What is Max, and how does it work?

Max is an AI coworker that lives in Slack. A team member hands Max a task in plain language, and Max turns the team's context into next steps, reminders, escalations and a morning briefing. Nothing is sent until a person approves it, and every output shows the sources it was prepared from. The vendor says Max works with 25+ tools such as Gmail, Google Calendar, HubSpot, Salesforce, Jira, Asana and Notion. Its MVP covers delegated reminders, escalations, completion tracking and a daily Morning Brief with open tasks, key messages, the calendar and a suggested focus. Security controls include workspace permissions, tool-level access, activity logs and output previews.
