Fuku joined APSCo Southeast Asia and TENTEN Partners for a panel discussion on how AI is changing recruitment practice in the region.
Last week, Fuku AI had the privilege of joining APSCo Southeast Asia and TENTEN Partners for an intimate panel discussion on one of the most pressing topics in today’s talent landscape: AI in HR and Recruitment.
During the session, our Founder & CEO, Kevin Gao, shared Fuku AI’s vision of how artificial intelligence is transforming people management — enabling companies to hire faster, smarter, and with greater precision, while reducing costs and elevating the candidate experience.
The discussion brought together forward-thinking leaders across the HR and recruitment ecosystem to exchange ideas on how AI is reshaping talent acquisition and people management. From streamlining job description creation to predictive analytics for better hiring decisions, the conversation highlighted the opportunities — and responsibilities — that come with embedding AI into the future of work.
“These conversations are critical as we all navigate how AI is reshaping talent acquisition and people management. I’m grateful to APSCo Southeast Asia and TENTEN Partners for convening such a thoughtful group of leaders.”
We extend our sincere thanks to APSCo Southeast Asia and TENTEN Partners for creating this platform for dialogue.
If you’re keen to explore how AI is transforming recruitment and HR, we’d love to connect and continue the conversation.

FUKU.AI, the AI hiring architecture built for small and mid-sized businesses across Asia, today announced that it has been accepted into the NVIDIA Inception program, which supports startups revolutionizing industries with AI and data science.
FUKU.AI enables SMEs to hire white-collar, mid-level professionals faster, smarter, and more affordably — replacing fragmented tools like job boards, spreadsheets, and agencies with one AI-powered system for sourcing, outreach, and interviewing.
“Joining NVIDIA Inception is a strong validation of our AI-first approach to recruitment. With NVIDIA’s technical expertise and ecosystem support, we can deliver hiring tools that are faster, smarter, and built specifically for SMEs in Singapore, Malaysia, and Hong Kong.”
NVIDIA Inception will provide FUKU.AI with access to advanced AI technology, developer training, and go-to-market support. This will accelerate the development of core modules such as intention-based candidate search, multi-channel outreach, and the AI Interview Agent.
“SMEs shouldn’t have to juggle job boards, spreadsheets, and recruiter bills. We’re building one intelligent hiring system that works like a full recruitment team — always on, affordable, and simple to use.”
Since its beta launch in June 2025, FUKU.AI has already attracted 260 SME users, 35 paying clients, and has more than 500 SMEs on its waitlist. Clients report up to 3× productivity gains in sourcing and candidate quality compared to traditional methods.
FUKU.AI is building the AI Hiring Architecture for SMEs in Asia — a unified platform that replaces job boards, spreadsheets, and fragmented tools with AI-driven sourcing, outreach, interviewing, and analytics. With a proprietary database of over 10 million white-collar resumes across Southeast Asia, FUKU.AI enables SMEs to hire mid-level professionals at a fraction of the time and cost.
Founded in 2024 and headquartered in Singapore, FUKU.AI is rapidly scaling into Singapore, Malaysia, and Hong Kong.
