Aevum Website v1.0.1: Clearer Pages, Easier to Find

The rebuilt Aevum website, v1.0.1, brings clearer pages that are easier to find in search and AI answers, plus a new way of gathering heritage stories.

In short

On 24 October 2026, Aevum launched version v1.0.1 of its rebuilt website, aevum.my. The new site has clearer pages that are easier to find in search engines and in AI-generated answers, and it introduces a hybrid way of gathering and checking stories about cultural places, combining AI help with people who review every story. The Aevum app is coming soon.

What’s new on the website

We rebuilt aevum.my from the ground up, and the new version went live on 24 October 2026. Behind the scenes, v1.0.1 is built for search engine optimisation (SEO), answer engine optimisation (AEO) and generative engine optimisation (GEO). In plain terms: our pages should be easier to find on search engines and in AI answers, and each page is clearer about what it covers.

Here is what you can explore now:

How we now gather and check stories

Before, we asked merchants for their stories one by one. We have now moved to a hybrid approach: AI helps us gather and draft from public sources, and people review every story for cultural nuance.

  • Gathering: places and initial information come from public sources, and AI helps us gather them and prepare first drafts.
  • Checking: people review every story for cultural nuance, and AI helps us check facts.
  • Improving: shops will be able to claim their listing and improve their story. Claiming is coming soon; see the page for businesses. Anyone can report an error by emailing [email protected].

This approach lets us cover more places faster and grow to new cities more easily, with people reviewing every story.

Starting in Ipoh

Aevum launches in Ipoh first, with more cities planned. On the website, you can already read stories from Ipoh about heritage buildings, food traditions, cave temples and street art.

What’s next

  • The Aevum app is coming soon. We will share the launch date here when it is confirmed.
  • Claiming for businesses is coming soon.
  • More stories and places will be added as we research them, and more cities are planned.
