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. ## Questions. ### Does it set prices? No. It builds the worksheet from your rates. Your estimator sets the price. ### Does it work with our ERP? Through a skill with a login or API key in the Vault. ### How long does it take to set up? 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. ### Do we need a developer? No. You set up each workflow by asking your agent in plain words. A repository is only needed for coding work. ### What does it cost? $149 per workspace per month, with unlimited people and $20 in cloud credits each month. Your AI provider bills its usage separately. ## Put your AI teammate to work. Set it up in minutes. Start with one workflow, and let it earn the next one.
