Answer incoming calls, common questions, take messages and route customers to the right person or team.
What is Maxe AI Employee?
Maxe AI Employee is a self-service AI business assistant platform from Maxe Feed. Businesses configure an AI employee using their business information and approved knowledge, then choose a role — receptionist, sales, customer service, appointment or order desk.
Depending on how you configure it, your Maxe AI Employee is designed to answer incoming calls, answer approved business questions, capture leads, qualify sales inquiries, collect quote requests, capture appointment requests and transfer callers to a human on your team.
Phone activation is available for eligible businesses after the required setup and verification steps are completed. Outbound AI cold calling and mass SMS are not supported.

How Maxe AI Employee Works
- Tell us about your business. Provide your business information and website so your AI Employee has the right context to work from.
- Choose your AI Employee. Choose a Receptionist, Sales, Customer Service, Appointment or Order Desk role.
- Build its business knowledge. Maxe Feed prepares business knowledge for your AI Employee from approved information about your business.
- Review and configure. Review the knowledge, greeting, responsibilities, language and human-transfer settings before your AI Employee goes live.
- Activate. Eligible businesses can activate phone functionality after completing the required setup and verification steps.
An AI Employee That Learns Your Business
Maxe AI Employee can prepare business knowledge using approved information from your website and business profile. You review, edit and approve each item before it becomes part of your AI Employee.
Your AI Employee is designed to rely on that approved business knowledge rather than inventing information it does not have. If it does not know the answer, it says so and hands the caller to a human on your team.
Your knowledge base is private to your organization and is not shared with other businesses on the platform.
Business Use Cases

AI When It Can Help. Humans When They're Needed.
Every Maxe AI Employee is designed with human handoff at its core. You configure the human destinations that make sense for your business — sales, support, the owner, the order desk or any other configured destination — and the AI Employee is designed to transfer or escalate calls when the caller wants a person, when the request is out of scope, or when your rules say so.
Built for Legitimate Business Use
Maxe AI Employee includes account verification, responsible-use requirements and controls intended to reduce abuse of the platform. It is designed for inbound business conversations, not for spam. Live phone activation is available for eligible businesses after the required setup and verification steps are completed. Outbound AI cold calling and mass SMS are not supported.
