AI Modes · Autonomous

Autonomous AI within your rules

Let AI Staff execute approved workflows, update records, and send notifications — without asking every time.

Autonomous mode is for trusted, repeatable work. Define what AI can do — which workflows, tables, and integrations — and let it run. You stay informed through summaries and audit trails, not per-step approvals.

Mix

Combine modes

Collaborative at work, autonomous at home

Traditional tools

One-size-fits-all AI — either a passive chatbot or a risky auto-pilot with no middle ground.

With Maicos

Graduated control from side-by-side chat to scheduled check-ins to autonomous execution and external agents.

Key capabilities

Built into Maicos — not bolted on.

Execute workflows

AI triggers and completes multi-step flows within policy.

Proactive action

Update tables, send emails, create tasks when conditions match.

Audit trail

See what autonomous AI did in usage history and chat logs.

How it works

Three steps from familiar tool to AI-powered action.

1

Pick a mode

Set collaborative, scheduled, autonomous, or customer-facing per area, task, or workflow.

2

Set guardrails

Define what AI can access — tables, integrations, approval gates.

3

Run with confidence

AI acts within policy; you review summaries or step in when needed.

Built for AI

Autonomous AI Staff still respect namespace boundaries and workflow permissions. Enterprise admins scope which tasks allow autonomy. Personal users might enable it for routine family calendar updates but keep work email in collaborative mode.
