Vanguard AI is an agentic AI platform built in Laos. You hand a task to an AI agent and get finished work back: it reads documents, transcribes meetings, researches markets and returns completed files, in Lao, Thai and English, all from one credit balance.

- How it works: ask in your own words, the agent plans the steps, uses the right tools, then delivers finished files (.docx, .xlsx, slides, web pages). Nothing is published or paid for without your approval
- Document OCR for passports, ID cards, driving licences, bank cards, tax and business documents, returned as structured JSON
- PDF to Word that checks every character, so Lao vowels and tone marks stay correct
- Speech to text for meetings and voice notes, and text to speech with 18 voices in 7 languages
- Voice Live with two voice assistants, ISAC and ANNA, plus Chat, a Marketing analysis agent and an Agent Builder
- One API and one API key for every service, starting from ₭250 per credit
I pitched Vanguard AI in the Digital Startup category at Lao Digital Awards 2026. The goal stays the same: make AI useful for Lao people, in Lao.
