Project 100, marketing consultancy serving small businesses across Silicon Valley, announced the launch of P.I.A. (Project Intelligence Agent) — a smart, human-like AI assistant designed to streamline communication and operations in a way that feels natural and intuitive.

But make no mistake: Project 100 is not launching an AI platform. Instead, the company is doing what it does best — helping clients adapt intelligently to technology by elegantly integrating best-in-class AI tools into their businesses.

“We’re not an AI company. We’re a marketing and growth team that knows how to use AI wisely,” explains My Nguyen, owner and project lead at Project 100. “There’s a flood of AI products right now, but most of them don’t fit the way small businesses actually operate. Our approach with P.I.A. is to bring together existing platforms and configure them to serve real business needs — without the complexity.”

Introducing P.I.A.: A Real-Feeling AI Assistant Built for Small Business Needs

P.I.A., short for Project Intelligence Agent, is a thoughtfully designed AI assistant that communicates across multiple channels and supports essential business functions behind the scenes. Whether it's answering a customer inquiry, scheduling an appointment, or following up after a sale, P.I.A. feels like a natural extension of the team — not a robot bolted onto the front desk.

“It’s less about building something entirely new and more about applying what already exists — the right way,” Nguyen adds. “There are already incredible AI tools out there. Our job is to bring them together in a way that’s meaningful and manageable for the businesses we work with.”

Not 24/7 — Just Like a Really Good Teammate

One of P.I.A.’s most compelling features is how present it feels. Rather than being "available 24/7" like a cold, always-on bot, P.I.A. is configured to be available like a real team member — responsive, reliable, and human in tone.

“We wanted P.I.A. to feel like a person who never drops the ball — not a machine that never sleeps,” says Nguyen. “It maintains consistency, empathy, and brand tone, so when someone interacts with it, it feels like talking to your business, not some faceless bot.”

P.I.A. doesn’t respond with canned answers or rigid scripts. Its responses are crafted using natural language models, tailored to match the voice of each business it supports. Whether it's a friendly hair salon or a serious law firm, the tone, timing, and content are all finely tuned to reflect the brand.

Designed for Small Businesses in the Bay Area — Not Tech Giants

Unlike enterprise AI solutions that require months of onboarding and massive budgets, P.I.A. is built to meet small businesses where they are. Whether you're a solopreneur running a studio in San Mateo or a small team managing a dental clinic in Palo Alto, P.I.A. fits into your existing workflow — without demanding that you overhaul your systems.

“Too many AI tools are made for people who already understand tech deeply,” Nguyen notes. “Our clients are busy running businesses. They want results, not more software to manage. That’s where we come in.”

With P.I.A., Project 100 does all the heavy lifting — identifying the best combination of AI services for the client's needs, handling integration, configuring customer flows, and testing for tone and consistency. Clients don’t need to learn a new system or babysit a bot. It just works.
