How BigDomain Saved RM50k a Month with an AI Workforce — Live Demo at SAMENTA AI Fest Penang

Dr Henry Tye of Big Domain takes the stage at SAMENTA AI Fest Penang on 9 September to show how an AI workforce saved BigDomain RM50,000 a month — live demo included.

PENANG, Sept 8, 2026 — “How BigDomain Saved RM50k a Month with AI Workforce” is not a headline about someone else’s company. It is the session Dr Henry Tye — Agentic AI & SEO Expert and CEO of Big Domain will present live at the SAMENTA Hyperlokal AI Fest 2026, UOW Malaysia KDU Penang (Batu Kawan), on Wednesday, 9 September 2026.

Alongside co-speaker Alain Lye, CEO of VeecoTech, the session turns the hype around AI on its head: instead of another talk about “what AI can do someday”, attendees watch a Malaysian company’s real numbers — how autonomous AI “virtual staff” replaced repetitive manual work, cut overheads and put RM50,000 a month back into the business.

The RM50k Question: What Is an AI Workforce?

Behind the headline number is a simple idea Malaysian SMEs can act on: agentic AI “virtual staff” that execute end-to-end workflows — not chatbots that only answer. At Big Domain, autonomous AI agents now handle work across marketing, customer service, content, and operations, running multi-step tasks from start to finish with human review at the end.

The savings stack up fast when repetitive work stops consuming staff hours. Big Domain’s own AI-assisted operations — from WhatsApp CRM and chatbot flows to content and campaign work — delivered the equivalent of a full extra team without adding headcount. The RM50k a month figure is the measurable result the team tracks internally.

What Happens at the Session

This is a live demo, not a slideshow. Dr Henry Tye will show, on screen:

• Agentic AI platforms in action — including WorkBuddy, the tool Big Domain uses daily.
• How a virtual marketing / HR / finance workforce is built — step by step, in plain language.
• Real automation wins — lead generation, content, customer service, event management.
• Where the RM50k a month comes from — the workflows Big Domain automated and the maths behind the savings.
• How your business can start — without hiring developers or buying expensive software.

Why Penang SMEs Should Be in the Room

The Batu Kawan stop is part of SAMENTA’s 50-city Hyperlokal AI Fest tour — “Empowering SMEs, One Town at a Time” — bringing practical, business-ready AI to local businesses. The event is supported by national partners Maybank and CelcomDigi, along with CGC, Funding Societies, Jobstreet, UOW Malaysia KDU, and ecosystem supporters including Big Domain, RakanSales and Trinity42.

Rising overheads, hiring bottlenecks and manual routine tasks are the same everywhere. The difference is what you do about them — and 9 September is a free, practical starting point for Penang SMEs.
