"I'm running a 12-person company with the workload of 30 — AI is the only reason that's possible," Nguyen Van An shares. But he's quick to distinguish: "AI hype and practical AI are completely different things."
Through interviews with 25 Vietnamese founders, VBI has compiled AI use cases that are generating clear ROI.
3 High-Impact AI Use Cases
1. Research & synthesis: Analyzing market reports, customer interview transcripts, competitor reviews — work that took 2 days now takes 2 hours. 2. First draft everything: Proposals, difficult emails, job descriptions, legal briefs — AI drafts, founder refines. Saves 60-70% of writing time. 3. Decision support: Input context + options to analyze trade-offs, blind spots, unseen risks — like having a smart analyst 24/7.
“AI doesn't replace a founder's judgment. But it gives that judgment much better information quality.”
