About me

Programmer turned trainer ๐ŸŽ“

I started as a software programmer, then spent two decades as a digital partner to more than 2,000 companies, helping them get online and grow.

Today I spend most of my time training and facilitating. My focus is intermediate-level AI: helping professionals who already use ChatGPT go further, by automating their work and building their own tools through vibe coding. I want every professional to feel confident with AI, not scared of it.

Outside class, you'll find me on stage. Toastmasters taught me that anyone can learn to speak well, and I love helping others find their voice.

AI Trainer

What AI training does Ricky Soo offer?

Ricky focuses on intermediate-level AI training through AICoach.my, for professionals who already use tools like ChatGPT and want to go further. The two main topics are AI automation, using Claude and Codex to handle repetitive work for you, and vibe coding, where you build your own apps and tools by describing them to AI. Training is hands-on and project-based, and runs as live classes, self-paced programs or in-house corporate training.

What is vibe coding?

Vibe coding means building software by describing what you want in plain language and letting AI write the code. You guide the AI, test the result and ask for changes, so you can create simple apps, websites and tools without being a programmer.

What is AI automation?

AI automation connects AI to the apps you already use, so routine tasks run on their own. Examples include sorting enquiries, drafting replies, updating spreadsheets and sending reports, with no manual copying and pasting.

Is the AI training HRD Corp claimable?

Yes. Ricky is an HRD Corp Accredited Trainer, and AICoach.my corporate training and public programs are HRD Corp claimable for eligible Malaysian employers.

Digital Partner

What does a digital partner do for my business?

A digital partner looks after the online side of your business so you can focus on running it. Through BizPartner.my, Ricky helps small businesses with domain names, business email, web hosting, websites and AI chatbots, with a real person to help you in English, Malay or Chinese. There is no lock-in, and you own everything.

Can Ricky build a website for my business?

Yes. BizPartner.my builds mobile-friendly, lead-generating websites for small businesses, with enquiry forms, WhatsApp buttons and basic SEO so customers can find and contact you. Most websites are ready in 1 to 3 weeks.

Can Ricky add an AI chatbot to my business?

Yes. BizPartner.my sets up AI chatbots for your website and AI assistants for WhatsApp that answer common questions at any time, so you miss fewer enquiries. A real person still confirms prices, policies and payments.

Speaker & Mentor

Can Ricky mentor me in public speaking?

A good place to start is Short & Sweet Toastmasters Club (ShortSweetTM.com), where members get one-on-one mentoring, practice sessions on request and helpful feedback on every speech.

Where can I practise public speaking?

Join Short & Sweet Toastmasters Club (ShortSweetTM.com), a President's Distinguished Club. It meets on the fourth Sunday of every month, 2 to 4 PM, in Damansara Damai, Petaling Jaya and on Zoom. Beginners are welcome and your first visit is free.
