App Atlas (AI-powered Appian reverse-engineering)

Overview

In many Appian implementations, documentation is often incomplete, outdated, or scattered across multiple repositories. When new teams, vendors, or support engineers take ownership of an existing application, they spend weeks understanding the architecture, process flows, and dependencies. This lack of comprehensive documentation leads to longer transition times, higher maintenance costs, and increased risk of production issues due to limited system understanding.

Manual documentation efforts are time-consuming and error-prone, often requiring developers to trace objects, workflows, and integrations individually.

Maantic's App Atlas solves this problem by leveraging AI and automation to reverse-engineer any Appian application and generate detailed, structured documentation — including process flows, HLDs, component maps, and object usage. It ensures that knowledge transfer, audits, and enhancements happen smoothly even when the original development team is unavailable, minimizing transition overhead and ensuring operational continuity.
