Hi, I'm metsys. The sidekick for solo builders.

You build the thing. I'll do everything around it.

I remember every project, do the research, outreach, posts and inbox, hand the making to your other agents, and ask before anything goes out.

metsys is in closed beta. Your words go into your access request.

The app

Four places. Not a dashboard of doom.

Home is where you talk to me, with whatever needs you beside the chat. Review holds everything waiting for your yes. Activity shows what I'm doing, what I did and what's next. Every project gets a page of its own.

Starting out

Tell me the way you'd tell a friend.

No forms. Say "new project", paste links, drop the deck. I build a memory of it, ask the one question that matters, research, and come back with a plan you approve.

  • One question at a time. Never a questionnaire.
  • Every decision saved with its why, so you never brief me twice.
  • A plan with options and my pick. Approve and let it run if you're feeling brave.

New project. Fieldnote: voice notes from the field that turn into data a lab can search the same day. Deck attached.

Got it, and saved. One question before I plan: who pays, the researcher or the lab?

YOU09:14

The lab. Researchers are the users.

Then labs are the market. I saved that as a decision, with why. Here's a plan with three ways in:

Plan · 3 optionsWaiting on you
A

Pilot first

Five labs on a free spring pilot, then grants with their letters behind us.

My pick
B

Grants first

Three research-tool grants close before June. Apply, then recruit labs.

C

Content first

A weekly field-methods post to build a list before asking anyone.

Your week

The list you didn't start a company for.

This is what usually eats the week. Once you approve a plan I work through it on a schedule, and each thing ends up in one of four places. Only one of them needs you.

Four petals. Four jobs.

My logo isn't decoration. Each petal is one thing I do, and you'll see them all over the app, so you always know what kind of thing you're looking at.

01 · Remembers

I remember every project, and why.

Facts, decisions with their reasons, how you like things written. Everything I do starts from it.

  • Teach me something in one line: a fact, a decision or a preference.
  • Correct me and I keep the old version as history.
  • Say forget, and it's gone, history and all.
  • Links, PDFs and notes become sources I can quote back to you.

02 · Does the rest

I do the work around the building.

Approve a plan and it runs on a schedule: checking deadlines, watching the market, finding leads, investors and grants, drafting posts and emails, reading replies, booking calls.

  • Leads and investors saved with why they fit and where I found them.
  • A dossier on each person, with what's useful when writing to them and where each fact came from.
  • Grants and competitions found, deadlines watched, applications drafted from what I know.
  • When an institution goes quiet, I look for someone else there.

03 · Hands off

I hand the making to your agents.

I write. For images, video, audio and code I file a task instead, and Claude Code, Codex or any MCP client you sign in picks it up, makes it, and hands it back for your review.

$ claude mcp add --transport http \
    --scope user metsys https://your-metsys/mcp
$ claude mcp login metsys

You sign each one in yourself, on a page that says what it can and can't do. It can claim tasks and hand in work. It can't approve, send, publish or read your inbox.

04 · Asks first

I ask before anything goes out.

Every email, reply, booking and post waits as a card that shows exactly what will be sent. Say yes, say no, or tell me what to change. Go on, press it.

  • The button says what will happen: Yes, send it. Yes, publish it.
  • Ten seconds to change your mind after yes. It goes out on time even if you close the tab.
  • J and K to move, Y and N to decide, for when there's a stack of them.

First email (cold outreach)

Ines Moreau · Delta Field Lablead[email protected]Runs a twelve-person field team interviewing in three languages.Found on the lab's team page
Subject: A pilot for your field team?
Hi Ines, I'm building Fieldnote, a tool that turns voice notes recorded in the field into structured data your team can search the same day. I read about your lab's work with community interviewers across three languages, and it made me think Fieldnote could save your researchers a great deal of transcription time. We are looking for a small number of labs to try it this spring, free of charge, and I'd love to talk about whether it might be useful for your group. Would you have twenty minutes in the next couple of weeks? Best,
Nothing goes out until you say yes.

Your rules

You decide how much rope.

Everything that reaches a person asks first, until you say otherwise. One action at a time, and per project if you like.

Trust is earned, ten at a time.

When the last ten of an action all went out exactly as I wrote them, with no edits and no undos, I'll offer to do that one on my own.

Offer. Nothing changes a policy by itself.

Plain answers

Fair questions.

Will it email people without asking me?

Not unless you tell it to, one action at a time. By default every first email, reply, booking and post waits for your yes, and after yes you still have ten seconds to undo.

Does it read my whole inbox?

No. It keeps mail from people it already knows and from threads it is part of. The rest of your mailbox is never read into metsys.

Does it post to X or LinkedIn for me?

It drafts posts for X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Reddit and your blog. You copy them, or connect a publish webhook (Zapier, Make, Buffer or n8n) and approved posts go out through it, under your policy.

Can it make images and video?

Not itself. It writes the brief and files a task, an agent you connected does the making, and you approve the result before anything uses it.

What can my other agents see?

A task's brief and the project notes it needs. They can claim tasks and hand in work. They can't approve, send, publish or read your inbox, and you can disconnect them at any time.

Will it bug me all day?

If you want it to ping you, give it one address you own (Slack, Discord, ntfy and the like). It sends counts and project names, never an email body or a recipient, and bunches a burst into one message.

Closed beta

Nothing needs you.
Go build.

metsys is in closed beta while we get it right with a few builders. Tell me about your project and we'll let you in as places open.

Only the metsys team reads this.
