SHEET 02 · SIGNATURE WORK

Enterprise GenAI, in production.

What it looks like to run enterprise GenAI as a program, not a project.

Framework100% of GenAI traffic · 100+ use cases

GenAI Service Layer

When every team needs LLMs, you need infrastructure that turns chaos into reliability. Multi-cloud, multi-vendor, model-agnostic, with built-in routing, caching, observability, cost governance, and policy enforcement across 100+ production use cases.

Framework16w → 2w

Agent Service Layer

Agents aren't a feature you ship once. They're a class of system that has to be built, evaluated, validated, and operated. The framework standardises every step. Cuts the full pipeline (development, evals, human validation, load testing, deployment) from 16 weeks to 2 weeks or less.

Product · Flagship85K queries/wk · 80%+ CSAT

Multi-agent customer chatbot

Customer-facing production AI handling 85K+ queries per week. CSAT lifted from ~50% to 80%+. A flagship example of what the Agent Service Layer can produce.

  • Multi-agent orchestration with specialised sub-agents
  • Parallel tool use and agentic delegation
  • Human-in-the-loop escalation for high-stakes flows
  • Persistent interaction + knowledge memory across turns
  • Multi-step transactional workflows
PartnershipsOpenAI · Anthropic · Google · AWS

Industry partnerships

Active engagement with industry-leading AI organizations: co-shaping enterprise GenAI roadmaps, evaluating frontier capabilities pre-release, and translating research into production.

EngagementCross-divisional reach

Internal engagements

Building enterprise-wide AI fluency through training, upskilling, coaching, and mentoring across peers, engineering teams, business users, and senior leadership including C-suite stakeholders.

AwardGold · Asian Design Awards 2024

AI-powered travel-planning experience

Travel planning combines GenAI search with smart flight recommendations, built on the GenAI Service Layer. The experience connects shared AI infrastructure to measurable improvements in customer satisfaction and engagement.

  • AI search: GenAI-powered search doubled customer satisfaction on the search experience.
  • Flight recommendations: the recommendation surface averages 2,000 queries a day, with click-through rising from 23.8% to 34.4% in three months.
  • Design recognition: the experience received Gold at the Asian Design Awards 2024.

SHEET 04 · HOW I THINK

How I think

Run GenAI as a program, not a project.

A one-off prompt is a feature.

Agents aren't a feature you ship once.

They're a class of system.

Prompts are technical debt.

Every prompt you write is a contract with a model version.

SHEET 05 · NOW

Currently working on.

The initiatives shaping the next chapter of enterprise GenAI at scale.

Building

Agentic systems at scale

Pushing the Agent Service Layer into more departments. New eval harness, new tool primitives, faster idea-to-prod cycles.

Shipping

Voice AI for internal ops

Native end-to-end streaming voice replacing legacy STT-text-TTS for internal staff workflows. Real-time, low-latency, prosody-aware.

Co-shaping

Frontier model partnerships

Pre-release evaluations and roadmap co-shaping with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and AWS.

Research & tooling

DocIQ + Tacit

DocIQ: hosted app deployed. Page-grounded document Q&A: lexical search, agent-directed exploration and visual inspection in a reusable retrieval engine. Tacit: local application. Scattered source material becomes useful organizational knowledge when people can trace, review and maintain it.

SHEET 06 · INPUTS

Reading & thinking.

A short list of what's shaping how I think this season.

Book

Co-Intelligence

Ethan Mollick on living and working with AI. The clearest framing of human + agent collaboration I've read.

Paper

Anthropic's “Building Effective Agents”

The architecture patterns that hold up in production. Routine reading for anyone shipping agents.

Tool

Claude Code & Codex

The current state of AI coding agents. Reshaping how software gets written, not just how it's typed.
