Personalization, Themes & Appearance

Tune how Maximo AI sounds and how the app looks and behaves. Personalization, theme, and composer choices are account-global, so they follow you across every workspace and device. Appearance and behavior live under Settings > Appearance, while Maximo's voice lives under Settings > Personalization.

Personality presetsDefault, Friendly, Efficient, Professional, Candid, Quirky, Cynical, Nerdy
ThemesMaximo, Anthropic, Codex, Google, GitHub, Linear — each with day + night
ModeSystem, Light, or Dark
Send keyCmd/Ctrl+Enter (default) or Enter
Custom InstructionsUp to 1,500 characters
ScopeAccount-global — follows you across workspaces and devices
  • Chat Personality: pick how Maximo writes from eight presets — Default, Friendly, Efficient, Professional, Candid, Quirky, Cynical, and Nerdy — and switch anytime.
  • Custom Instructions: add plain-language guidance (e.g. 'prefer concise answers; use bullet points'), up to 1,500 characters, with one-click suggestion chips.
  • About You: optional nickname, occupation, traits you want in replies, and a free-text note so answers feel more personal.
  • A master switch turns all Maximo personalization on or off; when on, it shapes tone, style, and format only — it never overrides safety, your workspace role, factual accuracy, tool rules, or the language you write in.
  • Themes: choose a colour family — Maximo (default teal), Anthropic (warm clay), Codex (monochrome black & white), Google (Material blue/green/amber/red), GitHub (slate navy), or Linear (indigo) — each with full day and night variants.
  • Mode: pick System (follow your device's light/dark setting), Light, or Dark; the sun/moon toggle flips day and night within the current theme.
  • Send key: choose whether the chat composer sends on Cmd/Ctrl+Enter (default, Enter adds a new line) or on Enter (modifiers add a new line). The choice applies to the main composer, side chat, and the chat popout.
  • Response length: set a default hint for Maximo's replies — Concise, Balanced, or Detailed.
  • Personalization adds a small amount of context to each chat, so Custom Instructions and About You are length-capped to keep usage predictable.

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 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.

Who can add or manage Bring Your Own Model (BYOM) connections?

Only Business Owners and Administrators have permissions to manage BYOM connections and import/edit models under Settings > Integrations > Bring Your Own Model. Workspace Members and Viewers cannot manage connections.

Are BYOM models available to everyone in the workspace?

Yes, once a BYOM model is configured and enabled by an owner or administrator, it is available company-wide to all workspace members (Owners, Admins, Members, Viewers) through the model selector in Maximo AI chat.
