Tianyu Xu
Creative AI educator and speaker in Singapore, Tianyu has trained thousands of professionals across five countries to bring their imagination to life with AI.

Based in Singapore. Tianyu trains people to work with AI effectively, unleash their creativity, and build the essential AI skills to survive and thrive in this new era.
Through TYAI Pte. Ltd., Tianyu trains organizations to upskill their workforce, with a focus on creativity and storytelling. When working with departments and teams, Tianyu focuses primarily on marketing and design use cases, because that's where he comes from. Before AI, Tianyu spent over a decade in digital marketing across research, analytics, solutions, and advertising sales, on the platform, agency, and brand side.
A generalist, not a specialist. And Tianyu has come to believe that generative AI especially empowers people whose experience spans industries and functions. Creativity is the last thing we should give away to AI. AI should amplify it, not replace it.
Creative AI isn't AI creativity. Creative AI is human creativity, amplified by AI. You stay the storyteller.
