Partner Network · RegisteredMember since 09 · 09 · 2026
01What you get from this membership
How this membership helps your project
01
A direct line to Google
If your project needs Google Cloud, Workspace or Gemini, we work directly with the Google team — registration, technical questions, documentation — instead of leaving you to figure it out alone.
02
Large projects with Google behind them
When we put a system into real operation on Google, we register the project with Google's account team. You get an extra line of support behind it.
03
Gemini knowledge from the source
We learn Google's tools from official sources, including Gemini Enterprise — you don't pay for a team that learns as it goes.
04
Partner-only offers
Some Google credits and offers are only open to partners. We apply for them and use them on your project when they fit.
02Understanding the program correctly
Google's four partner tiers, and and where MONA stands
MONA is here
Tier 01 / 04
Registered
The program's entry tier. We are at this step to begin the path.
Tier 02 / 04
Select
Requires completing due diligence with Google. Resell rights are a separate authorization that doesn't come automatically with the tier; we will apply for them after passing due diligence.
Tier 03 / 04
Premier
Requires much higher co-selling revenue and a full set of Professional certifications from Google Cloud.
Tier 04 / 04
Diamond
The highest tier. Requires much higher revenue and client numbers, reserved for strategic partners.
03Google in real work
What MONA uses Google for in client work
01
Content production with Gemini
Our content team uses Gemini every day to write and edit Vietnamese content. The model handles long context very well.
02
B-roll video with Veo
We use Veo (Google Flow) to produce b-roll for MONA's videos and for clients' content. Illustrative shots are ready in a few minutes instead of scheduling a shoot.
03
Connecting Workspace to Gấu Cười
The Gấu Cười AI agent is connected directly to Google Calendar, Drive and Meet. The bot automatically books demo meetings and sends schedules to clients.
04
Building apps with Maps and Cloud
We integrate Google Maps Platform into clients' apps and websites. We also use Google Cloud infrastructure when there are specific requirements.
04Real proof
The AI systems MONA has put into real operation
The partner application was approved on the strength of deployments running in production, with go-live dates and real users — not projects on paper. Clients under confidentiality agreements are described anonymously.
MONA's AI Agent team — each bear has a role: developer, UI/UX, SEO, customer care. This is how we really divide work in-house.
MONA in-house product
Gấu Cười — AI call center & chatbot
An AI assistant that serves MONA's own customers via the web, fanpage and phone. It serves about 4,000 users a month, reads a knowledge base of more than 1,000 entries and updates itself every 15 minutes.
A consulting operating system (Sales OS) that guides consultants to answer and follow up with students according to the script, for one of the largest international test prep centers in Vietnam.
An AI Agent that consults and closes orders for a large chain of vehicle equipment stores in Ho Chi Minh City — greeting customers, looking up products and keeping conversations going in place of staff during peak hours.
A set of AI Agents that helps standardize and review legal documents for an equipment group with 135 branches nationwide, cutting the time spent processing paperwork by hand.
Don't take our word for it, just try asking Gấu Cười
This AI Agent serves MONA's real customers every day on the web, fanpage and phone. Ask it anything about our services, pricing or process — then judge for yourself whether it really looks like it “runs for real”.
What stands behind this membership is not a nice-looking application but a depth of real implementation. MONA's depth started in a small room in 2016.
2016
Day one: one room, a few desks pushed together, some old computers. No titles at all.
Today
More than 14,000 projects delivered, 85% of clients staying on — and one more milestone on our technology path. See more in MONA's company profile.

06The question we hear most
Calling the Gemini or ChatGPT API yourself vs. hiring a team to build it — what's the difference
Calling the API is only a small piece. What makes an AI Agent actually work lies in everything around it. Here is a frank comparison, including the parts you can do yourself.
On the left is calling the API. On the right is all the work around it — the part that decides whether the AI can really run.
Work involved
Calling the ChatGPT API yourself
Hiring MONA to build it
Building the knowledge base
You gather the documents, split them up and reload them yourself every time something changes. Nobody removes outdated documents.
MONA builds a knowledge base around your business processes, with a scheduled auto-update. Gấu Cười refreshes its knowledge base every 15 minutes.
Checking answer quality
No checking layer. Whatever the AI says, the customer reads; if it's wrong, nobody knows until the customer complains.
A review layer before answers reach the customer, plus a dashboard tracking which answers are rated poorly so they can be fixed.
Fitting into existing processes
The API returns a block of text. Connecting it to your CRM, call center, inventory software or orders is up to you.
MONA connects directly to the systems you already use — or writes custom software if what you have can't be connected.
Responsibility when the AI gets it wrong
It's yours. The model provider's terms don't cover this.
It's MONA's, within the delivered scope. A real person picks up the phone when the system has problems.
Where the data lives
Depends on your configuration. It is very easy to send customer data outside without realizing it.
Cheap. Mostly token costs plus your own staff's time.
Noticeably higher — this is the build cost.
Cost from the second year
Usually climbs: the person who built it leaves, flows break when the API changes, and nobody dares to touch it.
Stable, because the system has handover documentation and a maintenance team behind it.
You can do it yourself — don't hire anyone
When a wrong AI answer costs nobody money
Only need a chatbot answering a few dozen repetitive questions on your fanpage? Your in-house team can build it in one afternoon with off-the-shelf tools. Hiring MONA then would be a waste of your money, and we wouldn't want to take on a job like that either.
Repetitive questions, fixed answers, no customer data involved
If it's wrong, you just fix the answer and no one is harmed
One person in-house can maintain it, no handover needed
This is when you need a team
When a wrong AI answer costs someone money
The real line isn't about whether the AI is hard or easy. It's about who takes responsibility when the system gets it wrong. At that point you need a party that signs off on the delivered scope, not a tool.
The AI has to read the business's real data
It has to connect to running processes: CRM, inventory, orders, call center
A wrong answer means a lost order, a lost customer, or legal trouble
Not sure which column your task falls into?
Tell us about the work you plan to hand over to AI. If it falls in the left column, we'll tell you straight to do it yourself — just as written above.
Google, OpenAI, open models — MONA not locked into one vendor
Type of work 01
Language & conversation
We choose Gemini for Vietnamese content at volume because of its long-context understanding. OpenAI is used most for general business tasks.
Type of work 02
Images & video
Still images are created 100% with OpenAI's systems. For video, Google's Veo is used to produce illustrative b-roll.
Type of work 03
Voice & real time
Real-time conversation is powered by GPT Realtime. If a client needs data that never leaves Vietnam, we run open models on our in-house server cluster.
Seven questions to ask any AI provider before you sign
We put these questions together from the exact spots where clients tend to get caught out. Take them to every provider — including MONA. Whoever answers them clearly is worth considering.
AI provider evaluation checklistTick each question when they answer it clearly
1
Show me a system that is running for real, with real users
Not a demo built just for the presentation. Ask for the go-live date and current number of users. Anyone can build a demo in an afternoon.
2
When the AI gives my customers a wrong answer, who is responsible?
This question filters fast. Providers who only call the API will give a roundabout answer, because the model provider's terms don't accept that responsibility.
3
Where does my data go, where is it stored, and who can read it?
Ask them to map out the data flow. Check it against Decree 13/2023. A vague answer here is a legal risk for you, not for them.
4
Who updates the knowledge base when my company changes its price list?
AI systems live on fresh data. Ask clearly whether it is updated manually or automatically, how often, and who does it after handover.
5
What does the second year cost?
Everyone has a nice price for the first year. Ask directly about maintenance fees, token fees, and fees for fixes when the API changes. This is where budgets tend to break.
6
If I stop working with you, what can I take with me?
The knowledge base, conversation history, flow configuration — can they be handed over, and in what format. If the answer is no, you are locked in.
7
Can I do this myself?
Ask it just like that. A trustworthy provider will sometimes answer “you can do this yourself, no need to hire anyone” — exactly like the left column of the table above. If a provider nods to every job and quotes for all of them, be careful.
09FAQ
Frequently asked questions
01What is the Google Cloud Partner Network?
It is Google Cloud's partner program, formerly called Partner Advantage. Members get access to resources and courses, and can register Google technology implementation projects.
02What does Registered mean?
Registered is the entry tier, the first of 4 tiers. At this tier, the company has been manually verified by Google but has not yet been granted a badge or resell rights.
03Is MONA certified by Google?
No. Google only verifies the company profile and legal entity so MONA can join the program. Please note this is not a quality certification or an award given by Google.
04Can you resell Google Workspace/Cloud?
Not yet. Reseller rights are a separate authorization from Google, independent of the partner tier. We will apply after passing the review for Select. For now MONA implements and integrates on Google's platform, and clients pay Google's service fees themselves.
05How is this different from the Google Partners (Ads) badge?
The Google Partners badge is for advertising (Google Ads) and is a completely separate program. MONA is working on that program but does not have the badge yet.
06What do clients gain?
When you want to build on the Google stack (Workspace, Gemini, Maps, Google Cloud), MONA has an official line to the Google team: registering projects, asking technical questions, using partner documentation and incentive programs. And we tell you honestly where Google does well and where another vendor is the better choice.
Want to put AI to real work in your business?
Tell MONA about the work you want AI to take off your hands. We will apply the seven questions above to your case — where you can do it yourself, we'll say so plainly; where you need a team that takes responsibility, we'll spell out the scope, timeline and cost, including the second year.
