We help SMEs across Asia turn repetitive work and key-person dependency into reliable workflows — so your team spends less time on admin and more time on customers, sales, and delivery.

AI is rapidly shifting from "answering questions" to "executing tasks" as an operational partner. For SMEs, the advantage comes from workflow integration — not one-off chats.
Too much time spent on emails, documents, proposals, and reporting
Know-how is trapped in a few experienced staff members
Quality depends on individuals (sales replies, customer handling, approvals)
"We already answered this once" happens daily — knowledge is scattered
Manual copy/paste between tools (spreadsheets, docs, chat, CRM)
So your work becomes:
Automate first drafts, summaries, and data entry so your team delivers in half the time.
AI-generated outputs follow your templates and rules, reducing human error and inconsistency.
Quality doesn't depend on one person. SOPs and best practices are embedded in every workflow.
Privacy controls, approval steps, and role-based access are built in from day one.
Share Know-How Across Your Team
Many SMEs don't lose productivity because staff are slow — productivity drops because knowledge is locked in people.
An internal assistant for teams that standardises daily execution.
What it does:
Best for: Operations, sales support, customer support, back office
Business Impact: Reduces reliance on "that one person" and improves onboarding speed
A decision-support assistant for owners/managers.
What it does:
Best for: Founders, general managers, country managers
Business Impact: Reduces decision fatigue and improves execution speed
We don't start with "pick a tool." We start with your workflow and your bottlenecks.
Map workflows (where time is wasted + where know-how is stuck). Identify 3–5 high-ROI tasks. Choose 1 pilot use case with measurable KPIs.
Output:
A practical roadmap + pilot plan (scope, data, roles, KPIs)
Build the workflow (templates, prompts, automation steps). Deploy an AI Manager for one team. Train key users and set approval rules. Track metrics (time saved, cycle time, quality).
Output:
Working pilot + measurement snapshot + rollout recommendation
Expand to additional workflows/teams. Implement playbooks, approval flows, and version control. Introduce AI CEO for leadership reporting and decision support (optional).
Output:
Repeatable operating system for AI-enabled productivity
SMEs can't spend months writing manuals — so we use a lightweight approach.
Observe real tasks (quotes, replies, approvals) and collect real artifacts (emails, docs, sheets).
1–2 weeksConvert examples into templates, checklists, and decision rules ("if X, then Y").
Structured processRole-based access, approval steps for external outputs, and version control.
Safe deploymentResult: Your know-how becomes company knowledge — searchable, reusable, consistent.
Organisational AI integration can remain low, creating a competitive gap for firms that operationalise AI earlier.
The winners are SMEs that move from "AI experiments" to AI workflows.
Awesome AI Asia builds practical AI literacy and productivity programmes with experience in large-scale delivery across Asia-Pacific. For example, Akira Murata served as a resource person for APO programmes and delivered intensive AI literacy sessions reaching approximately 1,000 public officials (Philippines, May 2025).
