About Stellar AGI Labs: Our Story, Products & Direction

Two university students started tinkering in 2018. Five years later, they incorporated a company with seven co-founders, $500K in seed capital, and six products across AI, Web3, and enterprise IT. This is how it happened.

In 2018, two university students in Hong Kong, Victor Lee and KN Lee, started tinkering. Not with a grand business plan or a pitch deck, but with curiosity. They wanted to understand how the internet actually worked under the hood: how data moved, how models learned, how software could be built to solve problems that no one had properly addressed yet.

That tinkering turned into research. The research turned into prototypes. And somewhere along the way, what started as a side project became a conviction: there was a real gap in the market for practical, well-engineered technology, especially in financial automation, digital commerce, and enterprise software.

How Stellar AGI Labs Came Together

It took five years of preparation before Stellar AGI Labs became a company. Victor and KN spent those years studying in Hong Kong, not just in classrooms, but through hands-on experimentation across the internet industry. They built tools. They broke things. They learned what worked and, more importantly, what didn't.

By early 2023, they had the clarity and the team. Five additional co-founders joined, each bringing distinct expertise: investment and governance, R&D leadership, software architecture, and design. Together, the seven pooled $500,000 in seed capital and incorporated the company in Hong Kong and Singapore. Stellar AGI Labs was no longer an idea. It was a registered entity with a mandate: build technology that actually works.

Having grown up and studied in Hong Kong, the Lee founders carry a deep desire to give back to the city that nurtured them by promoting the development of AI in Hong Kong. Today, Stellar AGI Labs operates as a dual-headquarters company across Singapore and Hong Kong, leveraging resources from both cities to accelerate product development and global expansion.

What We Actually Do

We operate across three verticals, each with dedicated products:

AI & Automation

AskAIs AI is our financial document engine. It automates receipt generation, invoice parsing, and bookkeeping workflows using our own large language models. We have reduced manual data entry for our clients by up to 95%. It is live and processing transactions today.

AskAIs Draw is our image generation platform, currently in development. It uses a proprietary diffusion model to produce high-fidelity visuals from text prompts, for commercial design, marketing, and creative production.

Digital Commerce

WeTruste is an escrow-based marketplace for virtual product trading. Every transaction is held in escrow until both sides confirm. Sellers are verified. Disputes are handled transparently. It addresses a fundamental trust problem in digital goods commerce.

WePoste is a vertical social platform for promotions and community engagement. Businesses use AI agents to manage content and campaigns. Users discover deals and interact through an interface designed around utility, not distraction.

Enterprise IT

WeDev is our software development arm. We build custom systems, license SaaS tools, and handle cloud infrastructure for businesses that need reliable technology without the overhead of building in-house.

WeBot is our robotics R&D division. We are developing intelligent assistants for home automation, commercial services, and security applications. These are early-stage projects, but they represent our long-term bet on the convergence of AI and physical systems.

Why We Exist

We are not trying to be everything to everyone. Our focus is narrow and intentional:

We build technology for businesses and individuals who need tools that work: reliably, securely, and at scale. We are not chasing hype cycles. We are solving specific, measurable problems: financial document processing, secure digital trading, enterprise software delivery, and AI-assisted content creation.

Our clients include individuals, small businesses, enterprises, and government bodies. Over 10,000 to date, with a 98% satisfaction rate and a 59% returning client rate. These are not vanity metrics. They are the result of building products that people actually want to use again.

The 2026 Pivot

In early 2026, we made a strategic decision that reshaped the company. The AI market had become crowded and competitive. Rather than spreading thin, we chose to concentrate.

Over 70% of our resources are now directed toward two verticals where we have genuine differentiation:

AskAIs AI: because financial document automation is a specialized, underserved market where our models already outperform generic solutions.

AskAIs Draw: because the AI image generation space has enormous commercial potential, and our proprietary architecture gives us a technical edge in quality and customization.

This is not a pivot born from panic. It is a calculated bet. We believe that depth in a focused domain will always outperform breadth in a crowded one.

What Comes Next

We are a company of seven co-founders, six products, and a team that has been building together since before the company formally existed.

Our near-term roadmap is straightforward. For AskAIs AI, we are expanding language support, adding multi-currency invoice handling, and integrating with major accounting platforms so that businesses can plug our engine directly into their existing workflows. For AskAIs Draw, we are refining our diffusion architecture to support higher resolutions, batch processing, and style-consistent brand asset generation. Both products will enter new markets in Southeast Asia and Japan within the next 12 months.

On the Web3 side, WeTruste will introduce on-chain escrow verification, giving buyers and sellers cryptographic proof of transaction integrity. WePoste is building out its AI agent framework so that businesses can automate not just content publishing, but audience segmentation and campaign optimization. WeDev continues to onboard enterprise clients, with a focus on regulated industries like finance and healthcare where compliance and reliability are non-negotiable.

WeBot remains our longest-horizon bet. We are currently prototyping two product lines: a compact home assistant designed for elderly care and daily household tasks, and a commercial-grade security unit with autonomous patrol capabilities. Neither is ready for market yet, but the underlying AI navigation and decision-making systems are progressing faster than we initially projected.

Beyond products, we are investing in infrastructure. Our proprietary model training pipeline is being scaled to handle larger datasets and more complex architectures. We are building internal tools for automated testing, deployment, and monitoring that will accelerate our release cycles across all six products. And we are expanding our team with a focus on research engineers, applied ML specialists, and product designers who share our belief that good technology starts with good engineering.

We do not make promises about changing the world. We make promises about shipping products that work, supporting clients who trust us, and building a company that will still be here and still be relevant a decade from now.
