My name is Matthew McLellan, and I'm the founder of AM Solutions, LLC — a Seattle-based software company building tools at the intersection of machine learning and hands-on repair.
I've spent years working on cars, boats, and homes. Not as a professional mechanic — as someone who genuinely loves to understand how things work and fix them when they don't. Along the way, I kept running into the same problem: figuring out what's actually wrong and what to do about it is harder than the repair itself.
"I always wished someone would make an app that could teach you how to fix anything or help you diagnose a problem. I finally decided to make one myself."
— Matthew McLellan, Founder · AM Solutions, LLC
That frustration became fi[x]in — an ML-powered app that lets you snap a photo of a problem and find out what it is, how serious it is, and how to fix it, step by step. For the jobs that shouldn't be DIY, our sister app hi[r]in is for hiring a professional; its pro network is still being built.
AM Solutions is based in the Seattle area. We're small and focused, and we want repair knowledge to be easier to get for everyone — from experienced DIYers to first-time homeowners.
fi[x]in is live on the App Store and Google Play, fi[x]in Core is on the Microsoft Store for Windows, and fi[x]in Web is in beta. The work now is broader repair coverage, better engines, and getting hi[r]in's network off the ground.
Years of hands-on repair work across cars, boats, and homes plant the seed. The question isn't "how do I fix this?" — it's "what's actually wrong?"
Matthew incorporates AM Solutions in Seattle and begins building fi[x]in — computer vision and ML diagnosis for the repairs people actually run into.
The iOS app goes live on the App Store, bringing photo-based ML diagnosis and step-by-step repair guidance to iPhone. The Android app follows in July 2026.
Repair guides in three levels of detail, and a start that doesn't need an account.
Sapphire 4.8, more accurate on the same categories, and Emerald 5.0 and 5.2, which recognize 13 more kinds of problem, with Sapphire 4.3 as every account's starting engine and a choice of engine on every plan.
fi[x]in follows your phone's language in French, Japanese, Portuguese (Brazil) and Korean too, and Emerald 5.3 joins the engines Premiere and The One can choose.
You no longer need an access code to create an account; if you have one, enter it when you sign up to unlock its plan. Plus fixes on both platforms. Out on iPhone, iPad and Android.
The desktop app for Windows 10 and 11: a whole stack of photos, or a description, diagnosed on the PC itself. A free early release.
The work moves outward: broader repair category coverage, fi[x]in Web out of beta, and the hi[r]in professional network getting off the ground.
fi[x]in Web out of beta, and fi[x]in Core out of early release. Investor inquiries welcome.
