What Mia OS is
What is Mia OS?
Your own workspace in the cloud. You talk to Mia, and she keeps your boards up to date, builds the apps you're missing and keeps routines and workers running while you're signed out.
Who is Mia OS for?
For business owners and small teams who want their work in one place and want to hand part of it to Mia. If it doesn't fit what you're looking for, we'll tell you.
What is a server of your own?
A shielded server in a data centre that runs only your workspace. That is why Mia can keep working while your laptop is off. With Mia OS it is a small server; with the Dedicated server plan it is a whole computer of your own.
How is this different from a chat app like ChatGPT?
In a chat app you ask a question and get an answer. Mia OS remembers your work, keeps boards up to date, builds apps and carries out tasks at set times, even when you're not there.
AI model and costs
Which AI model does Mia use?
Right now Mia works with Claude. Soon you will connect the model from your own account with an AI provider; ChatGPT, Mistral, European providers and a model on your own computer are coming soon too.
What does the AI model itself cost?
Once you connect your own account (coming soon), you pay the provider. Depending on the provider, that's a fixed subscription or pay as you go. Mia OS adds nothing on top. How much you use depends on what you have Mia do. Nobody can predict that to the cent.
Can I switch AI models later?
Yes, once the other providers are available. Your memory, boards, apps and routines live in Mia OS and stay put when you switch.
Are there costs on top of the monthly price?
Only if you add something yourself, such as extra memory. You pay for your AI model separately, to the provider. Nothing else.
Privacy and your data
Where is my data stored?
On a shielded server that runs only your workspace, in a data centre in the Netherlands. What you ask the AI model goes to the provider of that model. Your requests to the AI model currently go to Claude, by Anthropic. Under its commercial terms, Anthropic does not train its models on what you send or receive through a business API key. Once you can choose a European provider, that stays in Europe too.
Is Mia OS GDPR compliant?
Your data is stored in the Netherlands, on a server that runs only your workspace. We only process it to make Mia OS work. What we do exactly and what rights you have is in the privacy policy. If you want a data processing agreement, email info@mia-automation.com.
Who can see my data?
You, and the people you give access to. Our team only looks inside your workspace when that's needed to fix a problem.
Can Mia get into my computer?
No. Mia only works on your PC or Mac if you install the Mia Bridge and give permission. You can withdraw that permission whenever you like.
Using Mia OS
Does Mia OS work on my phone?
Yes, in your phone's browser. A layout designed for small screens is coming soon.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Mia OS works in your browser. You only install the Mia Bridge if you want to connect your own PC or Mac.
Can several people work in one workspace?
Yes. With Mia Post you pass messages and tasks to each other. If you work with a larger team or with heavy files, the Dedicated server plan is a better fit.
Can I use Mia from inside Claude?
Yes. With the Mia connector, you add Mia to your own Claude app. From there you work with your boards, memory and workers.
Trial and cancelling
How does the trial week work?
For seven days you can use everything, without a card. After that, if you haven't subscribed, your workspace is locked. You then have seven more days to decide. After that we delete your workspace and your data.
Can I export my work?
Yes. Everything you make in Mia OS belongs to you. Files you create, such as PDFs, images and videos, you can download whenever you like. A button to export all your work in one go is being finished now.
What happens if I stop?
You can cancel any month. Your workspace keeps working until the end of the paid month. After that we delete your server and your data. Download what you want to keep beforehand.
