Q1 2026 Roadmap
January - April 2026
Vision
Parachute is local-first, voice-first extended mind technology. We're building two entry points into one ecosystem:
- Parachute Daily — An accessible gateway for people new to AI. Voice journaling with reflection and personalized briefings.
- Parachute Pro — The full extended mind experience for those who want sovereignty over their data and deeper AI partnership.
Both are powered by Parachute Computer — your personal AI server that can run on your own machine, giving you complete control.
Product Architecture
Parachute Pro connected to your own Parachute Computer is completely free. Hosted options provide convenience for those who prefer it.
Success Metrics (April 22, 2026)
| Track | Metric | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Parachute Daily (hosted) | Monthly Recurring Revenue | $1,000+ @ ~50% margin |
| Parachute Daily (hosted) | Paying users | 200-1000 @ $1-5/mo |
| Parachute Computer | Active users | 100+ (stretch: 1,000+) |
| Both | User satisfaction | Users feel great using it |
Track 1: Parachute Daily (Hosted)
Voice journaling with AI reflection and personalized daily briefings. The Flutter app connects to Parachute Cloud.
Core Loop
- Record voice → transcription → journal entry
- Reflection agent → prompts to go deeper
- Daily report → personalized news and context relevant to you
- Profile builds over time → system learns who you are
Technical Approach
Cloudflare stack (Workers, D1, R2) rather than per-user VMs. MCPs behave differently in hosted vs self-hosted contexts — same interface, different backends. Simpler, more cost-effective, with data isolation at the storage layer.
To Build
- Cloudflare infrastructure (Workers, D1, R2)
- Hosted MCP implementations (journal read/write, assets, profile)
- Reflection agent running in cloud
- Daily report generation (news + personalization)
- Profile system (building user model from journals)
- Stripe billing integration
- Onboarding flow for non-technical users
Track 2: Parachute Computer (Self-Hosted)
Full Parachute experience — Daily + Chat + Vault. Runs on your machine (native app bundling base server), private VPS, or VM. Powers Parachute Pro for free.
Current State
Working as a daily driver. Close circle starting to test. Small bugs and inconsistencies being polished out before broader release.
To Do
- Bug fixes and polish (ongoing)
- Documentation for self-hosting options
- Onboarding experience for power users
- Feature additions based on user feedback
- Distribution: Regen Hub → LVB graduates → Twitter/Claude Code community
Shared Work
- Profile system — Building user model from journals, works across hosted and self-hosted
- MCP architecture — Consistent interface that adapts to deployment context
- App polish — Flutter codebase serves Daily, Pro, and Computer variants via flavor flags
Timeline
January (Remaining)
- Finalize scope document
- Continue daily polish and bug fixes
- Expand close circle testing
- Begin Cloudflare architecture design
February
- Cloudflare infrastructure implementation
- Stripe billing integration
- Regen Hub users on Computer
- Daily hosted alpha (invite-only)
March
- LVB cohort graduates → Computer users
- Daily hosted beta / soft launch
- Twitter/Claude Code marketing begins
- Profile system mature
April 1-22
- User growth push
- Polish based on feedback
- New Venture Challenge pitch
- ATLAS final presentation
- Hit metrics or know where we stand
Stretch Goals
- Hardware pendant — Marvin leading hardware development in his ATLAS class. Prototypes by end of semester, likely something solid.
- Hosted Parachute Pro — TBD, depends on progress with Daily hosted
