Master of One's Own Domain: IONext.ai Pushes Local Companies to Level Up via Open AI Models
The utilisation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become part of daily operations for many companies in Indonesia. Some are no longer relying solely on standard paid AI services and have begun developing more targeted AI to support their operations. However, many of these domestic AI models stall at the trial stage—creating demos, testing chatbots, or piloting AI on a small scale without successfully integrating them into everyday business operations.
To address this challenge, IONext.ai Co-founder & CEO Mohamad Fachri announced the company held ‘AI Production at Scale Indonesia 2026’ on 18 June 2026, at the Apple Developer Institute for Professionals in the Autograph Tower, Jakarta. ‘The event brought together around 100 selected technology builders, from CEOs, CTOs, and VPs of Engineering to software houses and growing companies in the banking, retail, and manufacturing sectors,’ Fachri stated on Friday, 19 June 2026. ‘They discussed one crucial issue: how to take AI from mere experimentation to a system that is truly operational, secure, and beneficial for business.’
He added that many companies want AI systems capable of reading documents, answering internal queries, performing analysis, processing images and video, and automating workflows. Yet when AI enters the real business world, the challenge is no longer just about having a smart model. Companies also require infrastructure that is secure, stable, efficient, and suited to operational needs. IONext.ai recognised this difficulty and is ready to act as a partner for companies, software houses, and AI developers in Indonesia aiming to build more serious, production-ready AI systems. ‘Through the IONext.ai platform, companies can use various high-performance open AI models such as Qwen, DeepSeek, and Llama, running on IONext.ai’s infrastructure in Indonesia,’ Fachri explained. With this approach, companies can build capable AI comparable to global services like ChatGPT or Claude in language and data processing abilities, but with greater control over security, governance, and data locality.
