Great evening in Da Nang supporting the local AI community.

Cipher Projects was proud to support this meetup, bringing together Cursor and the growing AI scene here in Da Nang 🇻🇳

Straight from San Francisco, from Cursor joined to talk AI with the community, and after the event, we had the chance to sit down with him for a deeper conversation on where AI is headed.

Thanks to everyone who came out, especially those who asked great questions during the session.

Da Nang's AI community keeps growing, and it's exciting to be part of that.

This morning Keith is headed to the Bitexco Tower for AWS AgentCore.

Talking production-ready AI agents.

Then tonight right here in D2, I'm hitting Digital Saigon, one of the coolest tech meetups in the city.

AI agents can write documents.

They should be able to send and manage signatures too. And that's why we built SumoSign.

I recently sat down at a Frontier Club AI event to talk about SumoSign, an AI-first electronic signature platform built for developers, AI agents, and modern software teams.

We discuss why we built SumoSign, how AI agents are changing document workflows, and why electronic signature platforms need APIs designed for AI-native applications.

We also talk about the work we're doing at Cipher Projects, where we build cloud infrastructure, AI systems, automation, and custom software for businesses across Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.

If you're interested in AI agents, workflow automation, SaaS, cloud engineering, or building production AI products, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

This weekend, we backed something new:

Frontier Club AI Meetup #1 in Da Nang, Vietnam 🇻🇳

A month ago, Laksh and I asked ourselves a question as Frontier Club founders: what do builders actually want from an AI event?

People want to come and build. They want talks that actually help them improve their workflow, seeing how someone really works, not the polished version.

The answer was clear enough that Cipher Projects jumped in to help make it real.

So this past weekend, Cipher Projects sponsored AI Meetup #1 alongside Yobeve Protein Bars and Your Event Kit, a room full of founders, builders, and makers showing each other what they're actually working on.

Speakers:

Rob Hallam Rob Hallam () - SuperX .so
Alvaro Trigo () - FullPage .js
Igor Turchak () - Scopeful .org
Romie Carillo ()

Covering everything from AI workflows and marketing to squeezing the most out of cost-to-productivity, and yes, even building houses out of Mac Minis.

Big thanks to volunteer Johnny Tran and the whole community that showed up to build, share, and learn.

This is just the start.

Frontier Club has more meetups coming, and Cipher Projects is glad to be part of it 👀

RAND data shows 80% of AI projects fail to deliver value. This guide breaks down the 7 most common failure patterns and a practical operating framework used by the 15% of projects that actually ship to production.

Saigon is the best place for builders.

With AI meetups every week and now Lotus Hacks Vietnam’s largest ever Hackathon.

Judges and interest from around the world including Harvard, OpenAi, Agora, AWS, Qwen, Valsea, Tiny Fish, Eleven Labs and OpenRouter it’s hard to not take notice.

We had an awesome weekend of development, building relationships and it was non-stop action.

There was at least one exciting cybersecurity tool which I think has real world value and hope to see it launched soon.

Thanks to Huy Nguyen Johnny Tran and Ly Ngoc Vu

AI didn’t just improve software development.

It collapsed it.

In 2026, you don’t need:
– 30 developers
– $20M in VC funding
– years of burn chasing product–market fit

You need:
– a small number of senior system builders
– cloud-first thinking
– AI used to amplify existing skill, not replace it

Five strong engineers can now do what twenty used to do. The constraint is no longer headcount.

It’s clarity, architecture, and ex*****on discipline.

The companies that adapt will build faster, cheaper, and with more control. The ones that don’t will keep scaling cost instead of capability.

Teams like this are in limited supply. Apply with us for a spot in 2026.
