About AI-Ya!
AI news for Malaysia, in plain language.
We follow what happens in AI every day and explain what it means for Malaysians. Aiyai, AI tak susah!
Aiya
is what Malaysians say when something feels like too much. We put the AI in it, and take the too much
out.
Our story
Made for Malaysia, because nobody else was
We read and listen to a lot of AI news, and we are always impressed by what the big international platforms put out. But we could not find one made for Malaysia. So we built it.
AI-Ya! covers what is new in AI and connects it to life and work here: local rules, government programmes, Malaysian companies, and what a new tool or model means for you specifically.
We also just love talking about AI. We work with it every day in real client projects, and AI-Ya! is where we share what we learn.

Vendor-neutral
We cover and use all the major AI tools and are not tied to any of them.
Independent, and clear about ads
We currently have no sponsors, affiliate links or paid placements. If that changes, paid content will always be clearly marked as paid, and we keep the final say on what we write. Our reviews stay honest.
