9 workflows
- Start here Check every quote request is complete Each request for quote is checked for revision, quantities, material, finish and date, and anything missing is flagged before you start. Sales · When something happens Works with Gmail, Microsoft 365, Box, Airtable.
- Start here Draft the cost worksheet for a quote Maito fills in the costing sheet from your own rates, shows what's missing, and leaves the price to you. Sales · When you ask Works with Airtable, Microsoft 365, Box.
- Start here Schedule machine maintenance before it breaks Machines due for service are listed from real hours and dates, with downtime picked around the work. Operations · On a schedule Works with Airtable, Microsoft 365, Google Calendar, Linear, Asana.
- Compare supplier quotes by delivered cost Three supplier PDFs become one comparison with freight and units lined up. Operations · When you ask Works with Gmail, Microsoft 365, Airtable, Box.
- Assemble the production traveler for a job When an order is released, Maito builds the traveler from the approved revision and routing and checks it before it prints. Operations · When something happens Works with Box, Notion, Confluence.
- Open a corrective-action record for a defect A defect report is linked to the lot and order, the investigation is assigned, and nothing is closed until quality decides. Operations · When something happens Works with Airtable, Microsoft 365.
- Keep measuring tools in calibration Calibration dates and certificates are tracked, so an out-of-date gauge is flagged before it's used on a job. Operations · On a schedule Works with Airtable, Microsoft 365, Box, Google Calendar, Gmail.
- Show how much cash is really free Combine what's owed, what's due and payroll dates so you see spendable cash, not just the bank balance. Finance · When you ask Works with QuickBooks, Xero, Airtable, Microsoft 365.
- Log payment promises and invoice disputes A reply like I'll pay Friday or this was damaged becomes a dated case, and the chase pauses until it's checked. Finance · When something happens Works with Gmail, Microsoft 365, QuickBooks, Xero, Linear, Asana.
Where AI helps a manufacturer.
Manufacturers lose time to quoting and record-keeping. Maito checks every quote request is complete, drafts the cost worksheet for a quote, compares supplier quotes by delivered cost, and assembles the production traveler for a job. It also schedules machine maintenance before it breaks and keeps measuring tools in calibration, using your ERP, spreadsheets, files and calendar.
Engineers and quality staff own the decisions. Maito doesn't approve a quote price, release a job to the floor or close a corrective action; a person signs each. Calibration and maintenance records are reminders for your team, and anything about product safety stays with quality.
Start with incoming quote requests. Forward a typical one to the workspace address and ask @Maito to list what is missing and draft the reply to the customer. Compare that with how your estimator handles it. Then set up the calibration check as a Loop that emails the owner of any tool coming due and posts the weekly list.

Minutes for the workspace: create it, connect your AI provider and connect Slack. Each workflow then takes one request to your agent, plus signing in to any tool it needs.
No. You set up each workflow by asking your agent in plain words. A repository is only needed for coding work.
