The loophole that causes 99% of business owners to lose money

'Don't sleep when the customer is awake' is the mantra of many shop owners. Because the lack of consultants and closing deals outside of business hours is considered a loophole that causes 99% of businesses to lose money.

The artificial intelligence (AI) revolution is opening up completely new ways of making money, and leading this trend is the AI ​​Agent.

Going beyond mere generative AI tools, AI Agents act as autonomous “workforces,” capable of executing complex tasks from start to finish with a single command.

This is not just a support tool, but a real money-making machine, helping businesses and individuals optimize costs, speed up production and even "close orders" even when the shop owner is sleeping. Information shared by speakers at the AI4VN 2025 event.

Save tens of thousands of dollars on a market report

In competitive fields like real estate and stocks, the first to grasp information wins. AI Agents are the ultimate weapon to gain this advantage.

According to Mr. Cao Vuong, founder of AIVA, if in the past, businesses had to spend tens of thousands of USD for an in-depth market report, now they just need to give orders to AI Agent.

For example, "research on the clean vegetable market using hydroponic technology", it will automatically synthesize tens of thousands of global data, analyze, draw charts and generate a detailed PDF report in just a few minutes.

This ability helps businesses quickly assess market potential and make accurate business decisions.

AI Agent can also act as a personal investment assistant. For example, every morning at 8am, you have an AI assistant automatically scan the news from mainstream newspapers, analyze and make recommendations on potential real estate areas or stocks to invest in.

Instead of spending hours reading newspapers, you will be the first to seize the opportunity, turning information into profit quickly, said Mr. Cao Vuong.

Automated content creation and branding

Bringing products to online platforms like TikTok, YouTube or Facebook often faces a major obstacle: "content shortage". AI Agent completely solves this problem by automating the entire content marketing process.

Just enter a topic, like “coffee shop marketing tips,” and the AI ​​Agent can automatically generate a month’s worth of content, from short video scripts for TikTok to insightful articles for Facebook.

Once content is created, Agent automatically schedules and posts on the specified date and time, helping to maintain a consistent brand presence across all platforms with minimal effort.

Outsourcing creative services like website design or video production can be expensive. AI Agent empowers anyone to do these tasks themselves at almost zero cost.

According to Mr. Cao Vuong, instead of spending a month working with the design team and spending 30-40 million VND, you just need to give the AI ​​Agent a command, like "create me a website about beautiful photo services", and a complete website will be born in just a few minutes. You can quickly create dozens of sales pages for different products and services.

AI Agent also produces mass advertising videos. The founder of AIVA cited an example: A TVC advertisement in the past could cost hundreds of millions of VND and many days of production.

With AI Agent, it is possible to create 20-30 high-quality videos in just half an hour. Agent will write the script, create prompts, arrange characters, scenes and edit into a complete video, helping to speed up production and save maximum costs.

"Closing Machine" 24/7: Selling even when the shop owner is sleeping

“One problem for businesses is taking care of customers outside of business hours. The time when customers usually shop is after 8 pm, when employees are off. When customers ask questions and no one answers, they will look for other competitors. This is a loophole that causes 99% of current business owners to lose money,” said Mr. Cao Vuong.

The solution is AI Agent chatbot. It acts as a customer service agent who never sleeps, automatically consulting, answering questions and closing orders even when the shop owner is out or asleep.

This chatbot can confirm orders and automatically save customer data to the CRM system, ensuring no potential customers are missed.

With the latest generation of AI, every complex process is simplified. You just need to "chat" out the request, and the AI ​​Agent will automatically coordinate the necessary tools to create the final result, from blogging, making slides, to designing infographics, all in just 5-10 minutes.

The future of making money is no longer a question of "should I use an AI Agent", but "when will I start?".

In Vietnam, AI Agents are being strongly applied by businesses. According to Mr. Le Hong Viet, General Director of FPT Smart Cloud, the company has deployed more than 1,500 AI Agents for customers, helping to automate 46% of the workload of customer care centers, increase revenue through telesales channels by 20% and process more than 400 million sets of documents each year with an accuracy of over 95%.

In the human resources sector, AI assistants help 20,000 employees learn regularly, increasing knowledge quality by 15% and saving 80% of training resources.

Mr. Ajay Kushwaha, Senior Director of Enterprise Architecture for ASEAN region at Salesforce, commented that AI Agent is changing the way businesses operate in many areas such as services, sales, marketing, commerce...

However, to turn opportunities into competitive advantages, businesses need to carefully prepare data, security, monitoring mechanisms and implementation processes.

"Businesses not only need an AI Agent platform, but also need to have a systems mindset - asking questions about where the data comes from, whether the data is used legally, and how to monitor and protect users, otherwise, the benefits of AI will be difficult to sustain," Mr. Kushwaha shared.
