Short answer
Yes. PSG covers AI tools that appear on the SMEs Go Digital pre-approved list — including GenAI customer-engagement chatbots, AI marketing and content generation, and AI accounting automation. Custom-built AI with no pre-approved vendor is not covered under PSG; that route is the Enterprise Development Grant (EDG) instead.
Key facts
- AI-enabled solutions carry an official tag on the portal
- Covered AI categories include chatbots, marketing content, and accounting automation
- Bespoke AI without a listed vendor → use EDG, not PSG
- Same 50% / S$30k-cap terms apply to AI solutions
IMDA has been raising the share of genuinely AI-enabled solutions in the catalogue, so the AI options under PSG are widening. Look for the AI-enabled tag on the portal listing.
The dividing line is pre-approval. If a vendor and solution are on the list, PSG can fund it at 50%. If you need something custom that no listed vendor offers, that capability build belongs under EDG, which funds bespoke Stage 2/3 work.
On framing: a funded AI tool should redesign a role, not delete it. It absorbs the repetitive workload so the person moves to higher-value work — workforce plus AI, not AI instead of workforce. That framing also makes the strongest grant case.
