## Where AI helps IT and admin.

Maito covers the repeat questions and the follow-up work. It answers IT questions in the help channel from your company knowledge, handles access requests by routing them to the owner, and troubleshoots with your runbooks. It reviews who has access, tracks laptops and equipment, writes IT how-to guides from your tickets, and closes out a departing employee's access with a task for each owner.

Changes stay with IT. Owners approve each access request and IT grants it. IT removes access after a review, and a security lead decides on a new vendor. An admin makes the changes a runbook calls for. Maito has no authority to grant or remove access itself, and it does not touch your admin consoles on its own.

Start with the help channel. Share your runbooks and common answers in a Slack conversation with @Maito, and tell people to mention it with their question. Check what it gets wrong for a week and correct it. Then set up the access review as a Loop that compares your admin consoles and HR system each month.

## Questions.

### Can it change access in our tools?

It can if you connect the tool and allow it. Most teams keep granting access with IT and let it collect approvals.

### Does it follow our runbooks?

Yes. Share them once and it walks through your documented steps.

### 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.
