Aether AI has formed a partnership with the Consulate General of Indonesia in New York (KJRI NYC) for the integration of AI solutions into consular operations. This landmark collaboration was initiated during a LOI signing ceremony on May 12th , between Aether AI’s co-founders Oliver Tedja, Viriyananda Susilo Tjiong, and the Consulate General, Pak Winanto Adi, along with his senior staff.
This collaboration represents a forward-thinking step toward digital transformation in diplomatic institutions. By leveraging Aether AI’s research and development capabilities, the partnership aims to bring AI-driven tools into day-to-day consulate functions—enhancing communication, automating administrative workflows, and improving public service delivery.
“We’re honored to work alongside Pak Winanto Adi and the Indonesian Consulate in New York. This partnership reflects our shared vision to bring transformative, practical AI into the hands of public institutions,” said Oliver Tedja, Co-Founder of Aether AI.
Aether AI operates as a hybrid between a venture studio and a venture capital firm, investing in and developing artificial intelligence technologies that address real-world challenges. The company is built on a foundation of innovation, with a multidisciplinary team of engineers, researchers, and strategists focused on advancing the practical use of AI across industries.
With Indonesia positioning itself as a forward-thinking player on the global diplomatic and digital governance stage, the partnership with Aether AI signals the nation’s growing interest in leveraging AI not just for economic growth, but for enhanced civic service and international relations.
As the pilot project launches in New York, both Aether and the consulate aim to expand the partnership’s impact across other Indonesian diplomatic missions, potentially transforming how governments utilize AI to serve their people and engage with the world.
