What’s New in the Data Productivity Cloud: November 2025

Smarter pipelines, faster insights, and more Maia magic

We’re continuing to evolve the Data Productivity Cloud to make frictionless data a reality. Maia’s latest enhancements, expanded APIs, and new quality tools work together to supercharge your data team, streamlining operations and unlocking faster, smarter insights.

Here’s what’s new this week.

Maia learns from your pipelines

Maia, our agentic data team, continues to get better!

Maia just got smarter at understanding your work. It can now analyze the structure of your pipelines, detect repetitive patterns, and suggest optimizations, like consolidating duplicate steps or improving joins.

This enhancement helps your data team eliminate inefficiencies automatically, so you can focus on building, not debugging.

Prompt Maia with something like:

“Analyze this pipeline and recommend optimizations.”

Learn more about Maia in the documentation.

Search your entire project with Maia

We’ve expanded Maia’s intelligence across your workspace. You can now ask Maia to look through your project files and surface relevant details without opening them manually.

It’s perfect for:

  • Finding all uses of a specific connector or component
  • Locating references to a variable
  • Spotting patterns across multiple pipelines

These context-aware searches help your agentic data team move faster—and spend less time digging for details.

Upload context files directly into Maia Custom Connector

Creating new connectors just got even easier. You can now upload PDF, YAML, or JSON files (up to 5 MB) directly into Custom Connector, including Postman Collections and OpenAPI Specs.

This allows Maia to instantly understand your API structure and generate a ready-to-use connector faster than ever before, so you can focus on data insights, not connector setup.

Maia: Keep working without interruption

Maia now runs conversations fully in the background—so you can close your browser or step away, and it keeps processing. When you return, your chat history is ready to pick up right where you left off.

Plus, the new Branch Conversations list makes multitasking easy: browse, resume, or clone sessions without losing context.

Smarter pipelines with two-level variable resolution

You can now nest variables inside one another, making complex pipelines cleaner, more dynamic, and easier to maintain.

For example:

If variable_1 = ${variable_2} and variable_2 = Sales_Data, then ${variable_1} resolves to Sales_Data.

A small change, big flexibility.

Pipeline Quality Review: build better pipelines, faster

We’re excited to introduce Pipeline Quality Review, the first in a new suite of features designed to help data teams enforce best practices automatically.

Think of it as a “linting engine” for your data pipelines—an intelligent reviewer that catches issues before they reach production.

Key benefits:

  • Enforce consistent standards with customizable quality rules
  • Catch issues early and reduce production risks
  • Strengthen governance across all projects
  • Provide actionable, contextual feedback for every developer

With Pipeline Quality Review, your team can deliver faster, safer, and more consistent pipelines, all natively within the Data Productivity Cloud.
