A human-reviewed AI-assisted system for companies handling repeated international buyer questions, complex product information and inconsistent enquiry routing.

Designed outcomeInternational enquiries receive more consistent first-line support while suitable opportunities reach the right person with useful commercial context.

The initial request

The company wants an AI chatbot or buyer assistant for overseas customers.

The wider commercial issue

Product knowledge, approved wording, exception handling, qualification and human ownership need to be organised before an AI-assisted channel can be reliable.

A strong commercial fit

Designed for an active Hong Kong enterprise with a genuine overseas market objective.

Covered overseas markets where multilingual buyer response supports a genuine expansion objective.

Exporters receiving repeated technical or product questions

Companies with multilingual product and service information

Trading, machinery, engineering and specialist B2B teams

Businesses able to appoint knowledge, risk and sales owners

BUD areas to assess

The commercial project comes first. Programme alignment is reviewed against the final scope.

These categories are orientation only. Applicant eligibility, designated measures, recognised costs, procurement and official assessment determine the actual route.

01

AI-enabled upgrading

Approved knowledge, assisted response, routing, review and measurable workflow improvement.

02

Market development

Multilingual buyer support connected to a covered target-market objective.

03

Promoting sales

Buyer questions, product guidance, qualification and human sales handoff.

Project scope

Strategy, implementation and project records inside one commercial plan.

The final quotation separates professional work, third-party costs, client dependencies, approval points and measures that require programme-specific confirmation.

01

AI opportunity and risk review

Use cases, non-use cases, target markets, information quality, privacy and human ownership.

02

Approved knowledge system

Product, service, process, policy and company information organised for reliable retrieval.

03

Buyer assistant experience

Multilingual question flow, product guidance, enquiry capture and clear AI disclosure.

04

Human review and escalation

Confidence rules, exceptions, department routing and response ownership.

05

Lead and measurement layer

Qualification fields, source context, unresolved-question backlog and management views.

06

Testing and project records

Test cases, acceptance criteria, knowledge approvals and implementation documentation.

Simple cash-flow illustration

Illustrative HK$318,000 commercial project

The example uses the BUD matching structure of up to 25% of recognised expenditure. Programme ceilings, approved measures and ineligible costs can change the final position.

Example project costHK$318,000
Illustrative government shareHK$79,50025% before caps and official assessment
Illustrative enterprise shareHK$238,50075%, plus any ineligible and additional third-party costs

Easy BUD and General BUD have different application ceilings and documentation routes. The current official guide and approved budget always take priority.

Implementation sequence

Commercial decisions, client ownership and project records remain visible from the beginning.

The project can pause, reduce scope or move to a normal commercial route when the applicant, target market, cash plan or official programme fit is not ready.

01

Use-case review

Confirm the target market, repeated work, risk, expected users and operating objective.

02

Knowledge and review rules

Prepare the approved source set, ownership and escalation process.

03

Assistant build

Create the multilingual buyer experience, qualification and human handoff.

04

Quality testing

Test ambiguous questions, unsupported statements, privacy, language and escalation.

05

Measured launch

Release with management visibility, unresolved-question review and an improvement backlog.

Project records

A well-managed project is easier for the client to review and document.

  • Approved use-case document
  • Knowledge source and approval register
  • Test and exception records
  • Human escalation acceptance
  • Lead and measurement configuration
  • Final implementation index

Applicant responsibilities

The client remains the applicant, payer and decision owner.

  • Provide accurate product, policy and process information
  • Appoint knowledge, risk and sales owners
  • Approve AI disclosure, privacy and escalation rules
  • Maintain project cash flow and procurement records
  • Complete all funding declarations accurately

Outside the service scope

Official decisions and additional costs remain separate from the commercial delivery.

theSerkan provides project strategy and delivery. It is not appointed by the Government, Trade and Industry Department or HKPC.

  • Autonomous legal, medical, financial or safety-critical decisions
  • Guaranteed answer accuracy
  • Proprietary foundation-model training unless separately scoped
  • Unlimited knowledge, channels, languages or integrations
  • Funding application approval or reimbursement

Choose the next step

Prepare the knowledge and ownership before scaling the response.

Start with the Funding Fit Check when applicant, market or project readiness is uncertain.

What this could mean for the business

See the project as an investment in a better operating result.

International buyer questions are repeated, multilingual and difficult to route consistently.

Indicative project investment: HK$238,000–398,000
01What changes

Approved knowledge, AI-assisted response, qualification and human escalation become one export workflow.

02Modelled commercial impact
  • 25–60% less repeated response preparation
  • Faster multilingual first-line support
03How to think about the return

The project becomes attractive where repeated buyer-response work and export opportunity value are both high.

04After the first build

Managed AI Operations plus Market Expansion Partner

Continue monthly only when ownership, measurement and a useful improvement backlog justify it.

Discuss the continuation route

These ranges are commercial planning scenarios based on the stated workflow and reasonable operating conditions. Final impact depends on the company’s baseline, adoption, traffic or transaction volume, data quality and management discipline.
