AI in Singapore

Researchers at the SIA-NUS Digital Aviation Corporate Lab built LEAN-LLM-OPT, a three-agent LLM workflow that writes optimisation models from a plain-language query and data. On a booking simulator trained on Singapore Airlines sales data, it reached 93.33% and 92.06% execution accuracy on two revenue management tasks, ahead of Gemini 3 Pro and GPT-5.2.

Built on AWS Bedrock with Anthropic's Claude Instant, NCS's GenAssist suite augments the Singapore Ministry of Manpower Contact Center with three modules — an RAG-based onboarding chatbot (LangChain, Amazon Kendra, 93% accuracy), a hyperlocal speech-to-text pipeline via NCS's own ins8.ai engine (95% transcription accuracy on Singapore accents), and a Claude Instant summarizer (99% accuracy, human-in-the-loop). The deployment has cut average call handling time 12%, after-call work over 50%, and lifted overall agent productivity 6%, without ripping out MOM's existing contact-center infrastructure.

The National Heart Centre Singapore (NHCS) deployed Pair, an AI Assistant developed by Open Government Products (OGP), to analyse patient case notes at a scale that was previously impossible under IT-policy restrictions. Pair reached 96% accuracy across all 19 Charlson Comorbidity Index components on a 600-patient test, and cut processing time for 6,128 discharge summaries from 286 hours of manual interpretation to just one hour of prompt generation and upload.

Us2.ai AI echocardiography platform deployed across Mayo Clinic, Bordeaux University Hospital, and 5 Indian tertiary centers, automating 10+ cardiac parameters in under 2 minutes with 91-100% accuracy. FDA 510(k) cleared 2022; 10M patient Mayo trial started 2026.

Singapore's National University Hospital deployed MedBot, a generative AI medication counselling assistant on AWS Healthcare Commercial Cloud, achieving 28 man-hours saved monthly and ~SGD 15,400 annualised savings across 66 medications and 2,500 daily outpatient prescriptions since launching July 2025.

Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Center Singapore (HMGICS), launched in 2023, deployed more than 200 robots including Spot from Boston Dynamics across inspection, production, and logistics with embedded AI, reducing lead times and operational bottlenecks by more than 50 percent while reaching about 68 percent logistics automation and 67 percent manufacturing automation — figures Hyundai described as significantly higher than conventional facilities, with the technology now scaling across the company's global manufacturing sites including the US.

Okara is an AI CMO that orchestrates eight specialized sub-agents (SEO, GEO, social, content, Reddit, Hacker News, and adjacent channels) to drive growth for over 120,000 small businesses, processing 4 billion tokens per day. Built by a 4-person Singapore-based team, the platform runs on Vercel AI Gateway (unified multi-provider inference with retry, fallback, zero-data retention) and Vercel Sandboxes (isolated agent execution), enabling same-day model availability and shipping 6-7x daily. New AI models become available to users the day they ship, and the SEO agent can scan a user's site, spin up a Sandbox to fix technical issues, and open a pull request — all with a human making the final call before anything goes live.

Etiqa Insurance Singapore (Maybank group) scaled generative AI across customer and staff workflows, growing chatbot usage 1,233% (300 to 4,000 monthly threads) and achieving 44% autonomous query resolution. E-CLEVA video claims service cut damage assessment time by 80%. Two GenAI chatbots planned for 2025; next-gen projected to lift autonomous resolution by 40%, with Vision LLM pilot targeting 50% document review time reduction.
