Zyphra launches MAIA beta, a multiplayer AI agent with shared memory across Slack and desktop

Zyphra released MAIA in beta, a proactive multiplayer AI agent that remembers shared team context, takes action across connected tools, and runs as a standalone Mac desktop app and inside Slack, free during beta. MAIA keeps persistent memory of people, decisions and preferences with sources, executes multi-step tasks in plain language, and can schedule recurring work. It follows existing tool permissions, confirms before irreversible actions, and lets users view and delete memories, with private conversations kept private unless shared.
