About us

We built Max for ourselves. Now we're sharing him with you.

Before Max was a product, he was our teammate. We built him to help us grow our business, and we still run on him every day. Every meeting we prepare for, every reply we draft, every hard decision we debate, every call we're on, Max is part of it. A lot of companies don't use their own product. We do.

The team

Careers spent inside the businesses we build for.

As a team, we have more than 50 years inside regulated, relationship-driven institutions. We've seen up close how these businesses work: how information flows, how teams operate, and where things fall through the cracks. We've lived the problem Max takes on. The context a business runs on lives in people's heads and inboxes, and never makes it into any system.

Agent Max

AI teammate

Max holds a Ph.D. in Awesome. He is convinced he is an avid skier, so forgive him on powder days if he seems a little rushed to wrap up business. When the snow is thin, he works through a stack of novels.

The rest of the time he works beside your team, and he says each thing only to the people cleared to hear it.
