Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) has launched AI.Smart, an affordable, one-stop artificial intelligence (AI) workspace that gives more Filipinos access to advanced AI tools.

Powered by Avtica, AI.Smart gives Smart and TNT subscribers access to multiple AI models through a single browser-based platform. These include AWS Nova, ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, and Thinking Machines.

AI.Smart automatically selects the appropriate AI model based on a user’s prompt. Subscribers can generate content and images, create documents and presentations, and analyze data in English, Filipino, or Taglish.

Smart says each subscriber’s workspace keeps uploaded files private. The platform does not use these files to train AI models or retain subscriber data. It also encrypts data and handles it in accordance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act.

Bringing AI to more Filipinos

“AI should be for everyone, not just for those who can afford premium AI services,” said Lloyd R. Manaloto, Smart’s First Vice President and OIC.

“With AI.Smart, we are making AI more inclusive by bringing powerful AI models and tools together in one affordable platform, giving more Filipinos the opportunity to use AI to learn, create, work smarter, and achieve more,” Manaloto added.

Smart and TNT subscribers can sign up for AI.Smart using their mobile numbers and verify their accounts via SMS.

The platform offers several credit packs to suit different needs. Access starts at PHP 49 for seven days. Subscribers who need more credits can opt for the PHP 499 plan, which remains valid for 30 days and allows up to 10 users to share a pool of credits.

Subscribers can purchase additional credits through AI.Smart. Payment options include prepaid load, postpaid billing, credit and debit cards, and select e-wallets.

Free AI.Smart access

As a launch offer, Smart and TNT subscribers who sign up for AI.Smart can get a chance to enjoy seven days of free access.

Smart and TNT subscribers can also use AI.Smart with Smart 5G for mobile activities such as video streaming, gaming, and real-time social media sharing.

Smart recently received recognition from global connectivity intelligence leader Ookla for delivering the Best Mobile Video Experience in the Philippines for the first half of 2026. The company earned a Video Score of 72.82, the highest among mobile operators in the country.

Power Mac Center has upgraded its SM Aura branch into an Apple Premium Partner (APP) store. The “APP” designation is the highest tier for reseller stores worldwide.

Originally opened in 2014, the redesigned store now houses its retail space, training center, and a service center in one.

The new space also puts more emphasis on learning. Free group demos will be held every Friday to Sunday. These will cover topics such as iPad creativity, or camera features, personalization, and Continuity for the latest iPhone series.

To celebrate the opening, customers can also score discounts on select Apple devices and accessories until September 27, 2026.

Deals include up to:

  • ₱PhP 36,000 off MacBook Pros
  • PhP 19,500 off iPads
  • PhP 3000 off Apple Watches; and
  • PhP 11,000 off iPhone models

There are also service discounts until September 25. Plus, new iPhones purchases here are also covered with 1Protect device protection.

ICYMI, it’s a partnership between PMC and Bolttech. It’s basically a new way to protect your precious new iPhones.

Your regular one-year warranty does not cover accidental drops and water damage. Purchasing this new device protection plan (good for one year) gives you an unlimited dose of that.

Parts are guaranteed original and is an official part of AppleCare Services.

This protection program also covers one-time unwarranted exchanges (or change of mind returns) from micro scratches to color options. It will even replace your iPhone (of the same model and configuration) if it was stolen once.

There’s also the 1 Infinite loyalty program. Members can earn points from purchases and redeem them for devices, accessories, services, and training.

The Power Mac Center SM Aura APP store is located on Level 2 and is open daily from 10AM to 10PM.
