RAG Sales Knowledge Assistant

ShieldPoint · Deployed MVP

A source-backed assistant for sales questions, built with synthetic product documents.

Project details

The deployed demo is currently offline.

User problem
Help a new salesperson find a product answer and check the source without searching through documents.
Product decisions
I simplified earlier conversation experiments into a text assistant after slow responses made the experience less useful. I took the deployed demo offline after testing because of running costs.

3D Lamp Design Tool

Lamdio · Interactive prototype

I built a browser-based lamp customiser to bridge the gap between choosing a design and making it with a 3D printer.

Decisions and learnings
Why I built it
People can explore lamp shapes without learning 3D modelling. The intended next step is downloading their design as a printable STL file.
Where it stands
STL export still needs assessment and further development before print readiness can be confirmed.

Interactive Aquarium Screensaver

Screen Fish Saver · Interactive experiment

I reimagined the classic aquarium screensaver as an interactive browser experience: choose a tank and fish, then enjoy your aquarium in full-screen mode.

Open Screen Fish Saver (opens in a new tab)
Decisions and learnings
Why I built it
Inspired by the aquarium screensavers of the late ’90s and early 2000s, I wanted to recreate that nostalgia with a tank people could customise and interact with.
How it works
Choose your tank, fish and décor, care for the aquarium, and switch to full-screen mode for a browser-based screensaver. Your setup is saved in the browser.

Interactive Storybook

Storytime · Family project

I built an interactive storybook from my seven-year-old daughter’s ideas, exploring how AI can support creativity at home.

Open Storytime (opens in a new tab)
Decisions and learnings
Why I built it
After building a minigame, she was inspired to create a storybook with AI-generated imagery. I prompted her to imagine the story and describe her vision, then used AI to bring her ideas to life.

Agents

I’ve tested agents on real tasks: planning work, investigating billing alerts, tracking air quality, and building a cited sales assistant.

  • Grok Bot

    A persistent cloud agent I used to test planning and follow-through on tasks.

  • OpenAI dots

    My dot investigated a billing alert, then stopped remaining Railway deployments at my request.

  • Instinct

    A personal assistant that sends recurring WhatsApp PSI and PM2.5 haze updates.

  • Hermes

    A customizable agent I used to build and test a cited sales assistant.

Torrance Tai smiling

Hello, I’m Torrance.

I’m a product manager in Singapore. I’ve spent years developing products and managing digital projects, and now I’m applying that experience to practical AI prototypes and agent workflows. I also co-lead AI Parents Club (Singapore), helping parents navigate raising children in the age of AI.

Community

AI Parents Club (Singapore)

I co-lead a community of AI-native parents exploring one question: “How do we raise children in the age of AI?”

Through shared experiences, practical guidance and discussion, we build AI awareness, explore AI for thinking and learning, and empower parents to put safeguards into practice.

Community meet-up in October
Updates will roll out in our WhatsApp community and on LinkedIn (opens in a new tab) in November.

Let’s work together.

Working on a product or exploring an AI idea? I’d love to hear what you’re building and see where I can help.
