Full Title
AI as a Collaborator, Not a Feature: How Mendix’s Maia Brings AI Into Your Development Process

Description
In modern application development, AI is no longer just a futuristic buzzword — it's becoming an everyday partner in how we build. With Mendix’s built-in AI assistant, Maia, developers can now accelerate design, logic creation, and troubleshooting directly inside the Studio Pro environment.
This session is tailored for Mendix developers, architects, and team leads who want to understand how to effectively leverage Maia to improve productivity, reduce friction, and elevate app quality during development.
We’ll explore:

• What Maia is and how it fits into the Mendix ecosystem
• Real examples of using Maia to write microflows, generate expressions, and model domain logic
• Limitations and considerations: where human oversight still matters
• How Maia shifts the developer's role from task executor to solution architect
• Strategies for prompt design and iterating with Maia for better results
• A live demo showcasing Maia assisting with real development tasks

Whether you’re new to Mendix or leading a seasoned team, this session will help you rethink how AI can support your development workflow — not as a novelty, but as a powerful collaborator.
