I’m Chris Burns. I build companies, and for the last stretch of my career I’ve put AI to work on real jobs with one rule I don’t break: AI drafts, a person decides.

One night recently I woke up in the middle of the night with this whole app in my head, start to finish. My first thought was: this is going to be up against the big boys. Usually that’s where I’d back off. This time I said, damn straight I’m going to do it.

I’ve always wanted to use technology to help people be more productive and better informed, and to give them back their time. I’ve built so many tech products over the years and never had the confidence to put them out in public. This one is going out.

Here’s what I keep seeing. The big moments don’t wear people down. The hundred small things do. The unread inbox. The renewal that crept up. The follow-up you meant to send on Tuesday.

So I built My Ace™ as a hand of cards instead of one bot. Each card takes one lane off your plate: your inbox and calendar, your bills, your errands and research, your morning. You can make your own for anything else. They’re plush playing cards on purpose, because the help should feel like it’s on your side of the table.

AI has come a long way, and it still has a long way to go. A lot of people are wary of it because they can’t tell what it really does and doesn’t do. So My Ace™ is plain about both, and every card follows the same house rules:

  • Nothing risky happens without your yes.
  • My Ace™ never pays for anything. You get the checkout link, and you decide.
  • Your conversations never train an AI model.
  • Emails you mark off-limits, like your bank, your investments or your lawyer, are never opened.

My Ace™ is powered by Claude. It’s early. I’m building it with a small group of beta testers, and every bit of feedback lands with me. If something’s rough, tell me. That’s the deal.

My hope is simple. That you feel confident your information stays yours. That you don’t have to hand it to a giant company to get help. And that you know exactly what My Ace™ does, so it feels easy to use.

People ask me why anyone would pick My Ace™ over the big names that just stormed the market. Fair question. Here’s my answer, checked against their own pages. And one more thing none of them can say: when something’s wrong, you’re telling the person who built it.

Dots, Muse, Grok Bot, Instinct

Why My Ace™?

A whole hand, not one agent.

Dots and Muse each give you one agent. My Ace™ deals you a team of cards, each working its own lane, with the Dealer splitting the big jobs.

It never pays for you.

Dots, Muse and Grok Bot can all check out for you once you approve. My Ace™ finds the thing and hands you the checkout link. Meta plans to take “a small fee from transactions” when Muse buys for you. Instinct’s terms appoint it as your agent to enter agreements and transactions on your behalf.

Your conversations don’t train AI models.

Dots’ own onboarding says: “Depending on your settings, we may use conversations with your dot to improve our models.” Instinct’s own policy says it may train its AI models on your information. You can opt out, but content flagged for safety review can still be used.

Separate cards really are separate.

Grok Bot’s FAQ says not to use separate bots as a security boundary, because they share one computer. My Ace™ can give each chat its own private computer.

It meets you where you are.

Approve right in the app, or reply with a four-digit YES code on Telegram or by text.
