The SME squeeze
You don't need another headcount. You need the work done.
Hiring a full-time accounts executive, marketing exec, HR generalist and personal assistant in Singapore is a six-figure annual commitment before CPF, leave, recruitment fees and the three months it takes to get them productive.
- S$3,500–5,500/month per junior back-office hire, plus CPF and 14 days' leave
- 2–3 months to recruit, then another 2 to become useful
- Every resignation takes your process knowledge out the door
- Owners end up doing it — invoicing at 11pm, replying to enquiries on weekends
An AI Employee starts at a fraction of that, works every day of the year, and keeps a written record of how your business actually runs.

How it works
Working in 14 days, not 14 weeks
No enterprise transformation programme. No 60-page discovery deck. We start with one painful process and prove it.
Free AI audit
We spend 30 minutes on your operations and map every repetitive, rules-based task across finance, marketing, HR and admin. You get a written shortlist of what to automate first — and what to leave alone.
Build & connect
We configure your AI Employee: your chart of accounts, brand voice, hiring criteria or inbox rules. We connect it to Xero, Google Workspace, WhatsApp or whatever you run, then test it on real work in a safe sandbox.
Supervise & scale
Go live in draft-first mode with a human reviewer. As accuracy proves itself, you widen what it can do without asking. Add the next role when you are ready.
Why Adept
Built for Singapore SMEs, not Fortune 500 pilots
We are a Singapore company serving Singapore businesses. That shapes every decision we make about compliance, pricing and support.
Singapore context, built in
GST and IRAS timelines, CPF and MOM norms, PDPA obligations, local bank statement formats and the way Singapore customers actually message you on WhatsApp.
Human supervision, always
Every AI Employee has a named Singapore-based reviewer. Statutory filings, contracts and anything sensitive gets human sign-off before it leaves your business.
Fits your stack, not ours
We work inside Xero, QuickBooks, AutoCount, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, WhatsApp Business, Shopify, HubSpot, Accentuate and Monday.com. No forced migration, no ripping out what works.
Your data stays yours
Singapore-region storage, encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access, and a signed DPA. We never train public models on your business data.
Priced like a subscription, not a project
Flat monthly fee, no per-seat surprises, just a minimum 3-month term to get everything properly set up. After that, pause or cancel with 30 days' notice if it is not earning its keep.
You can see every action
A plain-English activity log shows what your AI Employee did, when, and on whose instruction — so audits and handovers are simple.
Honest comparison
AI Employee vs. Hiring vs. Outsourcing
There are good reasons to do all three. Here is where an AI Employee genuinely wins — and where a human still belongs.
| Adept AI Employee | Full-time hire | Traditional outsourcing | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | From S$690 | S$3,500–5,500 + CPF | S$1,500–4,000 retainer |
| Time to productive | About 14 days | 3–5 months | 4–8 weeks |
| Working hours | 24/7, incl. weekends | 44 hrs/week, minus leave | Business hours, queued |
| Knows your process | Documented and reusable | In one person's head | Partially, by account manager |
| Scales with volume | Instantly | Hire again | Renegotiate scope |
| Human oversight | Included reviewer | Manager needed | Included |
| Leaves the company | Never | Average 2–3 years | When contract ends |

Who we work with
SMEs where admin has quietly become the bottleneck
If your team is capable but buried, and hiring feels expensive and slow, you are exactly who we built this for.
Professional servicesCorp sec, agencies, consultancies drowning in client admin and invoicing.
F&B and retailMulti-outlet groups reconciling daily takings, rostering and supplier bills.
Trading & wholesaleQuotations, POs, delivery orders and receivables chasing at volume.
Construction & engineeringProgress claims, subcontractor paperwork, safety and HR records.
Clinics & wellnessAppointment handling, patient enquiries, claims and staff rostering.
Logistics & marineJob documentation, billing accuracy and round-the-clock enquiry response.
In their words
What changes in the first 90 days
The pattern is consistent: the owner stops being the bottleneck, and the team stops doing work a machine should be doing.
“
Our month-end used to take three weeks and two arguments. Now the books are closed by the fifth and I get a one-page summary I actually understand.
“
We publish every week for the first time in five years. The AI Marketer drafts, I approve on my phone in ten minutes, and enquiries have stopped being seasonal.
“
Screening 200 applicants used to eat my weekends. I now get six shortlisted candidates with reasons, and interviews already scheduled.
Simple pricing
From S$690 per month, all-in
One flat monthly fee per AI Employee: build, integrations, human supervision and support included. Add roles as you grow, with a minimum 3-month term and 30 days' notice to cancel thereafter.
FAQ
Questions SME owners ask us
Straight answers. If something is not covered here, WhatsApp us and a human will reply.
It is a configured AI worker with a defined job scope, access to your systems, written rules, and a human supervisor — not a chatbot you have to prompt. You brief it like staff: “chase overdue invoices from day 7, escalate past day 30, never contact these three clients.”
Sometimes, like any new hire. That is why every AI Employee starts in draft-first mode with a human reviewer, keeps a full activity log, and has hard limits you define — payment thresholds, senders it may never email, claims it may never make.
No. We do the building, connecting and monitoring. Your team interacts through email, WhatsApp, or a simple dashboard. If you can brief a junior executive, you can run an AI Employee.
Data is stored in Singapore-region infrastructure, encrypted in transit and at rest, and access is role-based and logged. We sign a data processing agreement, align to PDPA obligations, and never use your data to train public models.
Most clients do — usually the AI Accountant or AI Secretary, because the pain is most obvious there. Adding a second role later takes about a week because the groundwork is already done.
Yes, for Enterprise Development Grant (EDG). AI Employee deployments typically fall under the "Core Capabilities" or "Innovation and Productivity" pillars of EDG, which supports Singapore SMEs adopting technology to strengthen business capabilities, improve productivity or venture into new areas. Eligible projects can receive up to 50% support of qualifying costs, subject to Enterprise Singapore's assessment. We will help you scope the project, prepare the quotations and supporting documents your grant consultant or Enterprise Singapore requires, but eligibility and approval always rest with Enterprise Singapore, never with us.
