Overview

Ask AI routes each question to whichever specialist agent owns the answer — scheduling for shift questions, leave management for PTO balances, service desk for ticket status, and more, one agent per MangoApps app — instead of a single model guessing from a document index. Because each agent is wired into that app's own live data, answers reflect what's actually in your schedule or ticket queue, not just what a policy document says.

When a request spans two areas, one agent hands the rest to another app's assistant mid-conversation, so a single question can cover both without being asked twice. Anything that deletes or removes data always pauses for your explicit confirmation, and most other actions that write data do the same.

Available from a web sidebar, the mobile app, and a browser extension, with one conversation carrying across all three.

Highlights

Ask any workplace question in plain language from web or mobile and get an answer grounded in your company's own knowledge.
Route each question automatically to one of 80+ specialized agents — scheduling, HR, leave, service desk, reporting, safety, and more.
Attach a photo, PDF, or spreadsheet and have the AI read it, or use voice mode to speak your question and hear the answer.
Take action, not just chat — agents look up live data and perform writes only after you explicitly confirm.
Turn a corrected answer into durable "Company Brain" knowledge that every future question can draw on, once an admin approves it.
Escalate to a person — or auto-open a service desk ticket — whenever the AI is not confident it can help.
The assistant comes to you — playbook results and approvals land in your Inbox, and you can reply to any of them to continue the conversation.
Tracks your multi-step goals across sessions — onboarding a hire, migrating a policy — so you don't carry the mental load, private to you with its own review page.

Screenshots

Use cases

Policy lookups
An employee asks "What is our PTO policy?" and gets an answer sourced from the tenant knowledge base and published policies, not a generic web answer.
Shift & leave self-service
A frontline worker asks "What shifts do I have this week and how much leave is left?" — Ask AI fans the question out to the scheduling and leave agents and answers both.
Report generation for managers
A manager types "Show headcount by department this quarter" and the reporting agent returns a table/chart inline in the chat.
IT / HR help with escalation
A user describes a problem the AI can't confidently resolve; it offers a human handoff and can auto-open a service desk ticket so nothing gets dropped.
Reading an attached document
Someone drops a PDF pay stub or a photo of a schedule into the composer and asks a question about it — the AI extracts the text or analyzes the image to answer.
Curating Company Brain
When a user corrects an Ask AI answer, an admin reviews it in Verified Knowledge and approves it so the correction becomes trusted context for everyone.
Guided multi-step work
A manager onboarding a new hire lets Ask AI track it as a Journey — "you've done 2 of 4, next set their leave balance" — across days, instead of re-asking each step and remembering what's left.
Proactive results delivered to you
A scheduled playbook drops last week's attendance summary into a supervisor's Inbox; they reply "which store had the most late arrivals?" and the assistant answers in the same thread.

FAQ

Responses are grounded in your organization's knowledge base, admin-verified corrections ("Company Brain"), any files you attach to a message, and live data pulled from connected apps through agent tools. Platform help articles can optionally be included by an admin.

From a chat sidebar in the web app, the mobile app, and a Chrome browser extension. All three route through the same agentic pipeline and share one conversation, so you can start a question on the web and continue it on mobile. In the browser extension, answers can also be grounded in the LinkedIn, email, or calendar page you're currently viewing.

Each question is automatically routed to the best-fit specialist agent out of 80+ built-in domain agents (scheduling, HR, leave, service desk, reporting, safety, and more). Multi-turn sessions stick with the same agent ("Continuing with: "), one agent can hand a goal off to another app's assistant, and you can force routing by @mentioning an agent inline (e.g. @hr, @scheduling).

Specialized agents can both read live data (schedules, leave balances, tickets, reports) and perform actions. Any action that writes or changes data always pauses for your explicit confirmation — with a before/after diff preview — and the AI never writes on its own.

Yes — up to 3 files per message, 8 MB each. Images (PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF) are analyzed with vision, and PDFs are read via text extraction (up to 100 pages; scanned image-only PDFs may have no extractable text). Word, Excel, and CSV files can be attached but are not currently parsed into text, so the AI won't read their contents.

Yes. Voice mode lets you speak a question and hear a spoken answer, including a live, hands-free OpenAI Realtime conversation you can interrupt naturally. Your admin sets one AI voice, response style, and speech pace for the whole organization, chosen with an in-settings preview. Voice is metered: sessions are capped at 15 minutes, plus an admin-configurable daily limit (30 minutes per user by default, or unlimited).

Ask AI is the unified conversational assistant that routes each question across every specialist agent and grounds answers in org-wide knowledge. Personal Agent is one of those specialists, hard-scoped to your own bookmarks, drafts, tasks, and inbox. Workforce Bots are standalone document-Q&A bots (HR Policy, SOP, Compliance, etc.) that admins install against specific knowledge bases. You reach the same intelligence through Ask AI's single chat surface.

Conversations are scoped to your business tenant and never shared across organizations, with content moderation and prompt-injection checks on every request. History is per-user — each user has their own searchable conversation, not a shared thread.

Journeys — the multi-step goals Ask AI tracks with you, like onboarding a hire or migrating a policy — are on by default, private to you, and managed on your My Journeys page; admins can turn Journeys or auto-detect off under Agent Guidelines → AI Features. Durable cross-session memory of personal facts (your preferences, what you're working on) is a separate capability provided by the Muscle Memory app: once an admin enables it and its "Remember durable facts for each user" setting, those facts are strictly per-user — managers and admins never see them — and you can review or erase them on your private My Memory page.

When confidence is low it says so rather than guessing, and can offer a handoff to a person; below a confidence threshold it can automatically create a service desk ticket so the request is tracked to resolution.
