Make Issues: 2025 Second Half Make News
Make Waves '25 Announcement Highlights
At Make's annual customer event Waves '25, I had the chance to share my thoughts on how AI and automation are opening up new possibilities with our largest-ever audience.
But to properly leverage these possibilities, people need to be able to create meaningful value.
That's why I introduced some exciting products to help on this journey.
What we unveiled is not just one or two powerful features.
It's an entirely new way of thinking about and handling AI and automation — Visual Orchestration.
This visual approach provides the ultimate clarity and control over automation and AI.
It differentiates Make as the only automation and AI platform in the industry where you can see everything happening in your business in real time and take action accordingly.
Make's approach to building products is built on three pillars: Build, Accelerate, and Scale.
These three are key to realizing the value of AI.
We showed how at Waves, and for those who missed it, here's a recap.
Build
Build covers the powerful core features designed to help you execute quickly and create value without writing code.
With Make's visual scenario builder and over 3,000 pre-built apps, you can go from idea to fully working process in minutes.
We're adding new capabilities to quickly build complex, reusable workflows with security and reliability built in.
And with upcoming key AI-assisted workflow building features, you can be bolder than ever.
If-Else and Merge Modules
Available on all plans in early 2026
Handle complex conditional logic natively to build powerful, sophisticated automations faster.
The new If-Else module provides a clean way to branch scenarios, and the Merge module provides a much-requested way to consolidate scenarios.
Together, these two modules help teams build efficient automations quickly while ensuring clarity and reducing long-term maintenance burden.
Scenario Run Replay
Available now on all plans
Test, debug, and backfill data faster.
With Scenario Run Replay, you can re-run scenarios using past trigger data.
Fix errors, validate logic, and prevent data loss.
Just click the replay button.
Scenario Sharing
Coming soon on all plans
Share scenarios with one click to simplify deployment and increase solution adoption.
When teams simplify how they integrate new logic with a single secure link, it eliminates the inconvenience of JSON blueprints and turns the most effective automations into reusable playbooks across the entire organization.
Or create public scenario sharing links to inspire new experiments across the entire Make community.
Subscenarios
Available now on all plans
Turn any scenario into a reusable function or API to speed up development and enable complex automations.
This lets you create powerful modular components that can be used as reliable tools for other workflows or as specialized AI agent functions.
Maia by Make

See how agents think and what actions they take in real time, so you can control them and provide additional guidance when needed.
The improved UI means you can build faster and boost operations and efficiency across your organization through reusable agents.
File support and conversation history give agents the knowledge to handle ambiguous, unstructured inputs, providing the help needed to deal with unexpected situations.
Immediate refinements and chat features help agents more clearly define the best path toward their goals.
These visual-stage AI agents give you the capability to build more boldly with AI.
