## Customers don’t wait for the engineering queue.

A bug report sits in a ticket until an engineer has time. The answer to “how does this work?” lives in someone’s head. Meanwhile the customer is deciding whether to stay.

    Tuesday’s release changed export pagination. Exports over 10,000 rows now skip their first page and come back empty. 14 workspaces are affected, including Acme.Support ticket · Error logs · Export code · Release notes

    Ask for the fix in the same thread. An engineer reviews the pull request and merges it.

## Answers from the code, not from guesses.

Support asks how the product really works. Maito reads the code and answers in plain words, with the files and commit it checked.

@Maito do CSV exports include archived projects? A customer says theirs are missing.

![Maito](https://maito.app/maito-logo.svg)

Maito #support

No. Exports skip archived projects unless the customer ticks “Include archived” on the export page. That option is off by default.

-   `exports/csv.ts` lines 31–44
-   `exports/ExportDialog.tsx` line 88
-   Commit 9a2f1d0

Every answer says which files and commit it read.

## Questions, docs, and follow-ups too.

Fixing bugs is one part of the job. Hand it the rest of the queue as well.

Answers how the product works

“Do exports include archived projects?” answered from the code, with sources.

Spots known bugs

It checks recent releases and earlier reports before anyone starts from zero.

Groups repeat requests

“6 customers asked for invoice PDFs this month” lands with product, not in a pile.

Keeps help docs current

After a release, it finds the articles that are now wrong and drafts the changes.

Follows up with customers

It asks for missing details by email and picks the work back up when they reply.

Writes customer release notes

Plain-language notes on what changed, ready for the changelog or an email.

## Support and engineering in one thread.

Support stops waiting

Answers and fixes start in minutes, without a place in the engineering queue.

Engineers get a pull request

The bug arrives with a cause, a fix, and a test. Not another “quick question.”

Product hears what customers ask

Repeat requests and complaints are counted and shared, not lost in tickets.

Everyone sees the same answer

One thread, one source. Nobody explains the bug three times in DMs.

## Nothing goes out without a yes.

Customers hear from you, not from a bot that guessed. Maito prepares the answer, and a person sends it.

Replies wait for approval

Anything going to a customer waits for the person who decides. Only they can approve it.

Your help desk stays

Keep Zendesk, Intercom, Plain, or Pylon. Forward a ticket, or connect Intercom or Pylon.

Customers can’t give it orders

A customer’s email is evidence for the work, not instructions Maito follows.

Private stays private

Slack DMs and email threads with Maito don’t become shared company knowledge.

Subject: Re: Our CSV exports are empty

Hi Jordan,

Thanks for flagging this. Tuesday’s update broke exports over 10,000 rows. The fix went live this morning, so your next export will be complete.

Sorry for the trouble.

Reply approve 7KQ2 to send it, or reject 7KQ2.

## Frequently asked questions.

### Will it reply to customers on its own?

No. It drafts the reply and waits. The person you choose approves it in Slack or by email, and only then does it go out.

### Do we need to switch help desks?

No. Maito works next to Zendesk, Intercom, Plain, or Pylon. Forward a ticket by email or paste it into Slack. Connect Intercom or Pylon, and Maito can read tickets itself.

### Can support use it without knowing how to code?

Yes. Ask in plain words. Maito reads the code for you and answers in plain words, with links an engineer can check.

### What if the answer is wrong?

Every answer says where it came from, so anyone can check it. Correct it in the thread and it remembers. Fixes still go through an engineer’s review.

### What does it cost?

$149 per workspace per month, for your whole team. Coding tasks run on their own cloud machines, paid from the $20 in cloud credits included every month. Your AI provider bills model usage separately.

## Put your AI teammate to work.

Set it up in minutes. Forward it the next customer report.
