About Sentana Networks

What is Sentana Networks?

Sentana Networks is a Jakarta-based digital and AI transformation consultancy for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). We help SMEs fix how work gets done: mapping processes, automating the repetitive parts, and putting practical AI agents to work where they pay off.

Who is behind Sentana Networks?

Sentana Networks has resources who have been working with a total of more than 30 years in enterprise architecture, digital transformation and corporate IT management. The work includes customer lifecycle systems for a telco with over 30 million subscribers, national-scale system delivery with Indonesian regulators, and running corporate IT for a Jakarta property and retail group. Projects delivered were in Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.

What kind of companies do you work with?

Indonesian SMEs that have outgrown spreadsheets, WhatsApp threads and manual hand-offs, but don't have a full IT department to fix it. Clients' industries vary from small retail businesses to hospitality / property management services.

Where are you based? Do you work outside Jakarta?

We are based in Jakarta. Most work runs remotely, and we meet on-site in Greater Jakarta when a workshop or go-live needs it.

Services and how we work

What services do you offer?
  • Digital and AI transformation advisory: process assessment, digital roadmap, AI implementation planning.
  • Technology enablement and automation: workflow automation, low-code tools, AI agents, cloud migration planning.
  • Data insight management: cleaning your data and building management dashboards.
  • IT governance and risk: IT policies, compliance readiness (ISO 27001, NIST), vendor management.
  • Project management and delivery: project recovery, independent delivery assurance, PMO setup.
  • Digital capability building: executive sessions, workshops and coaching for your team.
How does an engagement usually start?
  1. A discovery call to understand the problem you want solved. The first 30 minutes are free.
  2. A short assessment of the process involved: who does what, where time and errors pile up.
  3. A written proposal with scope, timeline and price.
  4. Delivery in phases. For automation and AI work we start with a small pilot so you see results before committing further.
I'm not sure what I need. Can you still help?

Yes. Most SMEs come to us with a symptom (invoices go out late, leads get lost, staff answer the same questions all day) rather than a specification. The discovery call turns that symptom into a defined piece of work, or tells you honestly if technology isn't the fix.

Can you rescue an IT project that is off track?

Yes. We review where the project really stands, find the root causes (scope, vendor, governance or people), and give you a recovery plan with clear decisions. We can also stay on as independent delivery assurance until go-live.

Do you train our team?

Yes. We run awareness sessions for owners and managers, hands-on workshops for staff, and coaching during adoption so new tools actually get used after we leave.

AI agents and automation

What is an AI agent, in plain terms?

Software that reads incoming information (a customer message, an email, a document), decides the next step using your rules plus an AI model, and acts on it: answering a question, logging a lead, preparing a document. A person approves the steps that matter.

What AI agents do you build for SMEs?
  • Customer FAQ assistant: answers customer questions from your own documents (FAQ, price lists, policies) and hands the conversation to your staff when it can't answer. The assistant on this website is a working example.
  • Lead intake and qualification: captures enquiries from your website or chat, asks the qualifying questions your sales team would ask, and routes good leads to the right person.
  • Document processing and invoice automation: reads invoices and business documents, extracts the data, and cuts manual entry and typing errors.
Which tools and AI models do you use?

We choose per job rather than pushing one platform: workflow tools such as n8n, agent frameworks such as Hermes Agent, and leading AI models such as Claude and Gemini. You are not locked into a single vendor.

What do we need before starting an AI project?

Three things: the documents or data the agent will work from, one person in your team who owns the process, and agreement on what the agent may do alone versus what needs human approval.

Will AI replace my staff?

The goal is to take repetitive work off your staff, not to remove them. Agents handle the routine cases; your people handle exceptions, relationships and decisions.

Can the assistant work on WhatsApp?

WhatsApp is where most Indonesian customers talk to SMEs, so we can design assistants that can run on the WhatsApp Business Platform as well as on your website if you prefer.

Pricing and commercial terms

How much does it cost?

It depends on scope, so we price after the discovery call. Defined pieces of work (an assessment, a pilot, a workshop) get a fixed price. Ongoing support and advisory run on a monthly retainer.

Is the first consultation free?

Yes. The first discovery call is free and carries no obligation.

What ongoing costs come with an AI agent?

Usually three: AI model usage (charged per message by the AI provider), hosting or software subscriptions, and optional support from us. AI usage is often the smallest of the three: a website FAQ assistant handling around 1,000 conversations a month typically costs only a few US dollars in model fees. Every proposal lists these running costs up front.

Do we have to sign a long contract?

No. Pilots and assessments are one-off. Retainers run month to month after an initial period agreed in the proposal.

Data, privacy and security

How do you handle our company data?

We use your data only for the agreed work, limit access to the people doing it, and return or delete it when the engagement ends. We follow Indonesia's Personal Data Protection Law (UU PDP, Law No. 27 of 2022) and sign a non-disclosure agreement on request.

Is our data used to train AI models?

We build on the paid business versions of AI services, whose terms state that customer data is not used to train their models by default. Each proposal names the services involved so you can check their terms yourself.

Can an AI agent run inside our own systems?

Often, yes. Depending on the solution, components can run in your own cloud account or on your own servers, with only the AI model call going outside. We discuss the trade-offs in the assessment.

About this website assistant

What is this chat assistant?

An AI assistant built by Sentana Networks. It answers questions using this website's content and FAQ, and it is a live example of the customer FAQ assistant we build for clients.

Am I talking to a real person?

No, it's AI. To reach a person, use the WhatsApp button or the contact form and we will reply directly.

Which languages does it understand?

English and Bahasa Indonesia. Write in either and it replies in the same language.

Can it give me a quote or make a commitment?

No. It explains our services and how we work, but prices, timelines and agreements always come from us in writing.

What happens to what I type?

Your messages are sent to an AI provider to generate the reply and kept in a log for up to 30 days so we can improve the answers. Please don't share passwords, ID numbers or other sensitive details in the chat. Our Privacy Policy has the full details.
