Whatever they send

Customers don’t write tickets. They send what’s in their hand.

A voice note from the car. A photo of the damage. A screenshot of the order. Mae reads them all - and acts on what they mean.

“…llegó el pedido pero falta el segundo bote de proteína…”

The order arrived, but the second tub of protein is missing.

Conversations into insight

Every conversation Mae handles teaches you something.

Mae doesn’t just answer and move on. Every conversation is logged - how the customer felt, what happened and how it ended - so the patterns show up while they’re still cheap to fix.

  • Mood tracked on every thread - the quietly unhappy customer gets spotted, not lost
  • Satisfaction scores with the why attached - Mae asks the follow-up question for you
  • Ask Mae about your numbers in plain English - answered with the receipts

A support tool tells you what happened. A colleague tells you what it means.

Beside your team, too

Mae faces your customers - and sits with your team, too.

The same colleague who answers the front door reads your numbers, briefs your morning, and backs your team up inside the inbox.

Your brief · this morning

£871.00 traced to messages this week - campaigns £469, broadcasts £274, conversations £128. Your best performer was the restock broadcast.

Where did the £871.00 come from? Who bought (CSV) Their journeys (CSV)

Mae reads the numbers, then hands you the thread to pull.

Every morning, a brief. Every number in it, a question you can ask. Two taps take you from a headline figure to buyer-by-buyer receipts - no report builder, no export wrangling.

Mae finds the money you forgot to ask for.

Mae reads your audience the way she reads your inbox: who converted last time you messaged them, who’s gone quiet since. Then she does the legwork - builds the group, drafts the campaign, and labels exactly why each person is in it. You review. Nothing sends without you.

Mae · suggestion

87 customers bought the last time you messaged them - but haven’t heard from you in 60+ days. I’ve put together a group and drafted a win-back for you to look over.

Has Priya had this issue before?
Twice in March - both delivery delays, both resolved with a voucher. Her mood recovered both times. (3 conversations · sources attached)
Insert suggested reply

Ask Mae, right inside the inbox.

Your team’s copilot as well as your customers' agent. History, policy, past fixes - asked in plain English, answered with sources, one click from becoming the reply.

When a human takes over, Mae stays in the room.

Mae hands off with context - then keeps helping: drafting the reply from everything said so far. Your team does the judgement; she does the typing.

And when it’s done, the customer says how it went · customer experience

ok as long as the replacement is here by Thursday
Mae’s draft · from the agent conversation

“Confirmed - your replacement arrives Thursday before 1pm, tracking to follow. Nothing to send back. Sorry again for the wait, Priya 💜”

MaeDone - Dan will call you Thursday at 2:30. Invite’s in your inbox 👍

Mae doesn’t just answer. She acts - with tool calls.

Mae works with real tool calls into your real systems - calendars, orders, payments, your own API. A customer asks for a callback; she finds the free slot, books it into your diary and sends both invites. Every action logged in the thread.

And she knows when to step back

Mae handles the routine so your people can do what needs a human.

Anything sensitive or complex goes to the right person, with everything Mae has gathered so far. One click, same inbox, zero repeated questions.

Honest by design

Mae says when something needs a person, rather than bluffing through it.

One-click handoff

The full conversation and context attached. The customer never repeats themselves.

On-brand, always

Guardrails keep her in your tone and your policies, every message.

Under the bonnet

No black box. Here’s how she thinks.

You’re putting her in front of your customers, so we’d rather show you the working than ask you to take it on trust.

Step 1

Reads everything

Text in any language, photos of the damage, voice notes, PDFs. Mae works from what the customer actually sent, not a keyword match.

Step 2

Pulls your knowledge

Your site, docs, policies and product catalogue - the answer comes from your sources, and she says so when they don’t cover it.

Step 3

Checks the guardrails

Your tone, your rules, your limits. What she’s allowed to offer, promise and send is set by you - and enforced on every message.

Step 4

Acts with real tools

Stripe payments, calendar bookings, Shopify store data, your own API. Actions are logged in the thread - you can see every step taken.

Step 5

Knows when to step back

Low confidence, sensitive topic, or a customer who needs a person? Mae hands off with the full context attached, rather than bluffing.

Step 6

Everything on the record

Every conversation and handoff is kept. You can see exactly what Mae couldn’t answer - and closing the gap takes minutes, not a sprint.

Ask us how Mae decided anything, on any conversation, and we can show you the working. That’s the standard a colleague is held to - so it’s the standard Mae’s held to.

Measured, not marketed

This isn’t a promise. It’s already running.

And when you’re ready for voice

Mae types - or talks, when you want her to.

Mae AI Agent

“Hi, I’m Mae. I answer your customers in seconds - out loud, if they’d rather talk. Everything on this page, I do for real. Come and say hello - I’m at the bottom of your screen.”

The same voice as the live widget on this page - ask her out loud, she answers out loud.

Questions, answered.

What happens when Mae isn’t sure, or gets something wrong?

Mae’s built to say so, not to bluff. Low confidence, a sensitive topic, or anything outside your sources gets handed to a person with the full context attached - rather than an invented answer. Every conversation is kept, so you can see exactly what Mae couldn’t handle and close the gap.

Will Mae replace my team?

No - Mae takes the repetitive volume off them so they can spend their day on the conversations that actually need a person. When Mae hands over, your team picks up with the whole history in front of them, and the customer never repeats themselves.

Is my customer data used to train the AI?

No - your conversations aren’t used to train foundation models. Mae works from your own sources - your site, docs, policies and product data - to answer your customers, and what’s yours stays yours. See our security page for the full answer.

How long before Mae’s actually useful?

Quickly - and Mae does more than read your website back. Mae works from your actual product catalogue, your policies and the answers you’ve given before, so the right product gets recommended, the right rule applied, and actions taken through your tools (orders, calendar, payments) - rather than just quoting a page. You’ll see this on the demo; we build and tune your own version with you on your setup call once you’re on board.

Can I control what Mae’s allowed to say and do?

Completely. You set the tone, the policies, and what Mae can offer, promise, book or refund - enforced on every message. Mae works inside those guardrails, or hands to a person.

What does Mae cost?

Mae isn’t a bolt-on you pay for per seat - included in the plan, working every channel you switch on. Plans differ by how much you send and how many contacts you hold. See pricing for how the tiers and allowances work.

Put Mae to work for your customers.
