 Mendix AI Assistance (Maia) in Private Mendix Platform has the following capabilities: 
 
 Starting point for app creation:
 
 * **Start with Maia** - a starting point in Studio Pro that helps you to start the app development process. Based on a required text description and an optional image or PDF, it generates an app that includes a domain model, data management overview pages, test data, and a tailored homepage. For more information, see [Start with Maia](/refguide/start-with-maia/).
-* **Maia Make** - a unified conversational interface in Studio Pro that groups all AI-assisted development capabilities into a single chat experience. With this interface, everything happens in one place. Start a conversation, describe what you need, and Maia generates the necessary app artifacts, such as a new domain model, pages, and microflows. You can also ask it to explain documents for you, including your app logic and pages. For more information, see [Maia Make Capabilities](/refguide/maia-make/).

 Unlike a typical chatbot that only answers questions, Maia is agentic: it can read your app's current domain model, pages, and logic, understand the context you are working in, and then directly create or modify app elements on your behalf. Ask it to add an entity, generate a page, or build out a microflow, and it will produce real, editable Studio Pro artifacts—not just a suggestion or a code snippet for you to copy in.
 
-Maia is not one single feature but a collection of capabilities woven into Studio Pro. [Maia Make](/refguide/mendix-ai-assistance/), is a conversational interface where you describe what you want in plain language and Maia generates the domain model changes, pages, or microflows to match. Within Maia Make are focused generators (for domain models, pages, workflows, and OQL queries), recommenders that suggest the next best widget or microflow activity as you build, and guidance tools like [Maia Chat](/refguide/maia-chat/) and [Maia Explain](/refguide/mendix-ai-assistance/) for when you want an explanation rather than a change to your app. As you grow more advanced, [Maia Agent Skills](/refguide/maia-agent-skills/) and Agent Instructions let you teach Maia your team's own conventions so Maia's suggestions stay consistent with how your organization builds apps.
