Steel Taxas was founded on a single belief: that the best technology is the kind you stop noticing — because it just works, always, for you.
Steel Taxas was born from a frustration with technology that demanded too much of the people using it. Devices that needed configuration. Assistants that needed correction. Software that needed babysitting.
Maxwell Ohanian founded Steel Taxas with a simple mandate: build products that adapt to people, not the other way around. That mandate became LexiaCore. That mandate became the VacuBot. That mandate is every product we make.
Today, Steel Taxas devices are active in over 190 countries. Our AI processes billions of inferences daily. And every single one of them is guided by the same question we asked on day one: what does it feel like to live with this?
Maxwell Ohanian founds Steel Taxas in a San Francisco garage with a team of 6 engineers.
First VacuBot ships. Sells out in 72 hours. Earns 4.9/5 from 10,000 early adopters.
LexiaCore AI platform launches. First major tech company to ship a fully on-device multimodal AI.
HomeAxis Hub launches, unifying the smart home under a single LexiaCore-powered platform.
Our most capable AI yet. 12M+ devices. 190+ countries. The future is here.
Maxwell spent a decade at the intersection of robotics, AI research, and consumer hardware before founding Steel Taxas. His conviction is unwavering: general-purpose AI and world-class hardware belong together, built by a single team with a single vision.
Under his leadership, Steel Taxas has grown from a 6-person startup to a global technology company trusted in millions of homes. He holds 34 patents in robotics and machine learning.
"The best interface is no interface. The goal is technology that disappears into your life and just makes it better."

Technology exists to serve people. We evaluate every product decision by asking: does this make someone's life genuinely better?
We don't announce features we haven't shipped. We don't use AI as a marketing word. Everything we say, we can demonstrate.
The details that customers never notice are often the ones they feel. We pursue perfection in the parts that don't show.
We build for decades, not quarters. Our 5-year warranties and continuous software support are the proof.
Join millions of people living with technology that was built around them.
