Maisa Studio: A Platform for Digital Employees
Maisa AI has launched Maisa Studio, a platform that allows users to independently deploy and train digital employees using natural language. According to David Villalon, CEO of Maisa, this platform differs from other low-code solutions by focusing on building "workflows" that perform tasks rather than merely generating responses.
Innovative Approach: HALP System
Manuel Romero, co-founder and Chief Science Officer of Maisa AI, previously worked at Spanish AI startup Clibrain. Romero emphasizes that while AI technology itself is sound, reviewing large volumes of work in short timeframes is impractical. To address this, Maisa has developed the HALP (Human-Enhanced LLM Processing) system. This system gradually displays the steps a digital employee will take when a user inputs their requirements, ensuring transparency and control.
Ensuring Accuracy with KPU
To prevent AI from generating incorrect information, Maisa has introduced the Knowledge Processing Unit (KPU), a deterministic system. This technology has helped Maisa gain trust among enterprises, with several well-known companies—including a major bank and automotive and energy firms—already adopting its solutions in production environments.
Expanding Market Reach
Maisa aims to position itself as an advanced robotic process automation (RPA) solution, enabling enterprises to boost productivity without relying on rigid rules or manual programming. The company offers both secure cloud and on-premise deployment options to cater to diverse enterprise needs.
Although Maisa's customer base is currently smaller than that of popular free low-code platforms, the company is focused on expansion. Leveraging its existing customers' operations across multiple countries, Maisa plans to grow its market presence significantly.
Future Plans
The $25 million funding will enable Maisa to scale its team from 35 to 65 employees to meet rising demand. Villalon stated that the company's goal is to demonstrate its ability to deliver on promises and solidify its position in the enterprise AI market.
