Starting point for app creation:

* **Start with Maia** - a starting point in Studio Pro that helps you to start the app development process. Based on a required text description and an optional image or PDF, it generates an app that includes a domain model, data management overview pages, test data, and a tailored homepage. For more information, see [Start with Maia](/refguide/start-with-maia/).
* **Maia Make** - a unified conversational interface in Studio Pro that groups all AI-assisted development capabilities into a single chat experience. With this interface, everything happens in one place. Start a conversation, describe what you need, and Maia generates the necessary app artifacts—a new domain model, overview pages, or microflows, or explaining your app logic and pages. Below is a list of Maia Make Capabilities:

* **Domain model creation** - Describe your data structure and Maia creates the entities and associations you need.
* **Page generation** - Generate overview pages.
* **Microflow generation** - Generate microflows, enumerations, XPath constraints, and expressions.
* **MCP client** - Connect to compatible MCP Servers to leverage tools such as Playwright or Figma to improve the capabilities of Maia.
* **Document upload** - Upload a PDF or an image and you can ask Maia to use it in your app creation.
* **User story linking** - Select an existing story in Studio Pro and Maia can help you realize it.

The image size is limited to 512 KB. Make sure to select a clear image to help Maia better understand your request. For example, you can provide a screenshot, a photo, a design mock-up, or a close-up picture of a drawing. Avoid heavily compressed or low quality images, as these may result in the loss of important details.

Keep in mind that Maia analyzes only the structure of the image. The theming of your app, such as the color scheme, will not be changed. This can cause some differences between the provided image and the generated page.
