Hi, I'm Dinh.

Practical AI.
Personally led.

I advise businesses on AI and lead delivery. For AI development projects, a team handles implementation while I guide the scope, technical direction, and review.

Direct advice from me. Development delivered with a team.

What we can work on

Start with a real problem. Give the technology a clear job.

AI advisory

Work directly with me to find where AI fits your business, assess your data, and turn an idea into a practical implementation plan.

  • Use-case discovery & prioritization
  • Data, privacy & infrastructure assessment
  • Pilot scope & success criteria
Discuss your use case

AI development

I lead the project, and a delivery team implements the agreed scope. Build AI tools and integrations around your business workflows.

  • Internal AI tools, agents & integrations
  • Team delivery with my technical oversight
  • Human review for important actions

Local Knowledge AI · In development

Your enterprise knowledge.
On your infrastructure.

Local Knowledge AI is being developed to turn complex documents into searchable knowledge, with the entire processing and inference pipeline running inside your organization.

The local deployment goal: document content and AI requests stay inside your environment during operation. Network isolation and offline requirements will be assessed and tested during the pilot.

Planned capabilities, to be validated during development and pilots

Complex PDFs

Parse text, scanned pages, and mixed layouts while keeping connections to the original document.

OCR & visual understanding

Extract text from scans and use local vision models to interpret images, charts, and diagrams.

Answers with evidence

Combine keyword and semantic search, rerank results, and link answers to source pages. Flag missing evidence.

Large document collections

Batch ingestion, background processing, progress tracking, retries, and index updates as documents change.

Controlled access

Knowledge-base permissions enforced during retrieval, with access and administrative audit logs.

A fully local pipeline

Run parsing, OCR, vision, embeddings, retrieval, answer generation, storage, and logs in your environment.

Aiming for tens of thousands of pages

This is a target for total document-collection size, not a verified benchmark. Capacity, speed, and accuracy depend on document complexity, models, and hardware, and need to be validated in a pilot.

An answer.

What should a new vendor submit?

In this fictional policy, a new vendor submits a company profile and a service description. The procurement owner checks both before starting the review.

A clear path from idea to pilot

Know what we're testing, and what success looks like.

  1. 01

    Understand the problem

    Start with your team, workflow, data, and the outcome that would make a difference.

  2. 02

    Define a useful pilot

    Agree on representative documents, access rules, infrastructure, and questions to test.

  3. 03

    Measure before expanding

    Assess parsing, retrieval, source accuracy, processing speed, and local operation.

  4. 04

    Plan deployment & support

    Use the pilot findings to scope rollout, ownership, updates, and ongoing maintenance.

Dinh Van · Independent AI consultant

DinhNV is my personal home on the web. I work independently as an AI consultant, so you work directly with me on strategy, discovery, and technical direction.

When a project moves into AI development, I bring together a team for the agreed scope and stay involved in planning and review. Team roles, deliverables, and support are defined for each engagement.

Local Knowledge AI is the private enterprise knowledge service I'm developing. Its local deployment, document capabilities, and scale will be validated through pilots.

Let's start with your problem.

What would you like
to build with AI?

Tell me about your team, your workflow or documents, and the outcome you have in mind. For Local Knowledge AI, include your local infrastructure and privacy requirements.
