Our AI journey.
Chapter one, not a finished report. Four months, 25 projects, 16 people who had never shipped software before — told month by month.
"We didn't wait for a training program or a technical team to start using AI seriously — we just started. If you've got a repetitive problem and an idea, you already have permission to try. Ship something small, ask for help when you're stuck, and you'll end up on this page too."
— placeholder, not yet reviewed or approved by Derrick. Edit freely or replace entirely on the FAQ's "do I need permission" answer as well once finalized.
Month by month.
2026
The first 8 projects begin — mostly solo efforts, one person and an idea each. Elitez EOR, Elitez ESOP, Elitez Vantage and Flashcart all trace back to this month, alongside the first group-site rebuilds (Aviation, JR+, Security, Vector Sky Defense).
2026
The busiest month — 9 more projects start, and the first real collaborations appear: Jack Wang joins on Discounter, Damien Tan on ElitezShelf. This is also when ElitezShelf's on-device AI pipeline and the DHC/Pulse/Merchandising/SP-CORENET/Events lines begin.
2026
The internal productivity layer takes shape — the Leadership Cockpit, HR + Finance tools, Ask Elitez AI, Command Centre and the Company RAG all begin, mostly under shared internal infrastructure rather than standalone builds.
