Our Vision 1.0
Last Mile Now started as an open source organization with the aim of solving the “last mile issue”, the most expensive and difficult part of any product deployment in technology. There is a vast amount of great resources and information online, but delivering them at the right time to the right person might be challenging due to factors such as languages spoken, education level, habits, etc. We wanted to change that.
We believe a personalized chatbot that understands individual's needs can unleash the potential of the internet for everyone. We are committed to using technologies such as AI, chatbots, text messages, and social media such as Instagram to create an effective information delivery platform.
We open-sourced projects through it, so people working on similar projects don’t have to start from scratch.
Our Vision 2.0
Later, we discovered that because open-source maintainers don’t get paid, many critical open-source projects lack resources to add features or even fix bugs. To address this, we decided to start recruiting non-coding members into LMN to help support a set of curated open-source projects that align with our goals—making education accessible.
Our Vision 3.0: The Last Mile AI Revolution
The "Last Mile" problem in AI is currently the biggest bottleneck; powerful models exist, but the bridge to everyday utility for non-technical users and small businesses (SMBs) is often missing.
LastMileNow teaches AI to small businesses and seniors, in plain language and with a focus on practical, everyday use.
What We Do
Focus: Education, Access, and Trust. We focus on AI literacy, "AI Driving Schools" for SMBs, and senior citizen companionship. We also explore local-first AI to protect privacy and care about "Data Dignity."
LMN works through specialized initiatives, aiming to bridge the gap between legacy systems and modern LLMs as a human-centric translator for the AI era.
