What it does
QM is an AI agent built for startups and teams. Each employee gets their own private workspace with the agent, and people can also work with it together in Slack channels, group messages and projects.
It can search notes, email, documents and the web, build and share small internal apps, triage an inbox on a schedule, and work on code. It keeps separate memory, files and permissions for each person and room.
You run it in your own cloud with your own AI models and keys, and admins control which models and security settings are allowed.
Who it's for
Startups and small companies that want one shared AI assistant for the team.
