AIFIRST IS AS EASY AS 1 — 2 — 3
Absolutely no coding and tech skills required. All you need is to know your business.
Find highest-ROI use of AI for you
Ground zero is finding your Power Build, the top 3 uses of AI that will drive the highest ROI for you-- for your business specifically, not anyone else's. Power Builds typically focus 2-3 of the 10 areas below, which we help you customize for your specific business, customers and value chain.
Implement AI in 30-60-90 days sprints
We take your Power Build and present you with full options as to the best way to implement it specifically for you, including:
Track AI ROI in 3-6-12 month cycles
AIFIRST is about using AI first wherever AI can do it better, faster, cheaper. We track your specific KPIs on a daily basis in order to optimize the way AI is delivering superior ROI over 3-6-12 month cycles.
Optimize for sustained ROI & Impact
AIFIRST is a fail if we cannot continuously sustain ROI. Our goal is to deliver superior long-term impact, not just for your financials, but for your customers, employees and partners.

OUR FOUNDERS
"The AI national conversations have become too noisy. Too many people who don't know AI or business telling people what to do. Our goal with 1-DAY AI is to cut through all the noise and help you launch the most high impact, high ROI use of AI for your business ASAP."

CEO, AIFIRST

One of PH's most active VC and tech investors
AI FIRST drives a full spectrum of applied AI innovations from our unique perch based in the Philippines serving the world, with a mission to enable organizations and professionals to become "AI-First" (use AI wherever AI can do it better, faster, cheaper).
From AI capacity-building (for enterprise, SMEs, and professionals in software, engineering, marketing, sales, operations, etc), to full-AI builds covering strategy, architecture, design, engineering, and managing AI solutions that empower our client partners to achieve unrivaled CX/UX, speed, efficiency and cost. We also do venture builds/co-builds where we take equity positions in AI-First ventures.
Led by founder & CEO, Carlo Almendral, and co-founder and VC partner, Andre Yap, our mission is to be first when it comes to "AI-First".
AIFIRST IS EMPOWERING
As much as we love implementing AI for businesses, our mission demands equally that we empower Filipinos how to use AI as professionals.
