# What is MaiGPT?

MaiGPT is your company's dedicated AI chat assistant. You can talk to it just like ChatGPT, but it can also query your company's internal data, connect to your work tools, and all conversations stay within the company — nothing leaks out.

## Overview: MaiGPT Feature Modules <a href="#feature-modules" id="feature-modules"></a>

<figure><img src="/files/AegxL29S32zwDNav2xbi" alt="MaiGPT six major feature modules overview"><figcaption><p>MaiGPT six major feature modules overview</p></figcaption></figure>

AI chat is the core experience — choose a model, upload files, and ask questions directly. Other features extend the chat capabilities: Canvas lets you edit AI-generated documents in real time, Deep Research has AI automatically search the web to produce comprehensive reports, AI Image Generation lets you describe visuals with text, and Connectors let AI access your work tools like Notion and Slack.

## Recommended Getting Started Order <a href="#recommended-getting-started-order" id="recommended-getting-started-order"></a>

If this is your first time using MaiGPT, follow this order to get started:

```
Step 1 → Start a conversation — pick an AI model and ask a question
Step 2 → Try uploading a file — let AI analyze the document for you
Step 3 → Use Canvas — ask AI to write a report or email for you
Step 4 → Expand as needed: connect Notion / Slack, use Deep Research
```

> You don't need to learn everything at once. Start with chat + file uploads, then gradually explore advanced features.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.maiagent.ai/maiagent-user-guide/maiagent-user-guide-en/maigpt/maigpt.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
