AI optimizes work performance for Vietnamese businesses

McKinsey’s latest report shows that over the past six years, AI adoption in organizations has hovered around 50%. Today, that rate has skyrocketed to 72%. More than two-thirds of candidates globally say their companies are using AI for a variety of processes.

Deloitte also pointed out that 94% of business leaders believe that AI will be an important factor determining the success of their organization in the next 5 years.

In Vietnam, this trend is no exception. According to a report by Oxford Insight and Statista, Vietnam ranked 55th in the world in terms of AI readiness index, up 21 places compared to 2022. In terms of AI market capacity, Vietnam could reach 1 billion USD by 2026.

The specific needs of Vietnamese businesses regarding AI

According to Dr. Tran Vu Anh, founder of Doctranslate.io - an AI translation platform - the explosion of large language models (LLM) such as ChatGPT and most recently DeepSeek has made AI more accessible to users. Since then, artificial intelligence has begun to permeate every corner of life, even in traditional businesses.

"However, the demand for AI by Vietnamese companies is also very special. Although many famous chatbots from OpenAI or DeepSeek are free and easy to customize, Vietnamese companies, especially traditional businesses, are still very hesitant to put these models into their operations," said Mr. Vu Anh.

One of the biggest reasons given is transparency and data security. Companies that are hundreds of years old have huge amounts of data, they do not want to give full access to a strange chatbot, with servers located abroad. "Free or omnipotent are sometimes not the priorities of these businesses when looking for AI solutions. What they need are customizable tools, data processed and stored right at the organization. That is what large companies like OpenAI or DeepSeek cannot do and is an opportunity for domestic AI startups," said CEO Doctranslate.

In addition, traditional businesses are typically cautious with new changes, so they often apply AI in stages on a small scale for testing and evaluation before expanding to a large scale. Therefore, solution providers must not only develop optimal tools but also listen to the needs of businesses to provide specific solutions for each stage.

AI saves hundreds of hours of work each month

As evidence for this trend, Mr. Vu Anh cited the actual case of many current corporate customers using the AI translation product Doctranslate. Previously, Acecook Vietnam employees had to manually translate internal documents and information to exchange with foreign partners. Since applying the AI translation tool - Doctranslate.io - they have saved more than 80 working hours per month, while improving translation quality, limiting potential risks when translating important documents.

According to a survey conducted by Doctranslate.io, before applying AI, human resource staff spent an average of 10 hours per week just translating internal documents from Vietnamese to Japanese and English to communicate with foreign partners and branches. Manual work is prone to errors. But when using AI translation, the workload has been reduced by 80%, saving dozens of hours per month.

Thanks to AI, translation speed is not only improved but also ensures accuracy, preserving the original document format. This is especially important for legal and policy documents. That is why companies need localized AI models instead of applying large chatbots of foreign companies.
