Many AI tools help you write, search or organize. Makeo is designed to take the next step: understand the request, use the right context, choose the necessary actions and carry them out across your workspace.
“Move tomorrow’s meeting with David to Friday, email him, create a follow-up task, and draft a LinkedIn post.”
Morning inbox
“What needs my attention today?”
Makeo: Makeo surfaces relevant emails, tasks and meetings in one brief — then can draft replies or create follow-ups.
Hiver: Compare how Hiver surfaces priorities versus Makeo’s cross-workday brief.
Customer follow-up
“Reply to Sarah, move our meeting to Thursday and create a task for the proposal.”
Makeo: One request can prepare the email, move the calendar event and create the task — with review before sends when needed.
Hiver: Hiver may cover parts of this flow; Makeo is designed to orchestrate the full chain.
Social work
“Draft a LinkedIn post from this announcement and prepare replies to new comments.”
Makeo: Makeo connects publishing and comment drafting in the same workspace as email and tasks.
Hiver: Check whether Hiver includes built-in social publishing and comments, or focuses elsewhere.
Knowledge
“What do our documents say about this customer agreement?”
Makeo: Makeo can answer from selected knowledge sources (documents, sites, Drive/OneDrive/SharePoint where connected).
Hiver: Hiver may offer chat over mail/meetings or external knowledge — verify against their current docs.
External business system
“Check the invoice status and create a follow-up if it’s overdue.”
Makeo: With user-configured MCP connections, Makeo can query permitted tools and create follow-up work in the same flow.
Hiver: See whether Hiver documents MCP or equivalent tool connections for this kind of action.
