Ninety, the cloud-based workplace management platform optimized for organizations utilizing the Entrepreneurial Operating System® (EOS®) and utilized by more than 18,500 companies, announced the launch of Ask Maz. The proprietary conversational artificial intelligence engine integrates directly with core enterprise data layers, allowing executive teams to securely query internal operations metrics, evaluate long-term strategic execution, and optimize cross-functional team accountability using plain-text natural language prompts.
Modern executive teams generate immense volumes of raw operational telemetry during standard corporate planning cycles. This data routinely spans multi-tier organizational structures, varying from quarterly performance milestones and weekly metric scorecards to unresolved systemic challenges, cross-department task logs, historical meeting notes, and high-level strategic playbooks. While this distributed documentation remains essential for day-to-day corporate alignment, drawing actionable operational insights frequently forces company leaders to navigate fragmented digital tools, execute manual cross-referencing loops, and synthesize missing context before establishing high-impact choices.
Dissolving Fragmented Reporting Loops via Centralized AI Analysis
The software update eliminates manual reporting overhead by providing a unified gateway to interrogate active business intelligence databases. Because the system resides natively inside Ninety’s existing business operating environment, it references real-time workplace configurations rather than generic external datasets.

The context-aware engine acts upon natural language queries to immediately surface critical organizational trends, allowing leaders to execute complex internal diagnostic checks on demand:
-
Strategic Priority Tracking: Assessing whether specific active quarterly targets are structurally driving the organization’s overarching one-year corporate milestones.
-
Operational Variance Detection: Instantly identifying off-track scorecard metrics across decentralized business divisions before they disrupt core deliverables.
-
Predictive Risk Mitigation: Highlighting unresolved operational challenges and systemic vulnerabilities that require immediate evaluation prior to high-stakes quarterly planning sessions.
-
Accountability Mapping: Reviewing functional ownership records within live corporate accountability structures to eliminate role confusion across the enterprise.
Turning Workspace Data into Immediate Operational Action
Unlike generalized external generative artificial intelligence platforms that require operators to manually clean, prepare, and upload confidential corporate background files, the system functions inside a secure data boundary. It references live core business tools—such as priority trackers, digital scorecards, issue repositories, open task lists, team news flashes, structured organizational charts, and long-range strategic plans—to provide contextual, company-specific answers.
When the system uncovers an underlying operational anomaly or a risk pattern during a user interaction, leaders can instantly initiate remedial workflows. Users can generate structured follow-up items, document operational issues, issue team updates, and log discussion points directly from the conversation interface, enabling complete operational follow-through without exiting their active digital workspace.
“Nobody comes to software because they want AI,” said TJ Kneale, Head of Data and AI Products at Ninety. “They come because they’re trying to build a great company. Ask Maz acts as a thought partner, helping leaders understand what’s happening, uncover risks and opportunities, and move from information to action faster.”
“Ask Maz helps leaders ask better questions, see what’s really happening inside their businesses, and make better decisions without spending hours assembling information from multiple places.”
The new conversational artificial intelligence functionalities are live and immediately available to organizations running on the Ninety operating system. Corporate executive officers, operational integrators, mid-market business owners, and enterprise organizational growth specialists can review system architecture blueprints, evaluate strict user access security configurations, and request a tailored platform workflow demonstration by visiting the company’s official digital workspace portal.
