AI that knows your company.

ASK answers from all your tools with cited sources and runs the follow-up. Permission-aware by design.

Every tool. One place to ask.

Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Slack, Jira, Confluence, Salesforce, ServiceNow, GitHub and more: 72 connector types, each with its own permissions.

Ask once. ASK searches only what you may open.

Here it checks Salesforce, SharePoint and Outlook for you, with your own access in each, and each tool sends back the passage it found.

  1. Your question goes to ASK.
  2. ASK searches Salesforce, SharePoint and Outlook, only what you may open.
  3. Each tool sends back the passage it found, numbered 1 to 3.
  4. The answer arrives with those numbers as its citations.

The answer comes back with its sources.

Each point links to the exact passage, using ASK's AI or your company's own model, even one you run yourself.

Then it does the follow-up.

Agents, schedules, triggers and Buddies draft, file and report. Anything that changes another system waits for your approval.

The same question, asked by three people. Illustration with sample data.
  • Read from each source. Users, groups and sharing come from every connected system and stay in sync. If a source stops syncing, its content is hidden until it syncs again.
  • Checked inside the search. Access is part of every search, before anything reaches the AI model. Nothing is found first and filtered afterwards.
  • Unknown means nobody. Anything whose permissions are unknown or missing is shown to nobody. A file someone uploads stays with them.
  • One check, everywhere. Search, chat, agents, Buddies, workflows, the API, MCP and the chat apps all go through the same check.
  • Runs use their owner's access. Schedules, triggers and Buddies work with the access of the person who set them up, never more.
  • Chats stay private. Company admins and the platform operator can't read people's chats.

Meet Buddies.

Create a buddy, or a team of buddies: personal AI assistants that work for you. Give each a name and a job in plain words. Before it starts, it tells you how it understood the job.

They keep going, on their own schedule.

One continuous conversation, and notes it proposes that you confirm. Buddies run on a schedule, plan their own follow-ups, start when something happens and hand work to your other buddies.

You stay in charge.

Changes in other systems wait for your approval or your own pre-approval. Buddies work only with your access, reach you in ASK, Slack, Teams and WhatsApp, and sign messages to colleagues: (AI Max) for Anna Meier.
