For expats in Việt Nam

Get anything done in Vietnam — without speaking Vietnamese.

ZaloDesk turns your Zalo into a bilingual assistant: every chat translated both ways, and a voice AI that makes real phone calls in fluent Vietnamese on your behalf — landlord, plumber, gas refill, visa agent — then tells you exactly what was said.

You type, in English
"Call my landlord — the AC in my room leaks at night."

Simulated conversation — exactly how the real call flow works

The real problem

You're living Vietnam at 30%.

Vietnam runs on Zalo — your building manager, the gas shop, the shipper, the visa agent. If you can't operate there, every small task becomes a project.

🥵

Small problems stay broken

The AC has leaked for three days — because explaining "it drips, but only at night" is a 40-minute pantomime.

💸

You overpay, quietly

The foreigner price finds you everywhere — because negotiating through gestures and Google Translate has a ceiling.

🙏

Favors run out

Your one bilingual friend has handled four landlord disputes, two bank visits and a dog vaccination. You can feel the tab running.

It's not a language barrier. It's a life barrier.

Texting, solved

You'll never screenshot-translate again.

They write Vietnamese → you read English

Chị chủ nhà: "Mai 9h sáng thợ qua sửa điều hòa nhé em"

"The repairman will come by at 9am tomorrow to fix the AC."

Translated the instant it arrives
You write English → they read Vietnamese

"9am works. The door code is 1234."

→ "Dạ 9h sáng mai được ạ. Mã cửa là 1234 chị nhé."

You approve every message before it sends
Phone calls, solved

One week of your life, handled.

You type one English sentence. The AI makes the call, speaks polite Vietnamese, and reports back.

A bilingual assistant~$400/mo

Wonderful. Also forty times the price, and asleep at 11pm when the COD shipper calls.

"Just learn Vietnamese"1,100 hours

The US Foreign Service puts Vietnamese in its hardest tier for English speakers. Great goal — but the AC leaks tonight.

Four landlord disputes, two bank visits, one dog vaccination. Buy them dinner instead.

Fair questions

Before you ask…

No — that's the point. Incoming messages are translated to English, your English replies are translated to Vietnamese (with a preview before they send), and the AI voice agent handles phone calls in Vietnamese on your behalf.

Yes. You sign in to the Zalo account you already have by scanning a QR code — your contacts, groups and chat history come with you, and Zalo on your phone keeps working exactly as before.

Pick a contact, type the task in English ("Call my landlord and tell him the AC is broken"). The AI places a real Zalo voice call and speaks natural, polite Vietnamese — saying who it's calling for and what's needed. You watch a live English transcript, and get a summary when it hangs up.

A monthly bundle of credits covering two-way message translation and AI voice calls — sized for normal daily life. Plus every ZaloDesk feature. Heavy month? Top up anytime. Cancel anytime from inside the app.

Your chats, contacts and files are stored locally on your computer — not on our servers. Message text goes to the translation service only to produce your translation; call audio and transcripts exist to complete your task, period. Nothing is sold.

Both. Native builds for Windows 10/11, macOS Apple Silicon and macOS Intel. Download free, try it on your own chats, subscribe inside the app when it earns it.

Stop living in Vietnam at 30%.

Your landlord is one message away — in your language. The download is free; the first "ồ, được đó!" is priceless.
