# Data Sources

> Access industry-leading data intelligence directly in your workflows

## Native Data Sources

Maia natively supports a suite of powerful Data Sources, enabled with a single click. Instead of manually searching and scraping, you can instruct Maia to pull precise information from the most trustworthy providers for lead generation, SEO, and market research.

This lets you focus on strategy and execution while Maia handles the heavy lifting of data collection with programmatic accuracy.

## How Data Sources Work

### Just Ask

You don't need to configure anything or select which data source to use. Just describe what you need in natural language, and Maia automatically pulls from the right source.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="You Say">
    ```
    "Find marketing managers at SaaS companies in California
    with 50-200 employees and get their contact information"
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Maia Does">
    1. Identifies this as a lead generation request
    2. Searches for matching profiles by title, company size, and location
    3. Enriches results with verified emails and phone numbers
    4. Returns structured lead data ready for outreach
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### Saved to Your Workspace

Unlike Native Connections which access data transiently during workflow execution, Data Sources save retrieved data to your workspace. You can view, export, and reuse this data across multiple workflows at any time.
