WHAT'S NEW WITH MAIA  ·  SPRING 2026

No longer a “tool” or “platform”.
Maia is the data team that runs in your architecture.

Four capabilities have launched. Maia now knows your naming conventions, your architecture standards, your migration backlog, your team’s exact patterns. That’s what makes it production-grade— not just fast.
KEYNOTE

CEO keynote

From AI copilots, to AI-executed production data engineering.

Why making the existing model of data engineering faster isn't the answer, and what changes when the system itself takes on the work, end-to-end, at scale. Our CEO, Matthew Scullion, speaks on the paradigm shift behind Maia, and what it means for your migration backlog and AI roadmap.

Capabilities launched

1. Mission Control

The central control plane for your agentic data team, putting every Maia job on a Kanban board.

2. Context Engine

Learns your environment, naming conventions, data contracts and keeps learning as your stack evolves.

3. Skills & Planning

Encode your team's patterns and show the build plan before a line of code.

4. Migration Agents

Rebuild your Informatica, Alteryx, SSIS, Talend, and Qlik estate natively in Snowflake, Databricks, or AWS.

Most AI data tools generate code. Maia runs your data engineering.

Mission Control, Context Engine, Skills & Planning, Migration Agentsl. Four capabilities pointing in one direction: Maia learns your environment continuously, plans before it builds, runs migrations, new builds, and quality fixes in parallel. Maia remembers and ships every pipeline in your architecture by default. Production-grade isn't a future feature. It's what shipped this spring.
With Maia, you can say yes to every AI initiative on the roadmap, without adding a single headcount.

OVERVIEW
Meet your AI data team
What changes when AI moves from assistance to autonomous execution. Watch Maia plan structured work, apply your team's patterns through Skills, and ask for business context before it builds — the Reverse Prompt that separates a context-aware data team from generic AI. The starting point for every other capability in this launch.
MISSION CONTROL
The catch that happens before the dashboard breaks
Mission Control intercepts a null-value spike in a Lead_Score field before a single bad row reaches a marketing dashboard. Because Context Engine understands how that field is used downstream, Maia doesn't surface a raw error code — it pauses the pipeline, opens a ticket, and proposes the exact transformation logic to fix it. The Data Manager reviews, clicks Approve, Maia implements. Governed autonomy in production.
CUSTOM CONNECTORS
A custom connector for a homegrown app
Hand Maia the internal API documentation for a tool with no off-the-shelf connector. Guided by Context Engine, Maia generates a fully functional connector and a business-specific test framework — tests written against your actual schemas, naming conventions, and regional compliance requirements. Days of Python scripting become minutes of supervision. Output is production-ready from the start.
MISSION CONTROL
The whole estate, running in parallel
Mission Control is how a Data Manager runs the whole estate from a single view. Every migration, pipeline builds, quality fix, and Reverse ETL job ands on one Kanban board with the same flow. Maia plans the work, surfaces it for approval, executes, and reports back. Maia handles execution and your team handles decision-making.

What's in it for Your Team

Four releases. Four operational shifts. Here's what Maia changes for your team.

From

  • Every pipeline manually reviewed against your standards, and only when reviewers have time.
  • 18-month migration backlogs and six-figure annual budgets locked in Informatica licences.
  • Re-prompting every AI tool with your architecture and watching it forget by the next session.
  • Engineers babysitting pipelines, hunting failures, sitting in status meetings.

To

  • Context Engine encodes your institutional and tribal knowledge. Every pipeline ships your way by default.
  • Migration Agents read Informatica, Alteryx, SSIS, Talend, Qlik, and rebuild them natively in Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift, or BigQuery. Balfour Beatty: 1 week per pipeline → 6 minutes.
  • Skills learn how your team works. Planning shows the build before a line of code. Maia remembers your environment forever.
  • Mission Control puts every job on one Kanban board. Maia plans, surfaces work for approval, executes, and reports back. Your team manages outcomes, not tasks.
