Malme Launches MAAP Platform to Move Civil Engineering AI Past Prototyping
MAAP is built to close the gap between prototyping AI applications and running them continuously across a civil engineering company, a problem Malme says it already faced internally.
Reporting from 1 source: ASCII.jp.
Malme, a Tokyo-based developer of AI products for civil engineering, will begin offering MAAP, an AI business platform for the industry, from September 2026. The platform connects technical assets such as drawings, design deliverables, and technical standards with in-house AI applications, and includes authentication, access control, auditing, and cost management. Malme says it already runs MAAP internally and is now accepting implementation consultations from construction consultants and general contractors.
Malme frames the launch around a specific failure mode: teams can build AI applications, but the results stall at the prototype stage. The company lists the symptoms it sees in the field, including applications that are never used in real work, so-called rogue applications with no clear owner, and PoC results that are not kept as shared assets.
MAAP is structured as two parts. MAAP Hub is where civil engineering engineers use AI applications and technical assets, and MAAP Studio is where administrators and developers deploy and manage them. Malme's own engineers and AI team provide end-to-end support from target selection to on-site adoption.
