Max AI

Your always-on business assistant.

Max isn't a chatbot bolted onto a support widget — it's the intelligence layer running across your entire Sidecar platform. Reach it from a sidebar, a dedicated conversation page, support chat, or your own inbox. Ask it questions, assign it work, and let it drive your business forward.

Sidebar assistant

Max rides shotgun on every screen.

Ask Max is pinned as a side panel wherever you're working — building a smart item, editing a worksheet, reviewing a quote. No context switching, no re-explaining what you're looking at.

Dedicated conversation page

A richer AI experience, built into the app.

Beyond the sidebar, Max has its own home in the nav — a running conversation history and an Actions tab for everything you've scheduled. Ask a real business question and Max pulls your work orders, calendar, and deals to answer it, showing exactly which tools it called and what it found — not a guess dressed up as an answer.

Always-present support chat

A chat launcher stays docked on every page of the app — visible in the dashboard, the inbox, your routes map, anywhere. Help is never more than one click away, no matter what you're working on.

Email & SMS, not just in-app

Forward a message to Max over email or text and it works the request — no separate app to open. The same assistant follows the conversation across your shared inbox, wherever the customer wrote in.

Actions

Schedule Max, or just assign it a task.

Give Max an instruction to run once or on a recurring schedule — a follow-up on a proposal, a weekly pipeline summary, a nightly check for overdue invoices. Or hand it a task the way you'd hand one to a teammate: assign it, and Max turns that assignment into a scheduled action on its own.

New action dialog with one-time or recurring type, an instruction, and scheduled or immediate run time

One-time or recurring — run an action immediately, at a scheduled time, or on a repeating cadence.

Assign Max a task — treat Max like a teammate on your task list; the assignment becomes an action Max runs on schedule.

Plain-language instructions — write what you want done, Max figures out how.

Max grows with the trust you give it.
