Max
What changes

After Max, the team calendar runs differently.

You bring Max on, and the meeting load starts shrinking back to what the work actually needs. The Wednesday with no meetings becomes real. The standing weekly that should be biweekly becomes biweekly. The standup that runs 45 minutes becomes 15. Your team stops measuring its productivity by how busy the calendar looks. Your ops manager builds the systems that scale the team, instead of moderating who gets which slot. The team operates at the altitude you hired them for.

Why this matters

Internal team scheduling is the silent productivity tax. The standup that should be 15 minutes runs 45. The weekly sync that should be biweekly is still weekly two years later. The all-hands that should be async is still a meeting. Max watches your team's calendar shape and recommends what to keep, what to cut, what to compress.

What Max does

Purpose-built for team operations

Meeting hygiene audit

Max analyzes your team's calendar weekly. Surfaces meetings that consistently run over, recurring meetings nobody attends, and meetings that should be emails.

Cadence optimization

Weekly sync that should be biweekly. Quarterly that should be monthly. Max flags drift and recommends adjustment.

Focus time protection

Max blocks deep work time across the team. Enforces a no-meeting day per week. Defends focus blocks from one-off invites.

Team capacity awareness

Max tracks how much of the team's week is in meetings. Flags when it crosses 50 percent and surfaces what to cut.

Cross-team coordination

When two teams need to sync, Max finds the right cadence, the minimum-viable participants, and the time-of-day that fits both teams' rhythms.

Meeting-to-email recommendations

Max identifies meetings that are status updates and suggests converting them to async written updates.

What you can do with Max

1

Your team is drowning in meetings.

The audit comes back: eight hours that could be cut, four that should be async, one Wednesday that should be meeting-free. You make the calls. The team gets the time back. Productivity stops being a feeling you can't measure.

2

A new manager joins. They ask: what's the right cadence?

The right cadence is suggested based on the role and the team. Weekly 1:1, biweekly skip-level, monthly career conversation. They onboard with a calendar that already looks like how your best managers operate.

3

Three teams need to plan together for next quarter.

The kickoff lands. The breakouts get scheduled. The synthesis session shows up at the end. The rooms are booked. The agenda template is shared. Planning happens because someone built the schedule that planning needed.

4

You realize you've been back-to-back all week.

Buffers appear between meetings. The meetings that could be delegated get flagged. The ones that should be canceled show up in a list. By Wednesday, your day has breathing room.

How Max works with your team

One agent. Your whole team.

Max is hired by your company, not by a single person. Once Max is connected to your workspace, Max is available to everyone on your team who needs the work done. One subscription. One price. The leverage scales with your team, not the cost.

The COO

Sees meeting load shrink to what the work actually needs. The hidden productivity tax disappears. The team operates at the altitude they were hired for, not at the altitude their calendar demands.

The People Manager

Stops being the calendar-traffic-cop for their team. The standing weeklies get audited. The standups get tightened. The 1:1s happen on the right cadence without ten reschedules.

The Operations Lead

Stops moderating who gets which slot. Starts building the systems that scale the team. The org chart works because the calendar reflects it.

The Team

Gets focus time defended. Gets the Wednesday with no meetings. Gets the cadence that matches the work, not the calendar that fills itself. Stops measuring productivity by how full the calendar looks.

A typical mid-market ops function
  • 1 COO or Head of Ops
  • 5-10 people managers
  • 1-2 ops leads
  • Meeting load growing quarter over quarter
Loaded coordination cost across the function ~$100K/year
The same function with Max
  • One Max
  • Auditing cadence, defending focus time
  • Ops time spent building, not moderating
  • Meeting load shrinks 20-30%
Max, introductory $9,540/year · ~10% of the team's coordination cost

Max serves operations functions of 5-20 managers well. Larger orgs typically deploy multiple Max instances by business unit, with shared cadence intelligence at the company level. Your CSM helps you size the right deployment during onboarding.

Per-seat productivity tools scale with your headcount. ANCI doesn't. A 20-manager org pays the same as a 5-manager one. The leverage compounds as your team grows.

How we stand behind Max

30 days. Full refund. No questions.

If Max isn't running meeting hygiene audits, cadence optimization, and team scheduling the way we promise by day 30, we refund every dollar. No questions, no surveys, no exit interview. The guarantee is here because hiring an agent should feel as safe as hiring a person, and that means knowing you can change your mind.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does Max remove meetings without asking?

No. Max surfaces recommendations. Humans approve. Max never cancels a meeting on its own.

How does Max handle meetings across different teams' tools?

Max reads Google and Microsoft calendars natively. For team tools like Slack and Linear, Max pulls meeting context (what was the meeting about) but doesn't take action there.

Can Max work for an individual contributor, not a manager?

Yes. ICs can use Max to audit their own meeting load and suggest changes to bring to their manager.

Who needs to grant access to set this up?

The executive (or their EA) can complete personal calendar access in about 30 seconds. For full team deployment, your IT administrator needs to approve the integration — most teams complete this in under 10 minutes. We provide a setup guide for IT administrators you can forward to them.

What about meetings with external customers?

Max distinguishes between internal meetings (where it has full visibility) and external meetings (where it stays out of the customer-facing coordination). Customer meetings are Kai's territory.
