped for working with multiple AI agents. It brings a customizable desktop and agent setup work into one environment. The wider vision includes shared knowledge, skills, connections, and visibility; the preview page distinguishes current work from optional client implementations.
02What is free, and what do we pay for?
The OS is intended to be free. Maslow charges for discovery, setup, organizational knowledge systems, integrations, workflow implementation, training, and ongoing support. Hardware, model usage, and third-party licenses are separate costs.
03Can we download it today?
A public download is not offered through this website. We can discuss the current development candidate, your hardware, and a suitable evaluation scope. Broad hardware acceptance and a stable signed public release remain open milestones.
04Do we have to replace Windows or move everyone to Linux?
No. A technical champion can evaluate the workspace on a dedicated machine. We also deliver knowledge systems and workflows on existing infrastructure, including Ubuntu. Your team can continue using its existing business tools.
05Can we keep the AI tools we already use?
Yes. The goal is a useful shared foundation around supported tools, with Codex, Claude Code, and Hermes as the primary setup paths being developed. Each tool has its own sign-in, permissions, integrations, and compatibility requirements.
06What do you mean by a second brain?
A place to retain useful notes, decisions, and approved lessons so the next task can build on them. Sharing that knowledge across agents requires a configured knowledge store and access rules. It does not automatically combine private conversations or memories.
07Can we connect local drives, SharePoint, or older systems?
We scope connections around the sources and actions a workflow needs. That can include folders, network drives, SharePoint libraries, and business applications through APIs, MCP, or computer use. Access, document quality, and integration reliability are evaluated before rollout.
08Is every feature on the homepage included in the OS?
No. The homepage explains the foundation we are working toward and the systems we deliver for clients. Current preview capabilities, optional integrations, and illustrative workflows are labeled. Client implementations demonstrate delivery experience rather than the contents of a standard OS installation.
09How do we start a paid engagement?
Bring a use case or a point of friction. We can begin with discovery, a setup project, a knowledge system, or one workflow. A 90-Day Foundation is available for larger scopes. Fees, deliverables, decision points, and ownership are agreed before work starts.
10How quickly will we have something useful?
That depends on the sources, integrations, and scope. We agree a first test and acceptance criteria early, then use the result to decide whether to continue. The 90-day example on How We Engage describes a larger foundation project, not a universal delivery promise.
11Where does our information go?
The selected deployment and model configuration determine the data path. Local services can run on your hardware; an external model or connected application may receive scoped information. We document those paths with your IT counterpart. A Linux installation alone does not keep every agent action local.
12Is our data used to train models?
Maslow does not use client data to train its own models. External provider use, retention, and training terms depend on the selected service, account, and configuration. These are reviewed for the scoped deployment rather than assumed from the tool name.
13Who runs the system after implementation?
We agree whether your team operates it, Maslow provides scoped ongoing support, or responsibility is shared. Training, runbooks, monitoring, maintenance, and an exit path are part of that discussion.
14Can procurement review your security documents?
Yes. The diligence page shows which documents are available and which are in preparation. Send your requirements early so we can identify gaps. Maslow does not currently hold SOC 2 certification.
15Who will we work with?
Rakesh David leads the work with specialist engineers as the engagement needs them. You get a named accountable lead, documented scope, and progress you can inspect with your team.
