This PR repositions Maia as the agentic development capability of the Mendix Platform, across the full application lifecycle. Maia Make is presented as the single chat interface in Studio Pro where in one conversation, developers create and change any part of the model (data, logic, UI, workflows, translations) and ask questions.

New Pages

  • Agentic and Model-Driven Development (/refguide/agentic-development/) – defines agentic development, explains why model-driven development and agents reinforce each other, describes the role of the developer, and gives working practices.
  • Maia Across the Development Lifecycle (/refguide/maia-development-lifecycle/) – one section per lifecycle stage, with capabilities and example prompts.
  • Using Maia with External AI Agents (/refguide/maia-external-agents/) – Maia MCP Client, Studio Pro MCP Server, Maia Plan as MCP Server, custom AI provider, and AGENTS.md / Agent Skills, with an end-to-end example.

Restructured Pages

  • Mendix AI Assistance (Maia) – landing page rewritten around the lifecycle and agentic development.
  • Maia for Domain Model, Pages, OQL, and Workflows – retitled as Maia Make capabilities (for example, Domain Models in Maia Make). The earlier tool names stay only in sections for older Studio Pro versions.
  • Maia Chat – retitled Questions and Guidance in Maia Make. Maia Make supersedes Maia Chat in Studio Pro 11.8 and above. The earlier Maia Chat UI moves to a Studio Pro 11.7 and below section.
  • Maia Make Capabilities – agentic framing, new section Reviewing and Controlling Maia Changes, and translations (Studio Pro 11.15) added to the general capabilities.
  • Studio Pro MCP Server – new sections How It Works, Use Cases, and Working Practices. Clarifies that the MCP Server runs locally and does not require sign-in to Studio Pro, while Mendix platform MCP servers require authentication with a Mendix account.

Other Updates

  • Maia Explain – added the missing introduction.
  • Translation Generator – notes translations in Maia Make from Studio Pro 11.15.
  • Maia in Mendix Portal, Maia Plan, Maia Operate, Maia in Private Mendix Platform – link to the lifecycle page. The Portal page notes that Maia Make supersedes Maia Chat in Studio Pro.
  • Keyboard Shortcuts – Maia Chat Shortcut Keys renamed to Maia Shortcut Keys (anchor unchanged); the shortcuts work in Maia Make.
  • View menu, view entities, domain model, and the Build a Responsive Web App quickstart – updated to Maia Make.
