Maia turns plain-language intent into a visible agent or automation canvas

Summary: Make released Maia, a conversational co-worker inside its visual Scenario Builder. Users describe an outcome in plain language; Maia asks clarifying questions, selects and configures modules, and visibly builds the workflow step by step. It can also customize templates, explain existing scenarios, modify automations, and troubleshoot failed modules. Maia is available to all Make users, with plan-dependent usage.
Why it matters: Many no-code builders hide the construction process and present a finished result that users may not understand. Maia’s visible canvas gives a non-software-engineer an opportunity to inspect the graph, question decisions, test modules, and learn enough to maintain the workflow.
