2.0 · New interface, Skills and connectors

MAIA in a new design, with Skills, connectors (MCPs) and a 7-day trial. · Published: November 13, 2026

MAIA 2.0 is finally available! MAIA has a new design, now works with Skills and connects external tools through connectors (MCPs). Here is an overview of everything that is new.

New interface

MAIA has a new interface with a clearer design.

Chats, Projects, Workflows and Skills are arranged more clearly and are quicker to reach.
The features you know are still there, gathered in one place.

The new MAIA 2.0 start page with the sidebar entries “New chat”, “Projects”, “File manager”, “Workflows”, “Skills” and “Connectors” and the input field in the middle

Skills

Skills are saved capabilities that MAIA applies to suitable tasks.

A skill bundles instructions, templates and expert knowledge for a particular kind of task.
MAIA recognizes when a skill fits the request and applies it.
Combined with Workflows, recurring tasks are done to the same standard every time.

You find your skills under “Skills” in the sidebar. Use “New skill” to create your own.

The “Skills” page with the “New skill” button, the “All”, “Yours” and “Shared with you” filters and one of your own skills in the list

Connectors (MCPs)

With MCPs, MAIA works directly in the tools your team already uses. MCP stands for Model Context Protocol, an open standard for connecting AI and software.

MAIA works with your existing access rights and asks before it sends or creates anything.
Your admin decides which systems are connected and who may use them.
Your admin can add more MCP servers by entering their URL.

To see which connectors are available to you, open “Connectors” in the sidebar and go to “Browse”.

The “Connectors” page on the “Browse” tab with connectors such as Atlassian, DeepL, GitHub, Lexeri, Microsoft and monday.com and the “Connect” button

Note: SharePoint, Confluence and Outlook are still available as native integrations as well as through MCP.

7-day trial

You can now try MAIA for seven days in self-service.

The trial week is free of obligation and needs no credit card.
You sign up directly on the website, without a call beforehand.
It is suited to people or companies around you who do not know MAIA yet.
