Maximo Notes guide

Maximo Notes is a scratch pad with a brain. Write anything off-head — a half-thought, a plan, a to-do buried in a ramble — and it saves raw as a Jot. Maximo then quietly reviews it: pulls clear action items into Tasks, marks existing tasks done or in progress when your note says so, links related notes, suggests a title and labels, and records every action in the note's activity trail. Notes are personal to you by default; share one with the workspace only when you choose. The Notes plugin is activated by typing @notes in the composer.

Maximo Notes: Scribble Anything, Maximo Does the Rest

Maximo Notes is a scratch pad with a brain. Write anything off-head — a half-thought, a plan, a to-do buried in a ramble — and it saves raw as a Jot. Maximo then quietly reviews it: pulls clear action items into Tasks, marks existing tasks done or in progress when your note says so, links related notes, suggests a title and labels, and records every action in the note's activity trail. Notes are personal to you by default; share one with the workspace only when you choose. The Notes plugin is activated by typing @notes in the composer.

  • Jots vs notes: a Jot is a raw quick capture — unorganized on purpose, saved exactly as you wrote it. A note is structured with a title. Ask Maximo to tidy any jot into a note; the original scribble is always preserved and viewable.
  • Proactive AI review: shortly after you write or update a note, a light AI pass (reasoning always on high) reads it, creates tasks from clear action items, updates existing tasks the note shows progress on ('shipped the logo yesterday' marks that task done), links clearly related notes, and adds a one-line summary. You get a notification describing exactly what it did, and the note's Activity trail keeps the full history.
  • Privacy is absolute: flip a note to private ('AI off') and Maximo never reads it — no review, no chat access. Maximo can mark a note private if you ask, but only you can unmark it.
  • Personal by default: your notes are yours alone. Share an individual note with the whole workspace from its drawer (or ask Maximo), and pull it back to personal any time. Replies inherit the thread's visibility and privacy.
  • Threads: every note can carry replies, so a scribble grows over time — reply from the app, from chat, or by replying to the saved-note confirmation in Telegram or WhatsApp.
  • Links and backlinks: connect related notes explicitly; both sides show the connection. Maximo also links notes it recognizes as the same topic during review, always labeled as AI-made.
  • Capture from anywhere: type @notes in Maximo chat, or start any Telegram/WhatsApp DM to your linked Maximo bot with @notes (any capitalization) — the rest of the message is saved raw as a jot and you get a confirmation in your own language.
  • The Notes plugin is activated by typing @notes (or /notes) in the composer; its tools and guidelines load only while active, so an idle plugin costs zero tokens. Maximo has full control: list, read, create, edit, tidy, label, pin, archive, link, review, and delete (deletes are confirmed first).
  • The Notes page is a compact liquid-glass scratch pad: masonry cards with reveal-on-scroll, pin and archive, label filters, live AI review states, a detail drawer with the thread, connections, and activity trail — great on mobile and desktop, day and night mode.
  • Limits are enforced by plan: Free stores 100 notes with 20 AI reviews a month; Plus 1,000 notes and 300 reviews; Pro 10,000 notes and 2,000 reviews; Max 50,000 notes and 10,000 reviews. Daily review caps (5/30/150/600) keep budgets smooth.
  • Notes follow the signed-in user's role: owners, administrators, and members write; viewers are read-only. Notes content is yours — Maximo refuses to store credentials, API keys, or card numbers.

Fast answers

Easy FAQs

What should I do first after creating a business?

Open Business Settings, complete the company profile, set the currency, upload the logo, confirm billing, then add clients, inventory, or leads depending on what the business sells.

Why do I see a plan or upgrade message?

The app checks the active workspace's effective subscription, subscription state, and usage caps before opening or changing protected records. Owner-created workspaces can inherit the owner's account plan from another billing-home workspace, while joined team workspaces use that company's owner plan. A 402 response usually means the effective plan is free, inactive, or has reached a limit for that feature. File Manager checks file count, storage, and per-file upload size: Free 50 MB, Plus 250 MB, Pro 2 GB, and Max 10 GB. AI Images checks image credits, daily and personal caps, model access, source limits, File Manager count, and storage. Maximo Cloud Computer checks computer minutes, daily/monthly caps, max run length, and concurrency. Gemini Live starts on Pro, while Grok Voice remains available on paid plans. Support also follows the plan: Free uses guide, community, and email; Pro and Max include monthly Google Meet allowances.

What does RPB mean on the benchmark page?

RPB means Real Performance Benchmark. It is MyTabulon's evidence-adjusted public model score for real agentic business work, combining task completion, tool call accuracy, reasoning, safety, user sentiment, latency, and cost efficiency.

Which records can global search find?

Global search can find feature pages plus clients, leads, inventory, invoices, quotes, deals, projects, tasks, files, expenses, team members, and AI chats within the active company when the signed-in user's role allows it. Member file results are limited to files and folders they uploaded, added, or generated, and sensitive owner/admin destinations stay hidden.

What are the main keyboard shortcuts?

Use Ctrl K or Meta K for the command palette, ? or Ctrl / for the reference, Ctrl B or Meta B for the sidebar, g chords for navigation, n chords for quick create, and r r to refresh page data.

How do payment links stay safe?

Payment links use long random tokens. Share the generated link, receipt, PDF, or email with customers, not a dashboard URL. The invoice number helps the business identify a document but is not the secret.

What is Business Memory used for?

Business Memory stores durable company knowledge for Maximo AI: facts, preferences, style, source records, private notes, approved memories, retention rules, provenance, and conflict checks. It is available only to business owners and administrators. Company memories describe shared business facts; first-person or personal work memories stay private to the originating user. Members, Viewers, and Employee Viewers cannot open memory, search it through Maximo chat or voice, receive selected memory in AI context, or have their chats silently captured into company memory.

Who can add or manage Bring Your Own Model (BYOM) connections?

Only Business Owners and Administrators have permissions to manage BYOM connections and import/edit models under Settings > Integrations > Bring Your Own Model. Workspace Members and Viewers cannot manage connections.

Are BYOM models available to everyone in the workspace?

Yes, once a BYOM model is configured and enabled by an owner or administrator, it is available company-wide to all workspace members (Owners, Admins, Members, Viewers) through the model selector in Maximo AI chat.
