Chat with Maia
Introduction
In Studio Pro 11.8 and above, Maia Make replaces Maia Chat, the earlier chat interface in Studio Pro. Maia Chat is still available in Mendix Portal. For more information, refer to the Maia Chat section in Maia in Mendix Portal.
To ask questions in Studio Pro, you need an internet connection and must be signed in to Studio Pro.
In Studio Pro, you can ask Maia questions about Mendix development in the Chat tab of the Maia pane. You can ask about all aspects of Mendix, including how to apply concepts, best practices, governance tools, and development patterns. Because you ask questions in the same chat in which you build, you can move from a exploring an idea to a implementing a change in your app in a single conversation.
To answer questions about Mendix, Maia uses the following data sources:
- Mendix Docs
- Mendix Community
- Mendix Academy
- Mendix Blog
- Mendix Medium
- Mendix Evaluation Guide
- Mendix Support Knowledge Base (in Studio Pro 11.10 and above)
