SafetyDetectives recently had the opportunity to speak with Hoan Tran, the visionary founder and CEO behind 1MIN AI. With a background in engineering and lessons learned from a previous startup venture, Tran’s entrepreneurial journey reflects resilience and adaptability. Driven by a passion for creating value through technology, Tran launched 1MIN AI—a platform that combines multiple AI capabilities into a single tool designed to streamline workflows for businesses. In this interview, Tran discusses his inspiration, the platform’s unique features, and the evolving role of AI in creative industries, offering valuable insights into the future of AI-powered business solutions.
Can you tell us about your background and what inspired you to create 1MIN AI?
With an engineering background from a developing country, I am passionate about creating useful products that can bring value to people worldwide. The timing is crucial, as external factors will significantly impact the opportunities we have. I learned from the experience of a failed travel startup in 2020, and now the evolution of AI has reignited my entrepreneurial spirit.
Can you discuss the unique features of 1MIN AI that set it apart from other AI platforms?
1minAI is an all-in-one AI tool for text, image, audio, and video. We help businesses optimize costs and streamline their workflow by offering a single platform that can serve multiple purposes.
What are some of the most popular use cases for 1MIN AI, and how are your users benefiting from the platform?
1minAI’s most popular use cases allow small and medium business owners to easily adapt AI to their teams. We offer many tools with various use cases on one platform to ensure that everyone in the organization can use them for their work.
How do you see the role of AI evolving in creative industries like design, writing, and media?
In the past, humans had to perform a lot of tedious tasks and put significant effort into creating assets like design, content, and media. Today, with the assistance of AI, these processes have become faster and more efficient. It’s like having a vehicle that transports you to your destination more quickly instead of walking step-by-step. As a result, people have more time to focus on creating greater value.
1MIN AI integrates various AI models like OpenAI, StabilityAI, and Google AI. How do you decide which models to incorporate into your platform?
End users care about value, so we prioritize customer success and flexibility. Striving to offer them the widest range of available options, they can choose from various models by different renowned brands without any limitations. Our duty is to serve what we can, while customers choose what they want.
What trends in AI technology do you believe will have the most significant impact on businesses in the next five years?
From day one, technology has continued to evolve, and the concept of all-in-one tools has become increasingly popular. By applying AI, businesses can save time and increase productivity without the need for complex setup and management. Therefore, starting with an all-in-one tool that can accommodate various use cases for different roles within a company would be a highly beneficial decision. Utilizing AI for chat and the processing of all types of assets, such as documents, images, audio, and video, can significantly reduce human effort and positively impact the way businesses operate.
