The MongoDB AI Applications Program (MAAP) is Now Available

At MongoDB, everything starts with helping our customers solve their application and data challenges (regardless of use case).

We talk to customers every day, and they're excited about gen AI. But they're also unsure how to move from concept to production, and need to control costs. So finding the right way to adopt AI is critical.

We're therefore thrilled to announce the general availability of the MongoDB AI Applications Program (MAAP)!

A first-of-its-kind program, MAAP will help organizations take advantage of rapidly advancing AI technologies. It offers customers a wealth of resources to put AI applications into production: reference architectures and an end-to-end technology stack that includes integrations with leading technology providers, professional services, and a unified support system to help customers quickly build and deploy AI applications.

Indeed, some early AI adopters found that legacy technologies can't manage the multi-modal data structures required to power AI applications. This was compounded by a lack of in-house skills and the perceived risk of integrating disparate components without support. As a result, businesses couldn't take advantage of AI advances quickly enough.

Which is why we're excited that MAAP is now available: the MAAP program and its ecosystem of companies addresses these challenges comprehensively. MAAP offers customers the right expertise and solutions for their use cases, and removes integration risk. Meanwhile, the MAAP ecosystem seamlessly integrates many of the world's leading AI and tech organizations-a real value-add for customers.

While the MAAP ecosystem is just getting started, it already includes tech leaders like Accenture, AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure, as well as gen AI innovators Anthropic, Cohere, and LangChain. The result is a group of organizations that will enable customers to build differentiated, production-ready AI applications, while aiming to deliver substantial return on investment.

Unlocking the power of data…

It's an understatement to say that the AI landscape is ever-changing. To keep pace with the latest developments and customer expectations, access to trusted collaborators and a robust support system are critical for organizations who want to innovate with AI.

What's more, innovating with AI can mean tackling data silos and overcoming limited in-house technical expertise-which MAAP solves for with a central architecture for gen AI applications, pre-configured integrations, and professional services to ensure organizations' requirements are met.

This framework provides flexibility for technical and non-technical teams alike, empowering them to leverage AI and company data for tasks specific to their department, no matter their preferred cloud or LLM.

MongoDB is uniquely qualified to bring together the solutions MAAP offers: MongoDB customers can use any LLM provider, we can run anywhere (on all major cloud providers, on premises, and at the edge), and MongoDB offers seamless integrations with a variety of frameworks and systems.

Perhaps most importantly, thousands of customers already rely on MongoDB to power their mission-critical apps, and we have years of experience helping customers unlock the power of data. The ultimate aim of MAAP is to enable customers to get the most out of their data, and to ensure that they can confidently innovate with AI.

A recent success is Anywhere Real Estate (NASDAQ: HOUS), the parent company of well-known brands like Century 21, Coldwell Banker, and Sotheby's International Realty.

Anywhere partnered with MongoDB to drive their digital transformation, and is now delving into the potential of MAAP to fast-track their AI adoption. By harnessing MongoDB's expertise, Anywhere is set to future-proof its tech stack and to excel in an increasingly AI-driven landscape.

"Generative AI is a game-changer for Anywhere, and we're integrating it into our products with enthusiasm," said Damian Ng, Senior Vice President of Technology at Anywhere. "MongoDB has been an invaluable partner, helping us rapidly explore and develop new approaches and opportunities. The journey ahead is exciting!"

…and clearing the way for AI innovation

MAAP offers customers a clear path to developing and deploying AI-enriched applications.

The cornerstone of MAAP is MongoDB: applications are underpinned by MongoDB, which securely unifies real-time, operational, unstructured, and AI-related data without the need for bolt-on solutions. MongoDB's open and integrated architecture provides easy access to the MAAP partner network and enables the extension and customization of applications.

With MAAP, customers can:

• Accelerate their gen AI development with expert, hands-on support and services. MAAP expert services, combining the strengths of MongoDB Professional Services and industry-leading gen AI consultancies, will enable customers to rapidly innovate with AI. MAAP offers strategic guidance on roadmaps and skillsets, assists with data integration into advanced AI technologies, and can even develop production-ready applications. MAAP goes beyond development, empowering teams with best practices for securely integrating your data into scalable gen AI solutions, ensuring businesses are equipped to tackle future AI initiatives.

• Build high-performing gen AI applications that tackle industry-specific needs. Pre-designed architectures give customers repeatable, accelerated frameworks for building AI applications. Architectures are fully customizable and extendable to accommodate ever-evolving generative AI use cases, like retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) or advanced AI capabilities like Agentic AI and advanced RAG technique integrations. With MongoDB's open and integrated platform at its core, innovation with MAAP's composable architectures is unlimited, making it easy for customers to bring the power of leading AI platforms directly to their applications.

• Upskill teams to quickly-and repeatedly-build modern AI applications. MAAP customers have access to a variety of learning materials, including a dedicated MAAP GitHub library featuring integration code, demos, and a gen AI application prototype. These comprehensive resources will enable developers to build intelligent, personalized applications faster, while giving organizations the tools to expand their in-house AI expertise. With MAAP, customers have access to integration and development best practices that they can use for future gen AI projects.

It's early days, but there are wide-ranging indications that AI will impact everything from developer productivity to economic output. We've already seen customers use gen AI to speed modernization efforts, boost worker productivity with agents, unlock sales productivity, and power identity governance with natural language.

In other words, AI is here to stay, and now is the time to take advantage of it. MAAP is designed to set customers up for AI success today and tomorrow: the program will be continuously enhanced with the latest technological advancements and industry best practices, to ensure that customers stay ahead of this rapidly evolving space.
