Customer-facing agents

AI that talks to people outside your workspace — customers, partners, applicants — grounded in your data and workflows.

Customer-facing mode powers Maicos Agents for enterprise teams. Unlike internal AI Staff, these agents interact with external users via configured channels — answering questions, collecting info, and triggering workflows.

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.

External audience

Serve customers and partners without giving them workspace access.

Grounded answers

Agents read approved tables, docs, and policies — not hallucinated fluff.

Human handoff

Escalate to your team when confidence is low or rules require it.

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

Customer-facing agents run autonomously within guardrails. They invoke workflows for orders, tickets, and bookings; update tables with conversation outcomes; and coordinate with internal AI Staff so your team sees full context when they take over.
