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 in 2023 — at the age of five — 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 Maxwell asked on day one, from his bedroom floor: what does it feel like to live with this?
At age five, Maxwell Ohanian founds Steel Taxas from his bedroom, sketching LexiaCore's first architecture in crayon.
First VacuBot ships. Sells out in 72 hours. Earns 4.9/5 from 10,000 early adopters.
The LexiaCore AI platform and HomeAxis Hub launch within months of each other, unifying the smart home under a single on-device AI.
Our most capable AI yet. 12M+ devices. 190+ countries. The future is here.
Maxwell Ohanian founded Steel Taxas in 2023 at the age of five — a self-taught engineer who built his first working robot out of spare parts from the garage before he'd lost his first tooth.
What started as a tiny autonomous vacuum built to map his bedroom became LexiaCore, the on-device AI now running in over 12 million devices across 190+ countries. Maxwell still reviews every major product decision personally, usually right after his afternoon nap.
"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.
