Introducing QNG AI, Quảng Ngãi’s own AI assistant
Why we are building a local-first AI assistant for the new Quảng Ngãi province, from the Măng Đen highlands to Lý Sơn island, and why it runs on Claude.
Coming soon · Building with Claude
Quảng Ngãi’s own AI assistant.
QNG AI is a local-first AI assistant for the new Quảng Ngãi province — where the Kon Tum highlands meet the Quảng Ngãi coast. Ask anything about home, from Măng Đen to Lý Sơn.

QNG AI
Knows home, highlands to sea
I have four days in Quảng Ngãi. Highlands or sea?
Why not both? Start in Măng Đen — around 1,200 m up, with cool pine forests and Kon Tum’s famous gỏi lá.
Then head down to the coast and take the boat from Sa Kỳ port to Lý Sơn for garlic fields and volcanic cliffs.

Why QNG AI
A small project, built for home.
Three short stories about why we are building this.
01 · Two lands
One home where the highlands meet the sea.
Kon Tum has a story in every valley — misty Măng Đen, the Đăk Bla river that famously flows west, the Kon Klor suspension bridge, Ba Na rông houses, Central Highlands gongs, gỏi lá and Đăk Hà coffee.
Then down to the plains and the coast: Lý Sơn island, Sa Huỳnh, the Trà Khúc river. Since 1 July 2025, all of it is one new Quảng Ngãi province.
02 · The palette
Even the colours tell a story.
Our gradient runs from emerald to sky blue. Emerald is Kon Tum’s old-growth forests, tea hills and terraced fields; sky is the East Sea, Lý Sơn island and the Trà Khúc river reaching the sea.
One gradient, two lands, one home.
03 · Built for home
Someone from the village to ask.
QNG AI is an independent project made for home — not a ChatGPT clone, not another generic travel app.
The goal is simple: wherever people from Kon Tum and Quảng Ngãi are, they have someone “from the village” to ask.
What it does
An assistant fluent in home.
The five commitments from our original vision — plus one more for the travellers we want to welcome.
Knows the highlands and the coast
From Măng Đen, Ngọc Hồi and Kon Plông to Lý Sơn and Sa Huỳnh — both former provinces, understood as one new Quảng Ngãi.
Food, culture and festivals
Gỏi lá, Đăk Hà coffee, cơm lam, Central Highlands gongs — then don soup, ram bắp, Trà river gobies and the Tịnh Long boat races.
Everyday life
Market days, opening hours, the Kon Tum – Quảng Ngãi coach schedule, this morning’s weather in Măng Đen. Ask once, get an answer.
For residents and visitors
Locals far from home find what they need in seconds. Travellers plan a Măng Đen – Lý Sơn trip in one conversation, not ten browser tabs.
AI for every home and every trade
Businesses, family shops, young and old — help with selling, operations, promotion and writing, so everyone does their own work better.
Vietnamese first, English too
Natural Vietnamese, including the way people at home actually talk — and clear English for international visitors.
Who it’s for
Ask it the way you’d ask a neighbour.
Example questions we are designing QNG AI to answer well.
Travellers
Plan a highlands-to-sea trip without stitching together ten sources.
- “Two days in Măng Đen, then Lý Sơn — how do I get from one to the other?”
- “Where can I try gỏi lá near Kon Tum?”
Locals far from home
Stay close to home: news, events and the practical details that changed after the merger.
- “Which new commune is my parents’ old address in now?”
- “When is the next festival back home?”
Small businesses
Posts, product descriptions and customer replies — written in the local voice.
- “Write a post introducing our Lý Sơn garlic for Tết orders.”
- “Reply politely to a customer asking about delivery to Kon Tum.”
Culture and history lovers
The land’s history, peoples and traditions, explained in plain language.
- “Explain the Ba Na rông house in simple terms.”
- “What is the story behind the Sa Huỳnh culture?”
Built with Claude
A local assistant has to be trusted.
That is why Claude, by Anthropic, is the reasoning core of QNG AI — paired with a local knowledge base we curate ourselves.
Fluent, natural Vietnamese
Claude understands and writes Vietnamese with nuance — tone, forms of address, regional phrasing — and switches to English for visitors.Grounded, not guessed
Long context and retrieval keep answers tied to curated local sources, with citations — and an honest “I’m not sure” instead of an invented bus time.Live answers through tools
Tool use connects the assistant to weather, maps, events and schedules, so everyday questions get current answers.Safe for everyone at home
Elders and first-time AI users will rely on QNG AI. Anthropic’s focus on safe, helpful behaviour fits a public, community assistant.
How a question becomes an answer
Planned architecture01Local knowledge base
Curated travel, food, culture, public-service and community information for both regions.
02Retrieval
The most relevant local passages are found for each question.
03Claude reasons
Claude reads the sources, calls tools for live data and writes the answer in Vietnamese or English.
04Answer with sources
A clear reply that shows where it came from — on the web first, then wherever people chat.
Roadmap
Where we are, and what comes next.
We would rather ship carefully than ship fast. Dates firm up as each phase completes.
