Slide 1: Prox OS
An AI-native Web OS for solo founders, community apps, personal data, and future agent workflows.
Speaker note: Position Prox OS as an operating layer, not another generated app tool or static dashboard.
Slide 2: The Problem
AI can generate more software than a solo founder can safely organize.
- Ideas live in chats.
- Specs drift across docs, issues, and code.
- Apps, sources, permissions, launches, and decisions are scattered.
- AI work becomes hard to review when context is private or implicit.
Speaker note: The bottleneck is not only code generation. The bottleneck is operating memory.
Slide 3: The Product Wedge
Prox OS turns product context into an operating surface.
- Docs as team memory.
- Apps as OS surfaces.
- Roadmap and governance objects visible in the shell.
- Storybook, app registry, and design tokens as implementation truth.
- Future agents with scoped inputs, outputs, and review paths.
Speaker note: Keep the claim grounded in what exists or is documented. Do not promise autonomous agent execution.
Slide 4: What Exists Today
- Browser OS shell with registry-driven apps.
- Internal Docs and Docs app.
- Governance, Join Us, Roadmap, Pricing, and platform prototype apps.
- App contract and Proxied App direction.
- Storybook / UI Workshop for component truth.
- AI Control Plane docs, role maps, and task workflow templates.
Speaker note: Be explicit that several platform objects are prototypes or planning docs.
Slide 5: Why Now
Software 3.0 makes natural language a serious interface, but text without governance creates product debt.
Prox OS explores a middle path:
prompt
-> docs
-> task graph
-> app / UI / story
-> review
-> release note
-> roadmap statusSpeaker note: This is the "prompt-driven design system" story.
Slide 6: Who It Is For
- AI-native solo founders.
- Micro-teams building product systems.
- Developers who want app surfaces around their workflows.
- Communities that may eventually publish OS Spaces.
- Contributors who work through docs, scoped prompts, and reviewable artifacts.
Speaker note: Avoid making it sound enterprise-ready today.
Slide 7: What Makes It Different
| Existing platform | Strong at | Prox OS angle |
|---|---|---|
| GitHub | Code identity and collaboration | OS Space, app runtime, governance layer |
| Hugging Face | Typed resource hubs and discovery | Personal/community OS Spaces |
| v0 / Lovable | Prompt-to-app generation | Post-generator registry and operating layer |
| Notion / Linear | Knowledge and task management | App-native shell plus AI-readable product system |
Speaker note: Do not frame this as direct replacement. Frame it as a layer.
Slide 8: Launch Ask
Try the preview, read the internal docs, and tell us which operating object should become real first:
- Join Us role map.
- Governance Console.
- Roadmap.
- Pricing / Founder Preview.
- App registry and Proxied Apps.
- Storybook-backed UI patterns.
Speaker note: The CTA is feedback and early contributor alignment, not payment.
Slide 9: Not Yet
Not implemented yet:
- Live billing.
- Public marketplace.
- OAuth production auth.
- Autonomous agent runtime.
- MCP gateway.
- Enterprise compliance.
Speaker note: Honesty is part of the launch posture.
Slide 10: Closing Line
Prox OS is a text-first, system-first, AI-native, craft-aware operating system for people building with AI.
Speaker note: This should match the Join Us app and Design Operating System language.
