How to vote for Chạm AI
- Open the Phygital Agency kết hợp AI entry page.
- Press the blue Bình chọn (Vote) button under the entry title.
- If the page asks you to sign in, sign in and confirm.
Each person can vote only once per category, so sharing the page with colleagues interested in AI for business helps most. Chạm AI does not use fake accounts or paid voting services; every vote should come from a real person.
What the entry is about: three revenue leaks
- Past customer data sits idle in the CRM. An AI Agent working 24/7 follows up with each customer instead of letting the list go cold.
- Customers ask ChatGPT and the business is not mentioned. GEO for AI Overviews helps the brand appear when customers ask AI tools.
- The showroom says one thing, the website another. Phygital joins digital channels and physical spaces into one experience, starting with a customer journey audit.
The point the entry stresses is that an AI layer that understands the business must sit between the digital and physical platforms, and with today's free local models a business can build that foundation at its own premises.

What is running for real
Judges score the other 50% on real-world solutions, so Chạm AI presents products it built and operates itself, not as client projects (see Work):
- chamaiagency.website: a knowledge library, SEO/GEO checking tools and an AI Agent answering visitors on the site.
- docduan.com / Saigon Park: an experiment turning legal, planning and real-estate news data into a measured reading journey.
- techvision.click: a lab for publishing, search and content automation workflows.
