TAIPEI · SERVING TEAMS WORLDWIDE · AI-NATIVE
A small, senior, AI-native team based in Taipei. We build and ship production AI for companies worldwide in weeks, not quarters.
WHY AI STALLS
The demo impresses the room, then sits in a notebook for six months. Nobody owns the path to production.
Big agencies hand off strategy decks and roadmaps, then leave. What you needed was working software in production.
Hiring a senior AI engineer takes six months or more, if the search works at all. The market moves faster than your open req.
SERVICES
Every engagement is senior-led, async-first, and scoped to ship.

WHY FDE TAIWAN
Our engineers run agentic AI workflows all day, the same systems we build for clients. That is why a small senior team can ship what larger teams quote quarters for. No juniors, no handoffs, no coordination tax.
THE AI POWER TEAM · SENIOR SPECIALISTS
Every name on the AI Power Team is a senior specialist with an independent track record; several run practices of their own. For each engagement, FDE Taiwan fields the exact combination the work requires.
Group Leader · Founder & CEO, FDE Taiwan
Founder and CEO of FDE Taiwan, and founder of ChanShuo Life, a five-property hospitality group he runs on AI agents: one marketer plus AI serves 100K+ guests a year and manages 1,200+ influencer collaborations. His latest product, Art of the Clone, builds a lifelike AI double from a person's posts, photos, videos, and writing style, then runs their personal brand autonomously in English and Traditional Chinese: posting to Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and LinkedIn, maintaining a blog, and replying to comments and DMs around the clock in their voice. He bridges business operations and AI deployment.

COMBINED TRACK RECORD · THE AI POWER TEAM
Every case here was shipped by a team member within their own company or practice, before and alongside FDE Taiwan. Real systems, in production, with the numbers as they happened.
A five-property hospitality group spanning glamping sites and hotels needed marketing and guest communications at a scale its team could not staff. The entire operation now runs on one marketer working with a fleet of AI agents.
An online course brand ran its acquisition funnel with a five-person team. AI agents took over the funnel end to end, cutting staffing to one person and generating NT$12M, roughly US$380K, in revenue.
Keeping a personal brand active on every platform is a full-time job most professionals cannot sustain. Art of the Clone builds a lifelike digital double from a person's existing posts, photos, videos, and writing style, then keeps the brand running in their voice.
A rental and property-management company was locked into a legacy system it could no longer extend. The team rebuilt it from the ground up, shipped in two months, and it now runs daily operations in production.
A recommendation product needed answers grounded in more than one retrieval source. It shipped as a five-agent architecture in which a router dispatches each query to the right specialist.
Supplement recommendations are usually made without checking the evidence. A LINE official-account chatbot now validates the science before it recommends, and it raised recommendation accuracy by 30 percent.
A manufacturer ran CRM and customer operations without a unified digital system. The team moved both onto one platform, now saving the company US$25K+ (NT$800K+) a year.
A beauty business needed booking to work identically on every channel its customers use. One platform now spans a native app, LINE, and the web.
Sellers were running entire group-buy businesses out of LINE chat threads. An ERP now turns one photo message into a listing, an order link, and tracked orders.
Land and property reports meant assembling cadastral records and price data from separate sources. An app now generates the full report, candidate parcels and comparables included.
Selling courses online usually means stitching together tools for content, students, and payments. A complete course-commerce platform now runs the whole business from a single admin.
A chat product had to behave identically on PC web, mobile web, and Electron desktop. The team shipped the frontend architecture that keeps every surface in sync.
Every outcome on this page was achieved by a team member within their own company or practice. Together they form the combined track record of the people behind FDE Taiwan, not a portfolio of FDE Taiwan client engagements.
COMMON QUESTIONS · STRAIGHT ANSWERS
Taipei's hours overlap conveniently with both the US afternoon/evening and Europe's morning, and we schedule live sessions in whichever window works for you. Everything else runs async-first and docs-first, wherever you're based. You see a live demo of working software every week.
You do. Everything produced in an engagement, code, documentation, and related work product, transfers to the client under contract terms we agree on together. Nothing stays locked to us.
There is no account-manager layer. Senior engineers work directly inside your repo, your Slack, and your tools, so the person you talk to is the person writing the code. You get working software every week, not status decks.
Usually within the week. We start with an intro call and a free AI Fit Assessment to scope the work. Most fixed-scope projects take 2 to 6 weeks from kickoff to delivery.
Forward-deployed engineering runs on a weekly or monthly rate, quoted after the assessment. Fixed-scope projects get a fixed quote, so the price you sign is the price you pay. The AI Co-Profit Plan is a separate outcome-based track on our main site, with its own qualification process.
NDAs are standard. We work on least-privilege access inside environments you control, and your data stays in your systems. You can revoke access at any time.
