Under the auspices of its Asia’s Innovation Resource Platform (AIRP), 36Kr Global aims to accelerate the development of cross-border economic flows and help industry stakeholders explore business opportunities with each other.

On November 24, AIRP, together with Singapore’s Economic Development Board (EDB) and JG Digital Equity Ventures, the venture arm of JG Summit Holdings, came together for the seventh installment of the Bespoke Innovation Webinar 2020 — focused on the digitalization of traditional banks. Representatives of promising fintech startups were invited to share during this virtual closed-door exchange.

During the Q&A session, Sheinal Bhuralal, senior investment director of JG Digital Equity Ventures and startup representatives discussed the application of new technology in banking and potential of future cooperation.

Representing the Global Innovation Alliance Programme Office of the Singapore Economic Development Board, Ethan Lim shared the vision and purpose of the event. As Asia’s economic gateway, Singapore has always been committed to promoting the process of globalization and the strategic cooperative relationship between Singaporean and Chinese enterprises — creating a more dynamic and sustainable ecosystem.

As such, the intention of this session was for JG Digital Equity Ventures to connect with startups they are interested in learning from, get inspiration and work together to create new opportunities.

Digital Employees – AI + Robotic Process Automation 

RPA (robotic process automation) uses software robots to simulate and replace human employees to operate various OS and application software. It can deal with repetitive, procedural, regulated and experiential work with low cost and high efficiency, as well as cross-system, cross-platform data processing work.

IntelligenceIndeed proprietary technology lies in providing AI and RPA driven intelligent software robots, otherwise known as digital employees. At present, it has serviced government agencies as well as large enterprises in finance, energy, and the transportation. It has helped customers replace repetitive systems and gain supported decision-making capabilities.

Its AI cloud product, ‘z-brain’, can increase the perception and cognitive ability of robots through AI components, such as intelligent decision-making.

IntelligenceIndeed’s system comprises of 4 products: z-factory (robot factory), z-commander (central console), z-bot (Digital employee) and z-brain (AI cloud brain). Their integrated platform includes NLP (natural language processing), CV / OCR (computer vision / optical character recognition), Chatbot (dialogue robot platform) functions and machine learning platform. The entire system acts as a general platform, allowing users to drag and drop more than 400 RPA components, to build different business processes zero-code, saving deployment time and cost.

At present, IntelligenceIndeed’s technology has been used across industries and departments, including finance, human resources, operations, customer service and risk control. Other use cases include intelligent underwriting in insurance and customer service quality inspection in e-commerce.

In the Q&A segment, IntelligenceIndeed and JG Digital discussed potential use cases of RPA and how to use the technology can aid collaboration across organisations. In application, RPA is acts like a ‘digital employee’. Clients can use these digital employees to operate the internal systems of the company and independently deal with daily affairs. When dealing with issues that require more experienced decision making, the ‘digital employees’ are optimised with AI deep learning, enabling it to learn how to make better judgments.

We have observed an increasing number of big corporates deploying their innovation strategies without geographic limitation and trying to find best-fit solutions across regional markets like China, SEA, India, and Japan. However, it is challenging for corporates to reach outside of the organization to scout for technology and collaboration partners.
