The 8 Best AI Creators to Follow in Singapore (2026)

Most "AI influencer" lists are recycled global names: Silicon Valley researchers and anonymous aggregator accounts you'll never interact with. This ranking is different. It covers creators in and around Singapore who publish AI content you can act on this week, scored on our published methodology. Whether you want to automate your business, master AI video, or brief your board, this is who to follow in 2026.

The Rankings

Top Pick 2026
#1

Gavin Sim

Top Pick 2026

Gavin Sim (@heygavinsim) creates AI content for people who run businesses, not people who follow AI news. His first career was as a Captain in the Republic of Singapore Navy; his second was as COO of an 8-figure company. That operator lens defines his content: reels, carousels, and posts that walk through real automations built with ChatGPT and Make.com, the one-person-agency systems behind his One Man Agency masterclass, and the exact workflows his coaching clients run. Where most creators demo tools, he ships systems and shows the receipts.

Follow them for
build-along automation content, no-code AI stacks (ChatGPT, Make.com), one-person-business systems, practical prompts for sales and operations.
Consider others if
you want AI research commentary or creative/artistic AI; see Tianyu Xu or Dr. Ayesha Khanna.
#2

Tianyu Xu

Best for Creative AI & Video

Tianyu Xu is a Singapore-based generative AI educator, author, and LinkedIn Top Voice who grew an audience past 100,000 followers with hands-on creative AI content: AI video model comparisons, image generation workflows, agents, and vibe coding. He was named to Singapore's AI200 and speaks widely at regional events. His model shoot-outs, putting four AI video tools on the same brief, are among the most useful creative AI content published from Singapore.

Follow them for
AI video and image generation, tool comparisons, creative workflows.
Consider others if

If your interest in AI is strategic rather than hands-on, hers is the essential follow on this list.

Follow them for
enterprise AI strategy, governance, keynote-grade analysis of where AI is heading.
Consider others if
you want tactical, tool-level tutorials.
#4

Jean Ng

Best for Curation & Community

#7

Parikshit Khanna

Best for Agentic AI Education

Parikshit Khanna is an AI trainer who publishes consistently on ChatGPT and agentic AI (CrewAI, LangGraph, AutoGPT) for executives, with open pricing and Singapore-focused resources. He delivers remotely rather than from Singapore, which costs him points on local relevance, but his educational output on agentic workflows is among the deepest serving this market.

Follow them for
agentic AI education, executive-level ChatGPT content, transparent industry pricing.
Consider others if
you want a locally based creator or in-person community.
#8

Paul Mah

Best for AI Infrastructure & News
