Meet Matthew.

Nina, Matthew’s personal assistant
Hiiii! I’m Nina!Matthew’s personal assistant.

Matthew MacSharon has spent 28 years building and turning ideas into businesses.

At thirteen, Matthew was broadcasting an online radio station from his bedroom in Toronto, bringing people together around games and conversation. In 1999, his early idea for TAGII used physical swipe cards to connect people. The tools have changed, but bringing people together has stayed at the centre.

His work has taken him through construction, design, invention and technology. Through TAGII, Matthew offers coaching, organizes gatherings and develops products. He is developing a personal AI assistant to remember your conversations and connections, help manage calls, tasks and appointments, and keep time open for family and friends.

He wants technology to help us remember who matters, discover what we can do together, and make more room for family, friends and our interests and ambitions. That’s what he is building TAGII for.

What TAGII is developing.

I’m building TAGII to connect the people we meet, the things we learn and the tools we use. The app brings conversations together, personal assistants support their owners, and Upload Mesh connects devices and files. This is the direction of the system we’re developing.
