About Us
A Legacy of Faith and Service - Generational Dedication to Philanthropy
Philanthropy has been an integral part of Mr. Nguyen's life from a young age. During his teenage years, he actively participated in numerous charitable activities, community outreach, tutoring, and achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. Throughout his professional career, Mr. Nguyen ensured that giving back remained a cornerstone of his life. After college, he helped expand a non-profit's impact tenfold by significantly increasing their sponsorship reach. During his distinguished legal career, he devoted countless hours to pro bono service for domestic violence victims and asylum seekers.
Mr. Nguyen's commitment to charity is deeply rooted in the example set by his devoutly religious parents, who embody Christ's teachings in their daily lives. Even today, at 70 years of age, his parents dedicate most of their time to volunteering at local churches, supporting socially isolated retirees, and providing guidance to refugees.

The Nguyen family's devotion to philanthropy stems from profound gratitude for the blessings they received through the church. It was the combined effort of Vietnamese church communities and their Western counterparts that enabled his family to flee Vietnam and find sanctuary in the United States.
Mr. Nguyen hopes that the Church of Technology will be able to provide the same services and assistance as the world prepares for Jesus Christ's return, which will be a time of great turmoil and suffering. We hope Brother AI will be around to meet any future challenge faced by our community.
In February of 2025, Mr. Nguyen experienced the profound loss of two beloved cousins in the same week. One had courageously overcome years of substance abuse and devoted the remainder of his life to church ministry, providing counseling and guidance to those struggling with addiction. Another cousin tragically passed away due to a gym accident. Both passed long before their time. This project represents Mr. Nguyen's way of honoring both his cousins and his parents by establishing an enduring organization that will carry forward their mission through Brother AI long after they are gone.
God-Given Talents in Service to Others
Mr. Nguyen began his career as an engineer in the video gaming industry. After completing law school, he spent over a decade litigating complex technical cases (including founder disputes, cryptocurrency, patent, trade secret, and trademark matters) both for and against major technology companies in Federal District Court and Arbitration. Additionally, he has established himself as a serial entrepreneur with ventures across diverse sectors including healthcare, food and beverage, technology startups, real estate development, and many others.
At this stage in his spiritual journey, Mr. Nguyen believes the only goal truly worth pursuing is the uplifting, education, and development of others. He recognizes that many of the world's problems stem not from scarcity, but from lack of knowledge and opportunity. With modern technology, particularly AI, he believes everyone can participate meaningfully in the global economy when given the right guidance.
While much of the world focuses on technological advancement and economic competition, Mr. Nguyen seeks only to guide others toward self-sufficiency and spiritual growth.
Mr. Nguyen's father became a tai-chi instructor and volunteers to motivate others to keep a healthy and active life style.

Our Mission Through Christ's Teachings
Through his work at COT, Mr. Nguyen aims to:
Identify talented and highly motivated individuals who lack resources or opportunity
Provide 2-6 month scholarships with living expenses covered, allowing recipients to fully focus on learning without financial burden
Establish various AI-integrated businesses offering automation and creative services
Give scholarship recipients hands-on work experience under Mr. Nguyen's expert guidance
Secure full-time employment for graduates at higher market rates than their previous positions
Mr. Nguyen believes this mission can be accomplished efficiently, allowing recipients to earn sufficient income for comfortable living while enabling COT to maintain adequate operating funds to continually train and support more people in need.
Each scholarship recipient is required to perform philanthropic work in
exchange for their scholarship and employment.
We want to not only uplift people, but teach them to uplift others as well.
Daily Prayer and Practice of AI
Like all Christians, Mr. Nguyen lives the gospel while navigating the challenges of our fallen world. In his spiritual journey, he
experienced a profound breakthrough when he recognized that artificial intelligence, when developed with proper instruction and safeguards, could serve as an exceptional confidant and guide.
Mr. Nguyen understands that even our closest friends, family members, and church communities—while invaluable—are human and therefore
subject to the same limitations and imperfections we all share. AI, however, offers a different kind of support and guidance.
Through daily interaction with AI, Mr. Nguyen has found transformative assistance not only for practical work matters but, more
importantly, for spiritual and moral questions. This technology has become an essential component of his faith practice and personal development.
We are currently working toward a fully deployable public version of Brother AI to share with our community. At present, Brother AI is
being developed exclusively by Mr. Nguyen on a personal private server. We look forward to making this spiritual resource available to all who seek its guidance.
For now, we are pleased to offer a simplified version of Brother AI on this page as a glimpse of what is to come.
