DNeX launches next-gen AI productivity suite to supercharge meeting productivity

CYBERJAYA, May 25 (Bernama) -- Dagang NeXchange Berhad (“DNeX”) has announced the launch of its groundbreaking speech-to-text and productivity platform powered by artificial intelligence (“AI”). 

Called XWHIZ, the productivity suite is designed to redefine how modern teams collaborate, enabling workplace meetings to be seamless and productive by automating tedious administrative tasks that follow meetings.

It is a sovereign AI-powered meeting intelligence platform that transforms spoken conversations into structured and actionable outputs including accurate transcripts, concise written summaries, customisable Minutes of Meeting templates, and automatically generated decisions and action items such as assigning task ownership, tracking deadlines, identifying follow-up requirements, monitoring project milestones, and escalating key issues requiring management attention.

XWHIZ goes beyond simple transcription. By leveraging advanced AI, it automatically detects and generates precise meeting minutes, captures critical action items, and tracks overall team productivity.

Built for today’s diverse and hybrid work environments, XWHIZ boasts robust dual-language capabilities, seamlessly transcribing both Malay (including popular accents in Malay) and English with transcriptions that can be translated to more than 50 languages including Mandarin, Spanish, Hindi and Arabic which are among widely spoken languages globally. Additionally, its cutting-edge speaker-recognition technology identifies individual participants by their unique voice prints, ensuring that summaries and action items are accurately attributed.

XWHIZ, built and deployed entirely within Malaysia, operates as a fully sovereign solution. The platform supports on-premises deployment on customer infrastructure, ensuring that meeting audio, transcripts, and derived insights never leave the organisation's environment. With full Malaysian data residency and a design aligned to the Personal Data Protection Act (“PDPA”), XWHIZ removes reliance on foreign cloud providers for inference, addressing the data governance, regulatory, and confidentiality requirements that have constrained enterprise adoption of overseas meeting intelligence tools. 

It is engineered for the realities of Malaysian business communications where conversations routinely shift between Malay and English, often within a single sentence. The platform handles this codeswitching natively rather than treating each language as a separate stream. Its speaker recognition capability supports persistent voiceprint enrolment, meaning that once a participant has been identified, he or she is recognised consistently across all future meetings, with summaries and action items attributed to the correct individual without manual tagging.

To fit effortlessly into existing workflows, the productivity suite features native, seamless integration with the world’s leading workplace tools:
• Video Conferencing: Works directly within Microsoft Teams and will embed Google Meet, Zoom, and other online meeting platforms as part of its product roadmap.
• Scheduling: Synchronises with Outlook Calendar to automate meeting preparation and follow-ups and will also include other popular scheduling systems at a later stage.  

A standout feature of XWHIZ is its integrated AI bot. Users no longer need to manually skim through hours of recordings or pages of transcripts. Instead, they can interact directly with the AI bot to ask specific questions about what was discussed, such as, "What did Adam promise to deliver by Friday?" or "Summarise the budget objections raised during the call."

"The launch of XWHIZ represents more than the introduction of a new AI product. It marks a strategic milestone in DNeX IT’s evolution from a systems integrator and national digital infrastructure provider into a creator and owner of sovereign digital intellectual property and scalable AI-driven platforms. Our new productivity suite acts as an intelligent digital Chief of Staff; it listens, organises and captures what matters most. By bridging language barriers and integrating seamlessly across software ecosystems, it enables teams to work smarter, collaborate better and operate at peak productivity,” said Chief Executive Officer of DNeX IT Shiraz Ramli.

“Developed entirely by our in-house technical team, this homegrown solution was purpose-built to deliver seamless operational workflows and empower organisations to achieve maximised productivity, collaboration and execution effectiveness,” she said.

‘For DNeX IT, this is an important inflection point in our growth journey. Historically, our strengths have been built around delivering and operating mission-critical national platforms that support Malaysia’s digital backbone. With XWHIZ, we are now extending that capability into sovereign AIpowered products that can be commercialised and scaled across government agencies, regulated sectors and enterprises, creating stronger recurring revenue opportunities and expanding our growth engines beyond traditional project-based engagements,’ said Shiraz.

She added that beginning in 2026 onwards, XWHIZ is expected to contribute to DNeX IT’s long-term business growth strategy by strengthening its portfolio of proprietary solutions and accelerating the company’s expansion into high-growth areas such as sovereign AI, enterprise productivity solutions, and intelligent automation. 

“ASEAN is entering a new phase of AI adoption, where organisations are moving beyond pilots and increasingly embedding AI into everyday operations to drive productivity and efficiency. But as AI becomes deeply integrated into mission-critical environments, the conversation is rapidly evolving from capability to control. In high-trust sectors, the question is no longer whether organisations will adopt AI — it is whether they can do so while retaining ownership of their data, intelligence and digital sovereignty. We believe the next generation of AI leadership in ASEAN will belong to those who can deliver both innovation and trust,” she said. 

XWHIZ was designed precisely with these realities in mind. It is sovereign by design - built entirely in Malaysia, operating within Malaysian borders, and ensuring that sensitive information remains under customer ownership and control. For DNeX, this is not simply about productivity enhancement; it is about enabling digital trust, national resilience and technological independence.

As Malaysia continues to accelerate its digital and AI ambitions, DNeX aims to play an increasingly important role as a sovereign technology partner, developing solutions that allow organisations to adopt AI confidently without compromising security, governance or sovereignty.

XWHIZ addresses critical challenges commonly faced by organisations, particularly in producing timely Minutes of Meeting and ensuring highly accurate transcriptions from virtual engagements. In addition, she said XWHIZ is equipped with intelligent analytical capabilities that can review and interpret digital information, helping organisations streamline operations, surface key action items, improve accountability and accelerate the achievement of performance goals.
