Today, I am building no fewer than three detached systems every day, in addition to producing around four complete pitch decks weekly, with extensive support from AI agents.
Across development, research, coding, testing, documentation, analysis and iteration, our AI workload can reach 3–5 billion tokens per month.
If translated into commercial premium LLM API pricing, the equivalent cost could easily reach hundreds of thousands of ringgit monthly.
Now translate that into a corporate environment.
Imagine an organisation with hundreds or thousands of employees, each equipped with AI agents for research, analysis, reporting, coding, documentation, operations and decision support.
Token consumption would scale extremely fast.
At the same time, corporations increasingly have little choice but to adopt AI agents.
Why?
Because small companies like ours can now achieve productivity levels that previously required hundreds or even thousands of employees.
AI is rapidly narrowing the productivity gap between small companies and large corporations.
But there is another side.
AI productivity does not have to mean massive AI expenditure.
In our environment, even at around 3 billion tokens per month, direct AI cost can remain only about RM100–RM200 monthly.
The difference is not because we use less AI.
It is because we built a Smart Routing architecture around our AI agents.
Not every task should go to the largest or most expensive model.
Simple tasks → lightweight models.
Coding tasks → specialised models.
Complex reasoning → stronger models.
Deterministic validation → detached systems.
Repetitive processing → automation and conventional computing.
The principle is simple:
Use premium intelligence only when it is truly required.
Our detached systems handle validation, calculations, filtering, reconciliation, rule-based decisions and structured processing that do not require an LLM.
This allows aggressive AI usage without paying as if every task needs the most powerful model.
For me, the future of Enterprise AI is not simply:
“Give every employee an AI agent.”
It should be:
“Give every employee an AI agent - but build intelligent infrastructure underneath it.”
Because when an organisation has 1,000 or 10,000 AI-enabled employees, the real question is no longer whether it uses AI.
The real question becomes:
How much intelligence is the organisation paying for that it never actually needed?
This is why we see Smart Routing, specialised models and detached systems as more than optimisation.
They are becoming AI cost-control infrastructure.
At enterprise scale, that difference could be worth millions of ringgit yearly.
The next phase of AI adoption will not only be about the most powerful models.
It will be about knowing when not to use them.

Not sure I agree with or 10,000 AI-enab 1,000, but the rest holds up.
Still thinking about only about RM RM100.
Good write-up. analysis and iteration, our AI alone was worth the read. Need to read this part again.
The framing around rule-based decisions and structured processing is better than I expected.
I read this twice. calculations, filtering, reconciliation is the part that stuck.
