MAIA AI vs Lazy AI (formerly Lazy apps)

MAIA AI (My AI Assistant) is a Google Chrome extension that puts OpenAI models in a side panel while you browse. Select text on a page, send a prompt, and get summaries, rewrites, or answers without copying content into a separate chat tab.

Unlike all-in-one AI chat wrappers that resell token access, MAIA charges a flat $5 per month subscription and sends every request to your own OpenAI account with zero markup on usage. The extension is built around page context: highlight text on articles, emails, or other sites, then run tasks like summarizing long posts, simplifying complex topics, generating social copy, or turning emails into to-do lists.

Pricing splits into two parts: a MAIA subscription after a 14-day trial, plus pay-as-you-go OpenAI API usage billed directly by OpenAI. You bring your own OpenAI API key, so requests go straight to OpenAI without a markup on token costs.

It fits researchers, writers, and anyone who reads a lot online and wants quick help on the current page. MAIA runs only in Google Chrome on devices that support extensions.

Lazy AI turns plain-language prompts into deployed full-stack software with frontend, backend logic, and a database already wired together. You describe what you want, the platform generates the app structure, and production builds run on Google Cloud. Teams reach for it when they need working internal tools, chatbots, dashboards, or API endpoints without staffing a full engineering sprint.

Where most no-code tools stop at UI mockups or single-purpose automations, Lazy AI ships the whole stack in one workspace. The comparison page positions it against Cursor, Bolt.new, V0, Replit, Lovable, and Zapier by bundling database setup, deployment, and integrations like Google Sheets and CRMs instead of making you wire those pieces together elsewhere.

Marketing and sales teams use it to prototype business apps quickly, while non-technical staff can start from community templates for login flows, scrapers, or chatbots. Published apps stay online through Lazy AI managed hosting, with usage billed per gigabyte of RAM per day on top of the monthly subscription.
