ASEAN Records is proud to officially recognise Agmo Digital Solutions for achieving the milestone, as the: First SME AI Platform Powered by a Combined Library of Localized Expert Datasets Hosted on Sovereign Malaysia-Based Infrastructure (7 expert partners across 3 SME domains: Legal, Finance, and Human Resources)
This landmark recognition affirms Agmo’s leadership in advancing trusted, localised artificial intelligence adoption for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), establishing a new regional benchmark for data sovereignty, expert-backed intelligence, and enterprise-ready AI solutions developed in Malaysia.
Redefining SME AI Adoption Through Local Expertise and Sovereign Infrastructure
Developed by Agmo Digital Solutions, SME Hero AI is a next-generation AI platform purpose-built to address the real-world challenges faced by Malaysian SMEs. Unlike generic AI tools reliant on overseas datasets and foreign infrastructure, SME Hero AI is powered by a combined library of localised expert datasets contributed by seven professional partners across the legal, finance, and human resources domains.
The platform is hosted entirely on Malaysia-based sovereign infrastructure, ensuring data residency, regulatory alignment, and enterprise-grade security. By integrating proprietary Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) technology with expert-validated knowledge bases and human-in-the-loop monitoring, SME Hero AI delivers culturally relevant, regulation-aware insights designed for practical business decision-making.
This approach directly addresses common SME concerns such as hallucinated AI outputs, data leakage risks, and the absence of human judgment—positioning SME Hero AI as a trusted digital assistant rather than a black-box technology.
Strengthening Malaysia’s Digital Ecosystem Through Local Collaboration
At the core of SME Hero AI is a collaborative development model that brings together technology and professional expertise. By working closely with local legal, finance, and human resource practitioners, Agmo has embedded real-world professional knowledge directly into the AI system—ensuring responses remain grounded, compliant, and contextually relevant.
This localisation-first approach reflects Agmo’s belief that sustainable AI adoption depends on three pillars: local data, local system integration, and local experts. Through SME Hero AI, Agmo demonstrates how Malaysia-built AI solutions can contribute meaningfully to national digital resilience while empowering SMEs with accessible, affordable, and enterprise-grade intelligence.
A Landmark Moment of Recognition
The ASEAN Records certificate was officially presented on 23 January 2026 at Courtyard by Marriott Kuala Lumpur South.
The certificate was proudly received by Tan Aik Keong, Chief Executive Officer, together with Andhie Wong (Head of Research & Development), Crispy Wong Chui Yee (Lead Developer), Jerry Lai Tzy Ri (Developer), Marco Lai Zhi Qian (Business Development Manager), and Pang Jia Mei (Business Analyst, Project Manager), recognising the multidisciplinary team behind the platform’s development and execution.
The presentation was witnessed by YB Tuan Lee Chean Chung, Ahli Parlimen Petaling Jaya, underscoring the platform’s relevance to Malaysia’s SME digitalisation agenda and national innovation priorities.
Voices of Leadership
Reflecting on the recognition, Tan Aik Keong, Chief Executive Officer of Agmo Digital Solutions, shared:
“Being recognised by both ASEAN Records and ASIA Records is a meaningful milestone for AGMO. It affirms not only the technological innovation behind SME Hero AI, but also the belief that Malaysian companies can build AI platforms with regional impact.
This achievement proves that AI does not have to originate from Western markets or large multinational corporations. With the right local perspective, local expertise, and strong governance, Malaysia is fully capable of developing AI solutions that truly serve the needs of small and medium enterprises.
For SMEs, challenges are highly localised—ranging from regulations and compliance to workforce management. That is why SME Hero AI is built on local expert datasets, hosted on Malaysia-based sovereign infrastructure, and supported by human-in-the-loop monitoring. Our goal is to make enterprise-grade AI accessible, trustworthy, and practical, allowing business owners to ask complex questions in simple terms, at a price point that makes sense for SMEs.
This recognition reinforces AGMO’s long-term commitment to responsible AI development, local collaboration, and contributing meaningfully to Malaysia’s digital economy.”
