beta maxing/ˈbeɪtə ˈmaksɪŋ/n.the practice of maximizing the improvement a product gains from user feedback during its beta stage

You know what to build.
It ships the same day.

Dictate the product in your own words. An Agentic Software Factory plans, builds, tests, security-checks and verifies it in production.

Proof, not promises: Ai Applied runs four of its own SaaS products on Betamaxx.

The vision

A new way of software operations,
from first principles.

A completely new way of creating software. Not a tool. A new way of software operations: from vision to production in hours, with your users in the loop. Classical software is built around execution capacity. Betamaxx is built around the one thing that matters: getting your idea to production as fast as possible.

The classical way

Software grew into a process: vision, architecture, specifications, a manager, a planning methodology, layers of teams, long release intervals, and feedback that flows back through a completely different channel.

  • Vision → architect → specifications → product manager
  • Waterfall, then Scrum and Agile: methodologies that all assume the biggest deficiency is execution capacity
  • Layers of teams: developers, UI/UX, testers, backend, DevOps
  • Long, predictable release intervals
  • Feedback flows back through customer success and help desks, whose job is to explain how the client can fit the software
  • In the best case, a little percolates back to the product manager, and the loop starts again
  • The whole process lasts an extremely long time

The Betamaxx way

We went back to first principles: you have an application in mind that makes somebody's work lighter or enables something new. Get to a manifestation of it as fast as possible.

  • You are the Product Officer: dictate what you intend to make, it doesn't even have to be super specific
  • Agents help you create a good specification; AI drafts the plan and the specifications
  • Invite any stakeholder you need to make the plan better
  • The Agentic Software Factory elaborates the plan, finds the architecture, the methodologies, the development operations
  • It creates the software, tests it, security-checks it, deploys it and verifies it in production, through the front end
  • It integrates the Betamax widget, so you can onboard users as soon as you have a basic product
  • Users' remarks land in the same place where you started, triaged against your codebase, your documentation, your vision
  • You decide: send it to the factory. Turnaround: hours, sometimes minutes. Users are notified at every step

First principles

Not a tool that fits the process: a new way of software operations. The idea dictates everything, and the process grows around it.

The Product Officer

You dictate what to make. Agents help you create a good specification, AI drafts the plan, and any stakeholder you invite can make it better.

The Agentic Software Factory

It elaborates the plan, finds the architecture, creates the software, tests it, security-checks it, deploys it and verifies it in production, through the front end.

Users in the loop

Onboard users as soon as you have a basic product. Their remarks land where you started, and when their feedback ships, they see it live.

The problem

The classical loop takes years.
And it never closes.

Every part of the classical process got faster with tools. The process itself never changed.

Built around execution capacity

Vision, architecture, specifications, a manager, a planning methodology. Waterfall, then Scrum and Agile: all assume the biggest deficiency is execution capacity, so the process grows more layers, not faster loops.

Feedback flows back through a different channel

Once software ships, feedback goes to customer success and help desks, whose job is to explain how the client can fit the software. In the best case, a little percolates back to the product manager.

The loop takes an extremely long time

From vision to specs to teams to release to feedback to new specs: the loop can last years. By the time it closes, the market has moved.

The plan

Dictate. Plan. Ship. Loop.

Four steps from vision to production. The first three run without you. The fourth is where you decide.

Dictate the vision

You are the Product Officer. Say what you intend to make; it doesn't even have to be specific. Agents help you create a good specification.

2

AI drafts the plan

AI drafts the plan and the specifications. Invite any stakeholder you need to make it better, and iterate until it is near perfect.

3

Implemented automatically

Each cluster becomes a specification. An Agentic Software Factory picks it up on its own and implements it automatically: writes the code, tests, fixes and ships it. It doesn't just test the backend: it goes into the interface and clicks the buttons, like your user would. A Product Officer triaged the idea first; no developer assigns it, no sprint plans it.

4

Users are in the loop

Anyone can report: an integrable widget you drop into your site or app in one line, support mail, a voice note, and integrations with third-party customer support systems, so helpdesk issues land here too. Software reports too: dependency updates, update announcements, uptime monitors, security testing. Every channel lands in one messaging center. Triaged against your codebase, your documentation and your vision, the real issues surface, and you decide: to the factory now, or to a plan with the reporting user invited. Either way, they get notified and thanked.

The guide

We've been there.
So we built the factory.

We know what it is like to drown in feedback and still ship too slowly. Betamaxx is not a copilot that suggests code for someone to review. It is a factory that runs the whole pipeline by itself, so your team can focus on the harder question: what to make.

Spec→ Implement→ Test→ Debug→ Fix→ Security check→ Deploy→ Verify in production

Every step above runs automatically, end to end. Nothing ships without being tested, security-checked, deployed and verified again at every iteration. And because the work runs deferred and unsupervised, the factory keeps your infrastructure busy instead of idle.

Betamaxx comes as a turnkey agentic software factory. Bring your own model API keys, or take the full setup, and you are ready from the moment you subscribe.

About us

The people behind the factory.

An Ai Applied product

Betamaxx is an Ai Applied product. The two founders have been working in AI for over 20 years, before AI was on the hype. In innovation projects they had to be the visionary, the builder, the project manager and the stakeholder manager all at once. Betamaxx combines those roles into one platform.

Proof, not promises

With Betamaxx, Ai Applied runs four SaaS projects in parallel, without compromising quality. In fact, quality is higher than ever.

Who it's for

Built for the people who own the outcome.

Product managers & product owners

Keep the vision. Skip the juggling.

You dictate what to make. The factory takes delivery off your plate, and every report is triaged against your codebase before it reaches you.

Founders & technical builders

Ship it without a dev team

Dictate what you are building and the factory ships it: code, tests, security checks, deployment. Your first beta users are in the loop from day one.

CPOs & CIOs

Every project ships itself. One view over all.

A ready-made process over every project, with the same gates on every iteration. You see what shipped, what is shipping, and who asked for it.

The result

From vision to production in hours,
guided by the people who use it.

Before Betamaxx: the classical loop takes years, and feedback flows back through a different channel. After: every report is picked up by a Product Officer, every real issue becomes a shipped fix, and the reporting user sees it live. Betamaxx is the bridge.

Hours
from vision to production, automatically

When a cluster goes to Execution, the factory implements, tests and ships it on its own. A Product Officer triaged the idea first; nothing waits for a sprint.

Every voice
users and your team, in one place

Feedback from users, integrable widgets, support mail, helpdesk systems, update announcements, dependency and uptime monitoring, security scanners: all equal reporters, all in one conversation.

Every gate
on every iteration

Tested, debugged, fixed, security-checked, deployed, re-verified through the front end. The discipline never depends on someone remembering.

You decide what gets built. Betamaxx does the building.

User-driven development. Product-market fit. Products that fit your users like a glove, instead of demanding that your users fit the product. This is the way to get there.
