Hi thank you for the question. AI is involved in the below aspects of Maia:
Architecture of the project: I used AI (Claude) to bounce architecture ideas. Building something this complex (especially with Apple Watch and planned features), I wanted something solid as foundation. I have worked on iOS for the last 10 years but I am no expert.
Writing the opening post: As someone already called out, I used AI for grammar and corrections in the opening post. I am not a native english speaker and did not want to have stupid mistakes in the opening post.
Tumblr implementation: This was one of the biggest headache I had during development. Tumblr API does not provide basic info (for example, if a post is nsfw or not). I used Gemini to see what best we can do.
On-device AI: Within Maia, I use strictly on device AI to detect NSFW content within Tumblr. This was the only way out to show media and hide NSFW from timeline (hence you always need to login to Tumblr to see media)
None of the content created within Maia, user data or anything uses AI in any other form or sense. I have been part of Fediverse/Bluesky long enough to know AI is not welcome here and until Maia exists, there will be no AI based feature that will ever be added into it.
UPDATE: I will be shipping an update to allow login without subscription. While I really appreciate the feedback about subscription, I do have server costs for push notifications, developer fee on apple and bills to pay.
I do hope people see the value with the app and there will be more features, networks added in the coming days.
I agree completely. I am in the process of building an app for Lemmy, Bluesky, Mastodon and Tumblr. Getting a single like or comment on the development process keeps me going!!

I hope this provides some clarity.

Hah ha.. Thank you.
I am using Swift/SwiftUI for the iOS and Apple Watch app. :)

At 1Gbps, I think ours is one of the fastest in this part of Germany...
