Bespoke AI solutions,

We build it with you, and we stay until it works.

Let's talk

Our Approach

Two figures collaborating at a whiteboard

We work with you to find the right problems to solve

We've been operators. We've had experience in the trenches. We work with you to figure out where automation makes real impact.

Tailor measuring a custom fit

Bespoke AI that fits your workflow

Every business runs differently. We build what you actually need, not what a platform thinks you need.

Two figures nurturing growth together

A partnership, not a project

We know processes aren't static. Your business evolves, and your automation should too. We're here to adjust with you as things change.

Our Work

We partner with businesses to design and deploy AI solutions that actually work in the real world.

Case Study
Grain

WhatsApp Sales Agent

Grain is one of Singapore's leading catering companies. We built Alfred, a WhatsApp AI agent that handles sales inquiries and manages complex business rules.

Alfred WhatsApp conversation

Meeting customers where they are

Most of Grain's sales communication happens on WhatsApp. Alfred handles incoming inquiries, qualifies leads, and answers questions about menus, pricing, and availability. All in the same channel customers already use.

  • Target: 70% of WhatsApp messages handled by AI
  • Frees up sales team for high-value conversations
Lyra SOP workflow visualization

Handling complex situations

Catering has complicated rules: lead times, public holidays, dietary requirements, minimum orders. We built Alfred on our Lyra platform with detailed SOPs so it knows when to handle things automatically and when to escalate to a human.

  • Built on our Lyra agent platform
  • Handles lead time validation, menu recommendations, and escalations

About Us

Teren Perera
Teren Perera
Founder

We're a small team based in Singapore building custom AI automation for businesses. Before Papercut Labs, we built and ran operations at startups. We know what it's like in the trenches.

We build bespoke solutions because, in our experience, that's the only way it actually works. Every business is different. We'd rather make something that truly works for one client than sell something half-baked to a thousand.
