No idea, never used bots.
From what I gather you can download Maia3, but you need to go through some hoops, like cloning the repo and installing it with (ugh!) Python:
>git clone https://github.com/CSSLab/maia3.git
cd maia3
python -m pip install .
Then run commands such as `maia3-5m` (it downloads the model on first use). It works as a UCI engine.
You could then probably load it as [an external engine](https://siderite.dev/blog/using-external-engines-in-lichess/)? I will try and let you know.
I tried, but Maia is not really working as a UCI engine and the idea above fails.
You can also try using the Chessagine Explorer integration then play with Explorer Practice.
But probably it will be a subpar experience, because it's basically playing against a computer at level 1.
