A global identity layer for partners, customers, and access control — built on Firestore.
Paper-Slayer Intake
Document AI → structured data → routed workflows. Zero manual re-keying.
Angel Operations
Vertex AI voice + intent → guided actions, compliance trails, audit logs.

Platform overview

What DBOS is

DBOS is a multi-tenant AI platform that removes repetitive administrative load for regulated small businesses while increasing operational clarity, auditability, and compliance. It replaces fragmented point tools with one connected operating model — identity, intake, automation, and regional intelligence in a single stack.

🚫
Not a consultancy
Core value is recurring platform usage and standardized operations, not bespoke service engagements. SaaS economics from day one.
🔗
Not another app
DBOS connects identity, intake, workflow triggers, regional context, and compliance — under one operating model. No stitched-together silos.
📐
Built to scale
Multi-tenant by design. Prepared for multi-country rollout. Modular per vertical sector. Terraform-managed infrastructure from day one.
Target verticals

Built for regulated local service businesses

Starting with the highest-value, highest-friction sectors where AI-driven automation delivers measurable ROI within the first quarter of deployment. Designed to expand across every local service vertical.

Cloud infrastructure

Enterprise-grade AI infrastructure

DBOS is a data + identity + AI platform. Google Cloud and Alibaba Cloud provide an integrated foundation across these layers — enabling global reach, regional compliance, and enterprise-grade AI without stitching together disparate systems.

Google Cloud — core AI stack
  • Vertex AI — model usage, structured outputs, and agent workflows
  • Document AI — regulated paper-heavy process automation
  • BigQuery — scalable context, analytics, and audit backbone
  • Firestore — global identity and multi-tenant data structures (GID)
  • Cloud Run + Pub/Sub — event-driven execution and workflow triggers
  • Firebase Hosting — global CDN delivery for all customer portals
Alibaba Cloud — APAC & global expansion
  • Alibaba Cloud AI — regional AI inference for APAC deployments
  • OSS + MaxCompute — scalable document storage and batch analytics
  • Function Compute — serverless execution for edge workflow triggers
  • PolarDB — managed relational database for structured compliance data
  • Enterprise Verification — pending; Thomas LI account manager assigned
Design principles
  • Identity-first architecture — long-term interoperability across sectors
  • Human-in-the-loop confirmations — safety and compliance by design
  • Country-agnostic core with configurable regional policy overlays
  • Terraform-only infrastructure — no manual cloud clicks, full auditability
Infrastructure governance
  • Two approvals required before any infrastructure merge
  • Branch-protected repositories — sace0001, sace0002, sace0003 roles
  • Staging environment (dbos-core-stage) isolated from production
  • All role-prefix emails route to support@dbos.world for auditability
Positioning note
DBOS is a product platform. Smart Trades Training (STT) operates and incubates DBOS in its early phase. Currently Phase 1 — building in stage, converting fully to Terraform when architects are onboarded. Google Cloud: dbos-core-stage + dbos-core-prod under dbos.world. Billing active.
Cloud AI Startup Programme
Applying for AI Startup Credits
DBOS is actively pursuing Google Cloud for Startups and Alibaba Cloud AI Startup programme credits to accelerate Vertex AI agent development, Document AI processing at scale, and APAC regional infrastructure. The platform is purpose-built on GCP tooling and designed to maximise the value of AI startup infrastructure support.

How we operate

Principles

1
Identity is the backbone
A single GID model built on Firestore enables cross-sector and cross-location collaboration. No orphaned records. No stitched-together silos. Every action traceable to a verified identity.
2
Automation is earned
We automate only after intake and routing are correct, traceable, and stable. Vertex AI agents are deployed after the human workflow is proven — not before.
3
Intelligence is contextual
Regional signals turn raw data into practical recommendations — not opaque black-box decisions. Every AI output is explainable, auditable, and reversible by a human operator.
Infrastructure laws
LAW 1
Terraform only — no manual cloud clicks, ever.
LAW 2
Two approvals before any infrastructure merge.
LAW 3
Code only — every change is a code change.
