What MAUM.AI Inc. does

MAUM.AI, Inc. (마음AI) is a privately-held South Korea-based Physical AI company that develops and commercializes proprietary foundation models, AI platform software, edge computing hardware, and physical robotics. The company operates exclusively within the domestic Korean market from its headquarters at the Pangyo IT Center in Seongnam, Gyeonggi-do, and serves enterprise businesses, defense, agriculture, and AI-integration customer segments. CEO Taejoon Yoo leads the firm, which has no disclosed parent company, no external investors, and no disclosed funding history.

The company's technical foundation rests on four proprietary foundation models — MAAL for language, SUDA for audio (with claimed zero-latency voice conversation), WoRV for vision-language-action in autonomous driving, and BODA for video — deployed through MAIED, a modular edge AI device supporting up to four chips that functions as a robotic brain. On top of this stack, MAUM.AI sells a five-SKU physical robot portfolio: JINDO BOT (a four-legged walking robot), AIden (a guide robot), Woochi Bot (a humanoid), a Pesticide Spraying Machine, and maum-TOUCH (a barrier-free kiosk). A parallel software suite includes MaumDATA for data preprocessing, Maum Orchestra for AI API workflow orchestration, maumGPT for enterprise chatbot use, an AI Human M3 simulation service, and a Voice Bot with a Visible Voice Bot variant.

Revenue is generated through four streams: usage-based AI inference (TTS/STT at 1 won per Korean character, maumGPT-13B at 100 won per 1,000 characters, Voice Bot at 1,000 won per successful call, M3 at 990,000 won per device per month); one-time AI training and consulting engagements priced 2–35 million won; a 400 million won per month LLM Cloud Platform subscription tier; and direct hardware sales of the robot line. Distribution runs through the maum.ai website with a one-month free trial, a customer-service phone channel, and an enterprise field-sales motion for customized deployments. The company has not disclosed any M&A, partnerships, patents, certifications, or named customer accounts in the input data.
