AI and business automation in Singapore

Retrieval-augmented knowledge systems, AI agents and document intelligence — deployed where your data already lives, with every answer traceable to a source.

The problem

The blocker is rarely the model. It is trust

Staff already paste internal documents into public chat tools. Blocking that does not remove the risk — it moves it to a personal phone.

Two objections stop most enterprise AI projects, and neither is about accuracy in the abstract. The first: nobody can tell where an answer came from, so nobody will act on it for anything that matters. The second: nobody is confident the question did not leave the building.

Both are solvable, and solving them is most of the work. Retrieval-augmented generation grounds answers in your own documents and cites the passage used, so an error is visible and checkable rather than silent. Self-hosted or private-cloud deployment keeps the content inside your perimeter. Neither is a guarantee of correctness — which is why we design the workflow so a human stays accountable for consequential decisions.

Where we start: not with a model, but with the question of which decision in your business is currently made badly because nobody has the information in front of them. If there is no such decision, there is no AI project worth funding.

What we do

What we build

Practical systems rather than pilots that impress once and are never opened again.

Private RAG knowledge systems

An assistant that answers from your SOPs, policies and contracts, cites its source, and says nothing when it does not know.

AI agents & workflow automation

Multi-step processes — triage, routing, drafting, data entry — with defined boundaries and a human approval point where it matters.

Document intelligence

Extraction and classification from invoices, forms, contracts and scanned records, with confidence scoring and a review queue for the uncertain cases.

Predictive analytics

Demand forecasting, predictive maintenance and anomaly detection where you have enough history to make a model worth trusting.

Enterprise search

Semantic search across the file shares, wikis and ticket systems your people currently give up on.

Private deployment

On-premise, in your own cloud tenancy, or managed by us in Singapore, including self-hosted open-weight models for air-gapped sites.

Deliverables

What you actually receive

Everything below is yours to keep, and to take elsewhere if you ever decide to.

A use-case assessment that says plainly which ideas are worth funding
A working pilot on your own content within about three weeks
Citation enforcement, so every answer links to its source
Access controls inherited from your existing permissions
Query logs and an unanswered-question report to improve the corpus
Deployment documentation for your infrastructure team
Proof, not promises

We built this for ourselves first

The fastest way to judge whether we can build your system is to look at one we already run in production.

HeyKiko

HeyKiko is our own private RAG platform, and the assistant in the corner of this page is running on it — answering from our own content, with citations. It is the least abstract demo we can offer: try to catch it out.

Where AI actually pays for itself

The same questions, endlessly

Policy, process and product questions interrupting the three people who know the answers.

Knowledge locked in documents

Hundreds of PDFs nobody reads, containing answers people need weekly.

Data that cannot leave

Regulated or sensitive material that rules out public AI tools entirely.

Common questions

What clients ask first

Retrieval-augmented generation looks up relevant passages from your documents and answers using them, citing what it used. An agent goes further and takes actions across multiple steps — querying a system, drafting a response, updating a record. RAG answers questions; agents do work. Most organisations should get RAG right first.
No. Your documents are indexed for retrieval, not used to fine-tune a shared model. In an on-premise deployment the content never leaves your infrastructure at all.
Ground answers in retrieved passages and enforce citation, so unsupported responses are suppressed rather than returned. That is a large improvement, not a guarantee — which is why we keep a human accountable for decisions with consequences.
Yes. Self-hosted open-weight models support air-gapped and highly sensitive deployments. There is a capability trade-off against the frontier hosted models and we will be straight with you about it.
About three weeks for a pilot: one to ingest and tune a defined set of documents, one for a small group to use it in anger, one to act on what that reveals.
It can, if personal data is in the corpus. Access controls, retention and purpose limitation all need thinking through — which is part of the engagement, and why our data protection practice sits alongside this one.
