You've heard of AI assistants. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini. You type questions, they type answers. Useful, but limited.
A managed AI agent is different. It's a private AI system running on your own hardware, configured specifically for your business, connected to your email, calendar, and tools, and managed by a dedicated team. You don't type questions — you give it work.
"Managed" means:
- We deploy it on your Mac Mini
- We configure it for your business (personality, brand voice, permissions)
- We connect it to your email, calendar, WhatsApp, Notion, or whatever you use
- We update it, fix issues, and optimise it over time
- You just use it
How It Works
Step 1: We talk (45 minutes)
Free consultation. We map your workflow, identify the highest-value use cases, and recommend a setup.
Step 2: We deploy (1-2 weeks)
Mac Mini in your office. Agent configured with your brand voice, connected to your tools, security hardened. You get a Telegram bot that's your direct line to the agent.
Step 3: You use it (ongoing)
Send voice notes, text, images. The agent triages your email, manages your calendar, drafts documents, follows up with clients, and briefs you every morning.
Step 4: We manage it (ongoing)
Updates, tuning, troubleshooting — all handled remotely. Monthly check-in to review usage and optimise. You never touch a config file.

| Operator workflow | Scoped quote | Solo professionals, founders, small teams |

Why Not Just Use ChatGPT?

Government Funding
Funding may be relevant for some Hong Kong SMEs, but eligibility, eligible costs, reimbursement timing, and current official rules must be checked before relying on it.
The SME Digital Transformation Programme (enhanced round launching H2 2026) will also support domestic AI deployment.
