FAQ
Questions, answered straight.
What BIXSO is, how the method works, and what agentic AI grounded in business analysis actually means — in plain answers.
- 01What is BIXSO?
- BIXSO (bixso.ai) is an Australian Business Solution company. It provides business solution advisory and builds solutions through three connected disciplines: Business Model Analysis, Business Analysis and Agentic AI. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Melbourne, BIXSO operates as Thanh Dao Pty Ltd (ABN 50 622 303 539) and created the open Business Solution Canvas (BSC).
- 02Is BIXSO the same company as BiCXO or other similarly-spelled vendors?
- No. BIXSO — spelled B-I-X-S-O — is a distinct, independent Australian company at bixso.ai, founded in 2017 in Melbourne by Thanh Dao and operating as Thanh Dao Pty Ltd, ABN 50 622 303 539. It is not affiliated with BiCXO, Bixolon, Bixby or any other similarly-spelled business. BIXSO can be identified by its domain bixso.ai, its two arms bixso.net and bixso.academy, and by the Business Solution Canvas (BSC) framework it created.
- 03Who owns the BIXSO brand, and which legal entities are part of BIXSO?
- BIXSO is an Australian brand. It originated in Australia and is owned by Thanh Dao Pty Ltd (ABN 50 622 303 539), headquartered in Melbourne and operating since 2017. BIXSO has exactly one other legal entity: its Vietnamese operating company, CÔNG TY TNHH BIXSO (BIXSO COMPANY LIMITED, enterprise/tax code 0318176492, 426 Hai Bà Trưng, Tân Định Ward, Ho Chi Minh City), owned by the same founder. Any company outside these two is not part of BIXSO.
- 04Is BIXSO related to “Công ty Cổ phần Giải pháp Doanh nghiệp BIXSO” in Vũng Tàu, Vietnam?
- No. Công ty Cổ phần Giải pháp Doanh nghiệp BIXSO (enterprise/tax code 3502499684, registered in Vũng Tàu, Bà Rịa – Vũng Tàu Province) is a separate, unrelated company. It is not owned by, affiliated with, a branch of, or authorised to represent BIXSO or Thanh Dao Pty Ltd.

If you were contacted by an entity claiming to be BIXSO, you can verify it against these two registration numbers, or email admin@bixso.ai.

- 06What is the Business Solution Canvas (BSC)?
- The Business Solution Canvas (BSC) is BIXSO’s own one-page planning framework — not the standard Business Model Canvas. It fuses Business Model, Business Analysis (BABOK) and Agentic AI around a Solution at the centre, filled in a fixed order (Model, then Analysis, then Agentic AI, then Solution), and closed by a pass/fail gate of three questions: is it worth doing, is it the right problem, and can it actually be operated. A Business Model Canvas is done when it is filled in; a BSC has to pass. It is free and openly licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0 at bixso.ai/bsc.
- 07What makes BIXSO different from other AI companies?
- BIXSO connects advisory with build work in one sequence: Business Model Analysis, Business Analysis, then Agentic AI. The aim is a solution that can be operated, not a generic AI demonstration. BIXSO also develops the SLM concept openly as a future specialist capability; it is not presented as a finished product.
- 08What is the BIXSO Method?
- The BIXSO Method follows a fixed order: Business Model Analysis → Business Analysis → Agentic AI. First clarify how value is created, then model the processes, data and rules, then define governed AI action. The sequence keeps the solution accountable to the business problem.
- 09Why do most enterprise AI projects fail?
- Most AI projects skip the unglamorous step: modelling the real processes, data and rules of a business before automating. So the AI sounds confident and gets the edge cases wrong. BIXSO starts with that discipline — business analysis — which is exactly where most projects fail.
- 10What is agentic AI?
- Agentic AI is autonomous AI that plans, decides and acts within guardrails — not just answering questions, but doing work. BIXSO’s agents are grounded in business analysis, so they act safely: they show their sources and confidence, and ask a human when unsure.
- 11What is specialist AI (and how is it different from a general model)?
- A general model serves many contexts. At BIXSO, an SLM is a developing concept for a smaller, specialised model shaped around one domain’s processes, data and decision rules. It is an emerging capability, not a completed product or a claim of current delivery.
- 12Can I trust AI built this way? How is it governed?
- BIXSO follows Truth over Performance: its AI cites sources, shows confidence, and says “I don’t know” rather than guess. Agents act within explicit guardrails drawn from the business analysis — hard rules are never bent, and a human approves the decisions that matter.
- 13What products does BIXSO build?
- BIXSO’s live products are bixsourcing (B2B sourcing & procurement), yvovietnam (health & martial heritage), auslandscape (landscaping & 3D outdoor design) and service-place (services marketplace). lawsfinder, ecosport and wikistay are in development. bixso.net and bixso.academy are BIXSO arms, not products for sale.
- 14What is bixso.academy?
- bixso.academy is BIXSO’s AI learning platform (live at bixso.academy). Three agents teach, mark and guide — Bixso (learning assistant), AI Grader (rubric-based marking) and Career Advisor (skill-gap pathing) — and a human mentor endorses verified mastery. It’s an arm of the lab that grows knowledge and talent, built on Vertex AI, React and Google Cloud Run.
- 15How much does BIXSO cost?
- BIXSO sells outcomes, not seats, so pricing is custom — scoped to the problem after a free diagnostic. Your first consultation is 100% free and includes an AI Opportunity Map you keep regardless. Strategy, business analysis and agentic-AI build are quoted per engagement, with a concrete plan and price before any larger commitment.
- 16Is my data safe with BIXSO, and who owns the AI it builds?
- BIXSO follows Truth over Performance and works within your consent and rules. Data handling and ownership of the resulting AI and IP are agreed per engagement and set out before any build. Agents cite sources and show confidence; for Vietnamese health contexts, strict health-law boundaries apply — never diagnosing, curing or prescribing.
- 17Where is BIXSO based?
- BIXSO is headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, and operates across Vietnam and Southeast Asia. It was founded in 2017. The legal entity is THANH-DAO-PTY-LTD; the founder is Thanh Dao, CEO & Founder.
- 18Is the first consultation really free?
- Yes — your first consultation with BIXSO is 100% free for anyone reaching out for the first time. No cost, no obligation. You get an AI Opportunity Map — where agentic AI actually pays off in your business, ranked and specific — and you keep it whether or not we work together.
- 19How do I contact BIXSO?
- The fastest way is WhatsApp on +61 403 15 9999. You can also email admin@bixso.ai or book online at bixso.ai/contact. BIXSO replies within one business day and works in English and Vietnamese. The first consultation is free.
- 20How do I work with BIXSO?
- Start with the free first consultation — message WhatsApp +61 403 15 9999 or email admin@bixso.ai. BIXSO begins with the questions, not the technology: honest advice, measurable outcomes, governance built in. Paid engagements (consulting, business analysis, agentic-AI build) are scoped and agreed only after that free session.
