Isaac Tan.
I help executives find where AI creates real business value — then ship the tools their teams actually use.
I don't just advise on AI — I ship it.
The advisory work is sharper because I'm still in the trenches. Two products live, with paying users and a real P&L behind them. Everything I tell a client, I'm running on myself first.
Kelas Sekejap
An AI app that teaches Malaysians anything. Starting with English.
The bet: an AI tutor can do what a classroom never could — meet every learner exactly where they are, on their schedule, in their language. We start with English because it's the door. The thesis is bigger. Anything anyone wants to learn — a language, a trade, a mindset — for Malaysia, and for the rest of the region.
kelassekejap.comProject 65
An AI venture lab. We co-found, build, and ship AI-native companies.
We don't invest from the sidelines. We partner with proven operators and domain experts who already own their industry, and we bring the engineering, AI/ML, product, design, and growth horsepower to turn their thesis into a company. Models converge. The people who deeply understand a field don't.
A decade in the messy middle of AI.
Before product, I spent years on the inputs — the data, the labels, the pipelines that decide whether a model is actually useful. The work most executives never see, but their AI bets quietly depend on.
A direct line for executives learning and making real AI bets.
I work 1:1 with a small number of CEOs, founders, and operating leaders. Message me anytime, ask me anything. A weekly AI brief that's actually useful — to you and your business. Two hours a week, working on what's on your desk. No decks. No process theater.
Direct 1:1 line
Message me anytime — Slack, voice note, email, SMS. Ask me anything you can't ask your team, your board, or anyone with a stake in the answer. I respond in hours, not days, on the calls that matter.
Weekly AI brief
Every week, a brief written for you — not a newsletter. What's shipping, what's hype, what changes the calculus on the bets you're already making. Curated against your business, your board, your roadmap.
~2 hours together each week
A working session built around what's actually on your desk — the hire, the deck, the call you've been deferring, the product spec, the board prep. No agenda theater. We work on the real thing.
Honest counsel on the calls
Where to bet, who to hire, what to kill, when to ship. I tell you what I'd actually do — backed by ten years operating at the deepest layer of the modern AI stack — and then I help you do it.
