Introduction

Using Maia Explain

The initial answer consists of two parts:

  • Explanation – provides a high-level overview of the logic, including its overall purpose
  • Technical Highlights – highlights the technical and functional details of the logic, including any input parameters and return value, if available

Maia Explain supports follow-up questions. You can modify the tone of the answer, request further clarification, or ask for suggestions to improve the logic. Below are examples of what you can type as follow-up questions or requests:

  • Explain again, but in 10 words.
  • Explain again, but in much greater detail. Be very thorough.
  • What are your suggestions to improve this microflow?
