The workspace
Not a chat window.
A full AI workspace.
The most capable AI tools in the world cost around US$20 a month and require a credit card. In the Philippines, most people are prepaid mobile users and many have never held a card. AI.Smart removes both barriers at once: a week of use for the price of a cup of coffee, paid the way Filipinos already pay for everything on their phone — and built for the way Filipinos work, in their own language and on their own documents.
Answers with citations
Ask questions about your own documents and get grounded answers — in English, Filipino, or Taglish.
Documents, done faster
Draft proposals, research papers and posts; summarize long reads into what matters.
Spreadsheets & presentations
Build budgets, analyze data, and generate presentations from a single chat.
Ideas, brought to life
Generate images for a business, a celebration, or a school project — and plan the trip around it.
- Your uploads stay private to your workspace
- Never used to train AI models
- Safety guardrails hold in Filipino as firmly as in English
Millions of Filipinos already run their lives, their studies, and their online shopping and freelancing on a Smart connection. AI.Smart puts a real AI assistant right beside it, one that understands Filipino, respects your privacy, and can be paid for through your existing prepaid or postpaid account. At ₱49 for a week, a student can get help with exam preparation or a research paper, a freelancer can turn client notes into a polished proposal, and a family can plan a trip, a budget, or a celebration. That is a Smart advantage we want every subscriber to have, not just those who can afford an expensive subscription.

Powered by AWS and Amazon Bedrock
Frontier models. Local price.
AI.Smart runs in a dedicated AWS landing zone provisioned for Smart, with inference served through Amazon Bedrock. Subscribers get the right model for each task from a single platform — including Amazon Nova, Anthropic's Claude, Google Gemini, OpenAI, and Thinking Machines — which is what makes a ₱49 entry price possible without compromising on capability. Subscriber data is never retained by any model provider; it is encrypted at rest and in transit and handled in line with the Philippine Data Privacy Act.
The next billion AI users will not come from Silicon Valley. They will come from Manila, Jakarta, Mexico City, Bogotá, Lagos, and Dhaka, and they will arrive on a prepaid phone. This is how AI reaches everyone: not by waiting for prices to fall, but by building locally, pricing locally, and charging to the account people already have. The Philippines is first. The model travels.
Winston Damarillo — CEO, Amihan Global Strategies, Inc.
We built Amazon Bedrock so that any builder, anywhere, can access the same frontier AI models that power the world's largest companies. Amihan and Avtica used Bedrock to put those models to work for Filipino students, freelancers, and small-business owners — in their language, at a local price, charged to the mobile account they already have. When a student in Cebu can reach for the same AI tools as a developer in Seattle, that's the democratization of technology in action.

Priced for every subscriber
Four packs. Any mix of work.
Credits are spent on any mix of chats, documents, spreadsheets, images, or presentations. Pro and Max can be shared by a team or family. Packs are purchased inside AI.Smart and charged to the subscriber's Smart or TNT mobile account: confirm a one-time PIN by SMS and the credits are added instantly.
₱49
A week of AI for the price of a cup of coffee. Exam prep, trip plans, first drafts.
₱99
Two weeks of everyday use — studies, side gigs, and family planning.
₱149
A full month for a freelancer or family. Shareable across your team or household.
₱499
Heavy use for small businesses: documents, data, decks, and images all month.
A model for emerging markets
The Philippines is the proving ground.
AI.Smart is designed to be repeated: a national mobile operator, a local cloud region, frontier models through Amazon Bedrock, and a workspace tuned to the local language, privacy law, and payment habits. Avtica intends to bring the same model to markets across Southeast Asia, Latin America, Africa, and South Asia with operators and cloud partners in each country.
