Max AI chatbot inside the Truss dashboard

Max lives in a side panel accessible from any screen. It reads your client's documents, tax returns, and emails to answer questions with full context. Toggle Research Mode for deep analysis with web search, or stay in standard mode for fast answers. Every conversation is saved and organized by project, contact, or entity.

Max AI tax research mode

Tax research without leaving the return.

Ask Max about current tax rules, filing requirements, or planning strategies and get sourced answers in seconds. In Research Mode, Max searches the web for the latest guidance so you don't have to alt-tab to a browser. Ask from within a project and Max already has the client's context.

Max AI analyzing tax return documents

Analyze returns and flag what matters.

Max can read tax returns, search across forms and schedules, and surface specific line items. Ask it to review a return and flag unusual items, compare year-over-year changes, or find a specific number buried in a K-1. It searches by form name, dollar amount, SSN, or any pattern you describe.

Max AI searching client documents and emails

Search documents and emails in one question.

Max searches across all uploaded files, W-2s, 1099s, bank statements, and even your Gmail or Outlook emails. Ask "what was the total interest income?" or "did the client mention anything about a rental property?" and Max finds the answer across every source.

Max AI drafting client emails

Draft emails with full client context.

Ask Max to draft an email about open items and it already knows what's missing from the project. One click sends the drafted message through your connected email account. No copy-pasting, no switching apps.

"Truss has genuinely revolutionized our workflow process."

Research Mode enables deeper analysis with web search. Toggle it on when you need Max to look up current tax rules, IRS guidance, or case law. Standard mode is faster and best for quick document lookups and routine questions.

Yes. Max only accesses data within your firm's account. All conversations are isolated per user and per firm. Client data is encrypted at rest and in transit and is never used to train AI models.
