We've worked with enough operators in Quarry Bay to know that the brief that arrives in our inbox is rarely the brief that ends up shipped. The first thing we do on any AI HR assistant project is sit with your team for a day before we propose anything.
Built and supported here - the way a Quarry Bay business would actually use it.
Our goal is to give Quarry Bay businesses a three-day weekend, so people can spend more time with their families and the people they love :)

What you actually get
Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. This is what is in the box.
- A working pilot, in productionNot a prototype on someone's laptop. The first slice of AI HR assistant runs against real work within weeks.
- Your data stays yoursIt runs on your accounts and your tools. If we part ways you keep the system and everything in it.
- The workflow mapped before codeWe write down what good looks like for Quarry Bay businesses first, so nobody is guessing at handover.
- Support after it landsThe people who built it stay reachable when the business changes shape around it.
How AI HR assistant compares
The two things most businesses do instead, and where each one runs out.
| Hiring for it | An off-the-shelf tool | Kiwi Dynamics | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fit to how you work | Fits perfectly, costs a salary | You bend your process to suit the tool | Built around the workflow you already run |
| Time to something useful | Immediate, and permanent | Quick to switch on, slow to make fit | A working slice in weeks, then hardened |
| Who owns the data | You do | The vendor, on the vendor's terms | You do, in your own accounts |
| When it breaks | That person sorts it, if they are in | A support queue and a ticket number | The people who built it |
| What it costs | A salary, every year, forever | Per seat, forever, used or not | Scoped and quoted up front |
Why Quarry Bay businesses are a fit for this.
- Quarry Bay has become Hong Kong Island's secondary business hub, home to regional offices priced out of Central - AI here means Central-grade capability at a lower cost base.
- A dense cluster of regional headquarters and professional services firms that moved east for the rent, alongside a growing media and publishing sector. Businesses here want the same AI standard as Central without the Central price tag.
We work with teams across Quarry Bay: Tai Koo · North Point · Fortress Hill · Sai Wan Ho.
Talk to us about this →How we build AI HR assistant for a Quarry Bay team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Quarry Bay business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI HR and people ops.
Talk to usHow the work runs
- Find the one workflowWe look for the job costing Quarry Bay businesses the most hours or the most leads, and deliberately ignore the rest for now.
- Ship a working sliceA narrow version goes into production in weeks, against real work, so the value shows up before the build is finished.
- Prove it, then widenWe measure it against what the work cost before. If it does not pay for itself, we say so rather than scaling it.
- Harden and hand overLogging, fallbacks and a real handover, so it keeps running when we are not in the room.

FAQ
When does AI HR assistant actually pay back?
Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for a Quarry Bay - so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call - fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
Anyone else in this space using AI HR assistant?
Plenty. HR enquiries drop 65% in the first month - leaders get their week back. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" - it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI HR assistant can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Claude, Employment Hero API, BambooHR, Vercel but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
