Who we are

Builders who know Hong Kong.

Aideate Tech HK brings together engineers, designers and domain experts. Our name joins AI and ideate: we use technology to turn good ideas into things people rely on.

We've put AI to work on very different kinds of problems, and we start where the problem is. Our product, Penpal, came from classrooms; the problems we take on can come from any sector.

What we do

From idea to product, under one roof.

We take on problems where good software and carefully applied AI can make a real difference, whatever the sector.

Our product

Penpal puts this approach to work in education.

Education
Penpal.

Penpal: a learning coach for Hong Kong classrooms.

Penpal lightens teachers' marking load and gives every student timely, quality feedback in Writing, Reading, Listening and Speaking, so students learn by improving their own work. Built for English and Chinese, with support for other HKDSE languages too.

  • In use in Hong Kong primary and secondary schools
  • Teachers keep the final say on every mark released
  • Privacy-first: AI never sees personal data

How we work

Principles that travel to every problem.

Start with the problem

We spend time with the people who have the problem before we write a line of code.

AI that assists people

Our AI supports human judgement rather than replacing it. People stay in charge.

Privacy by design

We collect only what a solution needs, and protect it throughout.
