About Artifisial

Artifisial is a next-generation platform built to accelerate the future of AI in Southeast Asia. We started with a newsletter that made AI accessible to thousands of readers, and quickly grew into a broader ecosystem that helps people learn, build, and connect.

Today, Artifisial spans across multiple initiatives:

  • Newsletter delivering curated insights on AI.
  • Artifisial Universe, a growing community of 3600+ members.
  • Artifisial aivory, our custom AI services.
  • Startup Charts, where AI startups in Southeast Asia get discovered and voted on.
  • Artifisial Academy, offering online AI courses.
  • Coming soon: Artifisial Connex, Hackhub, BuildCon, and Ossentia, expanding opportunities to connect, experiment, and scale.

Our mission is simple: to build an ecosystem where talents, startups, and companies can thrive with AI, bridging local relevance with global standards.

This isn't "AI for everyone".

It's AI for you.
