ChatGPT
Maia
Maia lets you build multi-step AI workflows that connect to your apps, browse the web, execute code, and deploy as scheduled automations or webhook-triggered pipelines. Create once, run forever.
ChatGPT
ChatGPT excels at conversational interactions and single-turn tasks, but lacks native workflow automation, scheduled deployments, or the ability to chain complex multi-step operations.
Maia
Connect Maia to Gmail, Google Sheets, Google Drive, Google Calendar, and Google Docs. Your AI workflows can read, write, and automate across your entire tool stack without leaving the platform.
ChatGPT
ChatGPT offers plugins and GPT Actions, but does not natively connect to business tools for automated read/write operations within multi-step workflows.
Maia
Maia's custom actions let you extend its native connection capabilities by connecting to any API or third-party platform. Maia automatically researches and creates custom actions for you, so you can integrate your favorite tools without writing a single line of code.
ChatGPT
ChatGPT can only work with a limited number of platforms through its plugin ecosystem. There is no ability to automatically generate custom integrations for arbitrary APIs or third-party services.
Maia
Turn any Maia workflow into a scheduled task, a webhook endpoint, or a form-powered automation. Your AI agents run in the background without manual intervention.
ChatGPT
ChatGPT offers basic scheduled tasks, but they are limited to simple, single-step automations. There is no support for multi-step workflow deployments, webhook triggers, or form-powered automations.
While both are AI-powered platforms, Maia is designed for end-to-end workflow automation with deployment options, app connections, and custom agent skills. ChatGPT is primarily a conversational AI assistant optimized for single interactions and question-answering.
