A few useful answers
Know what you’re signing up for.
Do I need to know how to code?
No code is needed to create your business brief or choose a next step. Building and operating software may need technical setup; MaxChef and separately scoped help can support that work.
Will MaxNova run my business for me?
MaxNova gives you a focused workspace and proposed next steps. You review decisions, approve handoffs, and measure results. Customer outreach, ad spend, and paid work need their own setup and approval.
Do I need my own AI or GitHub account?
No. Choose all-in-one and MaxChef brings both. We use our AI to build your project, and you pay what the AI cost us plus 30% (15% for members). If you use it in a month, the smallest bill is $1. If you don't, you pay nothing for it. You pick a monthly limit, so there are no surprises. We keep your code private in our GitHub for free, marked as yours. Already have ChatGPT, an Anthropic key, or GitHub? You can use those instead.
Is MaxNova Membership required?
No. Start Free includes your business workspace. Membership is an optional purchase for the benefits listed at checkout. It does not include unlimited builds, hosting, domain registrations, or AI usage.
Is my business plan public?
Your MaxNova workspace belongs to your signed-in account. MaxChef has separate public projects for building in public. Creating a business brief here does not publish it.
Can I bring an existing business?
Yes. Choose Improve my business for a clearer website, a better customer journey, or less repeat work. Choose Grow my business to explore a new offer, reach more customers, or expand how you sell. MaxNova currently keeps one business per account.
