Product pillars
The illusion engine behind Meeting Mirage.
Built for professionals who value “focus time” over “meeting time.” We take your availability seriously.
Strategic-sounding titles
Mirage crafts meetings like “Interdepartmental Framework Calibration” and “Elastic OKR Discovery Session” so nobody dares to override.
- Context-aware buzzwords
- Persona-based theming
- Executive-grade jargon density
Escalate the blockade
All fake events are marked Busy with priority stripes. If someone double-books, Mirage auto-spawns an even more critical meeting.
- Calendar escalation engine
- Conflict auto-resolution
- Color-coded unavailability
Believable paper trail
Plausible Zoom links, redacted action items, and Slack status automation like “Leadership Offsite”. Your absence feels intentional.
- Auto Zoom + notes
- Slack/Teams status sync
- Executive offsite masking

404-as-a-Service
Blame-forward 404s at scale
A SaaS platform that generates custom 404 pages designed to convince users it was their fault.
- “You typed that wrong, champ.”
- “Have you tried calming down and clicking slower?”
- “This page never existed. Neither did your last relationship.”
