Proto and Thrive partner to bring AI agent workflows to Indonesian businesses

Proto and Thrive have agreed a partnership to bring AI agent workflows to businesses across Indonesia.

Thrive is one of Indonesia’s established IT solutions providers, operating since 2007 across software, hardware and internet services, with a network spanning 20 major cities in the country. It is an official distributor of licensed software and IT hardware and holds partnerships with major global IT vendors.

Indonesia as a new market for Proto

Proto’s presence in Southeast Asia has so far centred on the Philippines. This partnership extends that footprint into Indonesia through an established local distributor rather than a direct market entry, giving Thrive’s existing client base access to AI agent capability without needing to evaluate a new, unfamiliar vendor.

Eddy Yansen, Director of Thrive, said: “We’ve spent almost two decades building relationships with businesses across Indonesia. This partnership means we can now offer them AI agent infrastructure alongside the software and hardware solutions they already come to us for.”

Where the AI agents will be deployed

The partnership enables Thrive to bring Proto’s AI agent platform to its existing client base, covering complaints management, customer engagement and digital service delivery – capabilities Indonesian businesses can now access through a technology partner many of them already work with.

Curtis Matlock, CEO of Proto, said: “Indonesia’s digital economy is growing quickly, and Thrive has the distribution network and client relationships that take years to build. This partnership gives us a faster, more grounded route to serve Indonesian businesses with the AI agent infrastructure they need.”
