KA-AI
From Inspiration to Installation
AI designs it, Greater Bay Area factories make it, we install it — custom furniture for
Hong Kong HOS homes, 30–40% cheaper, in 20 days.
The Problem
Furnishing a new 居屋 flat is a nightmare.
- Custom quotes HK$80–150k — 40–50% of the reno budget.
- 12 weeks of design + manufacturing delays move-in.
- Retail doesn't fit standardised HOS layouts → wasted material.
- IKEA = no custom · local makers ≈ +60% · Taobao = slow, risky, no HK install.
Endless browsing · nothing fits
The Solution
One flow, idea → installed furniture.

6Deliver + install
30–40% below HK retail · ~20 days. The only platform that turns an AI design into
CNC-ready files a factory actually cuts.
Browse 10,000+ HOS-fit designs

Live
working platform demo: design → quote → CNC files
Real demand + real supply + a made product — what AI-render-only competitors can't show.
Product · the magic inside
Scan → render → customise → quote.
- AI 3D render of your flat in minutes — drag dimensions (±2mm), styles, finishes.
- Instant Quote — "lower price $X vs traditional," fully transparent.
- Auto CNC/G-code + shop drawings → factory → logistics to HK → install.

Why Now · Market
High HK demand × low GBA cost.
- Steady HOS supply + the Youth HOS Scheme (~1,500 quota) = a defined first market.
- Greater Bay Area manufacturing cost is low; KA-AI bridges the gap to HK demand.
- AI 3D + CAD automation only recently became good & cheap enough to do end-to-end.
GBA factory → delivered to Hong Kong
Business Model · freemium, multi-sided
Free to design — earn when furniture is made.
- Transaction (70%) — commission on manufactured furniture; HK–mainland arbitrage, 18–25% margin (~HK$1.5–2.5k/order).
- Install (10%) — 10–15% referral on HK installation.
- B2B/B2G (15%) — developer show-flats, Housing Authority HOS pilots.
- Ads / factory SaaS (5%). Renders metered as design credits → cost ≈ revenue.
Unfair Advantage
A moat that takes 18–24 months to copy.
✕ IKEA
Standardised — won't fit HOS. No customisation.
✕ Taobao custom
Cheap but slow & risky; no HK install.
✓ KA-AI
Proprietary HOS database + AI→CNC + factory MOUs + HK install.
End-to-end automation · robot assembly

Technology
API-linked now; own models once funded.
- Y1: 2D concept gen → 2D→3D → 3D→toolpath/G-code for machines.
- CAD: Fusion/SolidWorks APIs, parametric, ±2mm, .step/.dwg/.stl.
- Y2–3: fine-tuned diffusion on 10,000+ HOS layouts (~98% accuracy).
Design → G-code → CNC cut
Financials · conservative base + upside
Profitable unit economics, proven in trials.
| Year | Revenue | Net | Margin |
|---|
| 1 | HK$0.3M | +$80K | ~26% |
| 2 | HK$1.7M | +$340K | ~20% |
| 3 | HK$5.1M | +$1.8M | ~35% |
| 4 | HK$11.1M | +$5.4M | ~48% |
~18–25% margin/order · CLV ~HK$12k · CAC HK$270→$120. Y1 grounded in the proven 1/3-cost unit.
