# Explanatory Diagrams

## Top-Level Architecture Overview

Let's start by understanding the two basic components of Maax AI: 

### 1. [**Web App Overview**](/main/start-here/web-app-dashboard.md) **(**<https://app.maax.ai/>)

### **2.** [**API Overview**](/main/technical-guides/apis.md)

MAAX API is a set of endpoints that your tech team will be interacting with. These endpoints will allow you to feed an incoming message from a user into MAAX AI, and get an answer that gets sent back to the customer.&#x20;

MAAX AI is intelligently designed to consider the history of a conversation with a specific prospect, utilizing the settings configured in the dashboard.&#x20;

The technology you use for marketing, sales, or customer support, which may include tools like **CRMs, Zapier, Mailchimp, ManyChat, etc.,** is where you'll engage with MAAX API.&#x20;

For instance, you can configure Zapier so that each time a new email arrives in a particular inbox, the email body is inputted into the MAAX API, which generates a response that is then sent back to the customer.&#x20;
