What’s New in the Data Productivity Cloud: September 2025
AI-Powered Productivity, More Schedules, Components & Connectors!
We’ve rolled out several exciting updates in the Data Productivity Cloud, bringing you one step closer to frictionless data.
These updates are designed to help your team move faster, integrate smarter, and unlock the full value of your data.
Here’s what's new:
Maia Gets Smarter: Faster, More Flexible, More Powerful
Maia is our agentic data team that helps you build, fix, and manage pipelines using natural language. The latest enhancements make Maia even more capable:
Maia is now faster at completing a range of tasks, especially when adding multiple instances of the same component to the Designer canvas.
Maia can now make multiple instances of the same type of change at the same time, such as updating table prefixes for multiple Table Output components.
Maia can now interact with scalar variables.
Maia can now use iterators (File, Fixed, Grid, Loop, Table) on components.
You can now direct Maia to work with specific files by mentioning them in your prompt. Simply use the @ symbol, then start typing the name of a pipeline to reference it in your message to Maia..
The maximum number of schedules in your Data Productivity Cloud account has been increased from 500 to 1,000 schedules. This gives you more flexibility to automate your pipelines and scale your workflows without limits.
Component Insertion Made Simple
You can now insert a new component between two existing components in your pipeline. Simply click on the connecting line, click +, and select the component you want to add—it will drop right in the middle for you to configure.
New and Improved Connectors
New Load Connectors
We’ve added three new connectors to our catalog: Shopify Load, Marketo Load, and SugarCRM Load. All support incremental loading, so you can capture only new and updated data. This helps reduce pipeline runtime and optimize resource usage.
dbt Core Connector Enhancement
The dbt Core connector now includes a version property, allowing you to select which version of dbt Core to use in your pipelines.
What’s Next?
Keep an eye out for our upcoming edition as we continue to expand our capabilities, ensuring your data is frictionless.
