MAIA Assistant: 10 tips and tricks to get started with the chat
New features in the chat update
With the latest and most comprehensive update to MAIA to date, your AI assistant receives extensive enhancements in her functionality and now supports you even more intensively in everyday work.
If you do not want to interview your own data, you can now draw on the extensive knowledge of GPT. Simply select the “MAIA Assistant” as the source as shown in the picture and you're ready to go! The “MAIA Assistant” setting is now standard as long as no own documents have been selected.
The chat update thus provides the following enhancements and benefits for all users:
Iterative refinement of answers: Do you have an answer that is almost what you wanted but not entirely? No problem! Simply refine your question directly in the chat and talk to MAIA until the answer is perfect. In addition, from now on, you can also select individual documents in your collection if you don't want to search all documents and even select documents from different file collections at the same time!
Expanded answers: Thanks to ChatGPT's secure integration, MAIA can now answer not only based on your documents, but also based on the data learned from GPT. You can switch between the two settings directly in the chat at any time for maximum flexibility!
More natural interaction: With the chat interface, you can now have real conversations with MAIA, just like with a human assistant. Regardless of whether you need an impetus for brainstorming, a complicated Excel formula for the next invoice or a meeting agenda, or you simply want MAIA to help you write an email: MAIA now makes your everyday work even easier!
Absolute data security in contrast to ChatGPT: As before, our main focus is on maximum data security. With this update, you get the opportunity to increase your efficiency with ChatGPT's functionality and at the same time, unlike using ChatGPT, you don't have to worry about your data ending up in places where it doesn't belong.
10 tips and tricks to get you started
- Automatic content creation: MAIA can generate high-quality content right away — whether for marketing texts, FAQ sections or presentation drafts. With the help of the chat feature, you can not only describe the desired task, but also give feedback and have the text revised accordingly.

- Excel formula help: MAIA answers Excel questions in the blink of an eye. Simply describe what you want to achieve and MAIA will promptly provide you with the appropriate Excel formula.

- Multi-language capabilities: Whether it's translations or technical terms, MAIA helps in many languages and provides reliable results even with complex topics.

- Role-playing games for training scenarios: MAIA takes on any role you want. Whether it's a customer simulation or another scenario — MAIA offers authentic interaction training. Do you want to prepare yourself for an important customer meeting? No problem, MAIA simulates the customer for you and you can talk to her in this scenario. Give her as much context and information as possible at the beginning so that she can play the role optimally!
Example: “I have a sales call tomorrow. Can you play the customer? Here is some information about his career and position in the company: (enter position or other information about the person)”
- Brainstorming ideas: When creative hurdles arise, MAIA steps in and offers fresh ideas or perspectives to drive projects forward. Whether it's ideas for product improvements based on customer feedback or planning for a team event or a surprise party. MAIA supports and does a lot of work for you.
Example: “I need ideas for a team building event.”
- Questions about software: Where is this one setting in Word or PowerPoint? MAIA knows. With clear instructions, it will guide you to your goal. Extra tip: The IT department also benefits! MAIA can even generate code and saves developers valuable time.
Example: “I can't figure out how to add a background in PowerPoint. Can you help?”
- Email drafting: If you've ever had trouble finding the right words for an email, particularly in tricky or complex situations, MAIA can provide you with suggestions for email texts or assist with the wording. This ensures that your message is delivered professionally and effectively, regardless of whether you want to improve your text or have it written entirely by MAIA!
Example: “I need a professional copy for a thank you email after a successful meeting.”
- Terminology and terminology explanations: MAIA acts as an interactive lexicon and provides quick explanations of technical terms and industry-specific terms.
Example: “What does' ROI 'mean in marketing?”
- Project management tips: If you are faced with a challenging project task, MAIA can suggest strategies and best practices to bring the project to an efficient conclusion. This means that you always have your interactive AI consultant by your side and remain flexible when project planning becomes a bit more complex.
Example: “What best practices do you recommend for successful stakeholder management?”
The more information you give MAIA, the better and more tailored to your context are their answers. You can talk to her just as you would with your colleagues. This allows you to tell MAIA afterwards what you would like to have changed and thus iteratively refine the result.
As always, we're looking forward to your feedback and hope you enjoy our biggest update yet!
