Background

About Dicky Gunawan

I build the operating systems that let small teams ship AI products at a scale and cost that shouldn't be possible. Fifteen years shipping tech across Japan, Singapore, China, and Indonesia. E-commerce, hardware, SaaS, and now AI. What I care about is the operational reality of scaling: the workflows, teams, and quality gates that turn a promising model into a product people actually rely on. My current focus is the collaboration between automation and human judgment, where agentic AI does the repeatable work and expert humans stay accountable for quality. What I'm building now: → Kuas. Architectural renovation renders delivered in 3 working days at ~10% of studio cost. Agentic workflows handle 30% of production; every output passes a named human reviewer, so one person can quality-control 40+ projects a day. Running an enterprise pilot with one of Japan's largest home-renovation firms projects/year). → ArchiX.ai (Director of Operations). Built the 0-to-1 operational framework that scaled a B2B AI product to customers in its first year, and manage the Google Cloud partnership behind the infrastructure. Led a 15-person cross-functional team from discovery through launch and operations. Before AI, I scaled products across domains: Head of UX at Ruparupa (omni-channel retail, team to 54, 2.8x revenue), product design for the Hiuni Telescope (Kickstarter — $486K from 847 backers), and CX for a Huawei/XL Axiata digital service reaching 6M users. If you're building in AI, scaling operations in a hard market, or need premium renders for a real-estate or architecture project, let's talk.
