  • AI Automations is owner/admin-only because workflows can expose sensitive signals, approval queues, customer communications, and scheduled background actions.
  • Automations are paid-plan features; Free users are sent to Plan & Billing when they try to create or run workflows.
  • The Signals view shows live business checks such as low stock, unpaid invoices, invoice follow-up opportunities, payment reminders, quote follow-ups, abandoned leads, overdue tasks, budget overruns, and expiring quotes.
  • The Comms view installs customer communication workflows for invoice follow-ups, payment reminders, quote follow-ups, and abandoned lead nudges.
  • The Scheduled AI task panel creates one-off or repeating jobs with title, instructions, first wake time, optional stop-after time, wake-every interval in minutes, max runs, and delivery channels.
  • Scheduled AI tasks can watch live topics such as product events, industry news, customer updates, market changes, or operational exceptions, then send compact updates while saving the work in chat.
  • Delivery channels include in-app, browser push, email, WhatsApp, and Telegram when those channels are connected and enabled.
  • Users can pause, resume, stop, run now, delete, modify, or open the saved chat log for each scheduled AI task.
  • Customer emails use the business logo, company name or DBA, currency, document summary, serious wording, secure invoice payment links, and clear next-step buttons.
  • Invoice-based automation emails can create or reuse secure /pay token links so customers can open the invoice and pay without dashboard access.
  • Quote follow-ups and lead nudges use reply actions until a public quote or public lead response page exists.
  • Approval security controls in-app, email, WhatsApp, Telegram, and Slack approval channels.
  • Auto-approval rules can be enabled only for selected workflow types and are limited by the company currency max amount, defaulting to 10,000.
  • Runs and approvals show pending runs, drafted actions, recipients, message body, approve and reject controls, and execution history.
  • Background AI jobs run outside live chat, reuse a normal Maximo chat session, and return durable analysis records.
  • The temporary development email preview page can render the current automation email family, including approval request previews, before testing real sends.

Fast answers

Easy FAQs

What should I do first after creating a business?

Open Business Settings, complete the company profile, set the currency, upload the logo, confirm billing, then add clients, inventory, or leads depending on what the business sells.

Why do I see a plan or upgrade message?

The app checks the active workspace's effective subscription, subscription state, and usage caps before opening or changing protected records. Owner-created workspaces can inherit the owner's account plan from another billing-home workspace, while joined team workspaces use that company's owner plan. A 402 response usually means the effective plan is free, inactive, or has reached a limit for that feature. File Manager checks file count, storage, and per-file upload size: Free 50 MB, Plus 250 MB, Pro 2 GB, and Max 10 GB. AI Images checks image credits, daily and personal caps, model access, source limits, File Manager count, and storage. Maximo Cloud Computer checks computer minutes, daily/monthly caps, max run length, and concurrency. Gemini Live starts on Pro, while Grok Voice remains available on paid plans. Support also follows the plan: Free uses guide, community, and email; Pro and Max include monthly Google Meet allowances.

What does RPB mean on the benchmark page?

RPB means Real Performance Benchmark. It is MyTabulon's evidence-adjusted public model score for real agentic business work, combining task completion, tool call accuracy, reasoning, safety, user sentiment, latency, and cost efficiency.

Which records can global search find?

Global search can find feature pages plus clients, leads, inventory, invoices, quotes, deals, projects, tasks, files, expenses, team members, and AI chats within the active company when the signed-in user's role allows it. Member file results are limited to files and folders they uploaded, added, or generated, and sensitive owner/admin destinations stay hidden.

What does MyTabulon Calendar show?

MyTabulon Calendar combines appointments, task due dates, AI task wakeups, approval deadlines, automation workflows, AI jobs, customer reminders, lead follow-ups, invoice due dates, project start and due dates, and payroll reminders. Use month, week, agenda, search, source filters, and the selected-day panel to inspect the schedule without changing the source records.

What are the main keyboard shortcuts?

Use Ctrl K or Meta K for the command palette, ? or Ctrl / for the reference, Ctrl B or Meta B for the sidebar, g chords for navigation, n chords for quick create, and r r to refresh page data.

How do payment links stay safe?

Payment links use long random tokens. Share the generated link, receipt, PDF, or email with customers, not a dashboard URL. The invoice number helps the business identify a document but is not the secret.

What is Business Memory used for?

Business Memory stores durable company knowledge for Maximo AI: facts, preferences, style, source records, private notes, approved memories, retention rules, provenance, and conflict checks. It is available only to business owners and administrators. Company memories describe shared business facts; first-person or personal work memories stay private to the originating user. Members, Viewers, and Employee Viewers cannot open memory, search it through Maximo chat or voice, receive selected memory in AI context, or have their chats silently captured into company memory.

What is the difference between Maximo AI chat and AI Automations?

Chat is live, conversational work. Automations are proactive monitors, scheduled workflows, approval-gated actions, and scheduled AI jobs that keep running outside a live chat while saving their updates into a normal Maximo chat session.

Can Maximo schedule AI work from chat or voice?

Yes for owners and administrators. Chat and voice share the same Maximo tool layer, so either one can create scheduled AI tasks when the user has permission and asks Maximo to wake later, watch a live event, repeat checks, keep them updated, assign work to AI, or run a realtime monitor. The job can set a first wake time, optional stop time, wake-every interval in minutes, max runs, and notification channels, then save every update in a normal chat log.

Can Maximo use and control the calendar from chat or voice?

Yes, but only within the signed-in user's role. Chat and voice use the same Maximo calendar and Calendly tools. Maximo can read allowed calendar data and, when permitted, create or update the underlying tasks and appointments, add customer reminders, update lead follow-ups, manage AI jobs and workflows, run Google Calendar sync, list Calendly links and availability, create booking links, book invitees, cancel Calendly meetings, mark no-shows, and sync Calendly bookings. Owner/admin-only integration and automation tools remain blocked for lower roles.

What does wake every mean on a scheduled AI task?

Wake every is measured in minutes. It controls the gap between repeated AI updates after the first wake time. Use 0 or leave the repeat interval off for a one-time run, or set a value such as 15 to have Maximo check again every 15 minutes until the stop time or max runs is reached.
