Introducing Maia by Make: Build AI & automation through conversation, transparently

Patrik Simek, CTO and co-founder at Make, introduces Maia, Make's new feature for building automations and AI using natural language clarity, transparency, and confidence.

Waves - Maia

For years, Make has had one simple mission: to free your ideas. We’ve empowered you to automate, build with AI, connect tools, and create new opportunities. Every step of the way, we’ve asked ourselves: how can we make building in Make even faster, more visual, and more fun?

How people want to build today

Lately, you’ve probably heard about vibe-coding – the idea of turning natural language into code. You describe what you want, and suddenly, something is built for you. But even this can feel intimidating sometimes: Is the code safe? Will it scale? Can I easily customize and maintain it?

Make’s solution

But what if you could create powerful automations, even AI agents, simply by having a conversation? And what if that also came with full visual clarity, transparency, and confidence in deploying what you've built? And what if you could know that what you build is secure, reliable, and scalable?

Imagine having a buddy at your side – an expert in Make – looking over your shoulder, ready with guidance and advice whenever you need it. Imagine giving everyone the power to build and create AI and automation through a conversation, watching your words become a powerful reality. Imagine seeing the logic unfold in real time, so you could understand and build things smarter, faster, and more efficiently than ever before. Imagine not just building, but co-creating with full transparency and control.

This has been Make's vision from the start. And for a decade now, we've been delivering on our mission to create visual experiences – ones that are both intuitive and powerful. This is how more people across more businesses will be able to build, automate, and unlock more value.

Introducing Maia

So now we're delivering the next step in AI and automation, and we're doing it in a classic Make way. Visual. Accessible. Functional. Powerful.

Maia by Make.  Maia is your personal buddy, one that enables you to build automations and AI solutions end-to-end, all through natural conversation.

In a nutshell, Maia is:

  • A faster way to build AI and automations. Maia is the way you can accelerate how quickly your ideas become working realities.
  • A smarter way to learn. Especially for beginners, Maia's an easier way to get started. We wanted to empower more people across more parts of our platform.
  • A fully visual, transparent control center. You see exactly what’s happening, so you always stay in control.

Let’s have a look at how Maia works. In this video, you’ll be able to see how, with Maia, you can co-create ticket sentiment analysis scenarios for your customer support team.

Get to know Maia

Maia is still in active development. As with our big announcement out of last year's Waves, Make Grid, we’ll soon open an early access program so you can join us in building Maia together. That’s the best way to ensure we deliver real value – not just another overhyped AI product. Sign up today to make sure you're among the first to work with Maia.

The future with Maia

We’ve shared how we envision Maia’s capabilities in the near future. But what does the journey farther ahead look like for Maia?

  • Maia will be omnipresent. Maia will be always on, everywhere you go in Make, ready to assist at any moment.
  • Maia will understand your landscape holistically. Maia will go beyond just your workflows to grasp dependencies and connections across your systems.
  • Maia will proactively monitor your landscape. Maia will identify areas that need your attention and offer recommendations to improve everything you build.

We can’t wait for you to experience Maia by Make!
