How to build internal AI tools with your data while meeting Hong Kong privacy obligations.
dgm is an independent osFoundry integration partner — not affiliated with osFoundry’s maker (OS LLC), and dgm has no completed client integrations yet.
Building internal AI tools over your own data gives you control that off-the-shelf products do not. Here is how a Hong Kong business approaches it.
When to build internal tools
When your workflow, data or compliance needs do not fit an off-the-shelf product, or when you need data to stay in Hong Kong, building on a model-agnostic platform makes sense.
What it involves
Grounding the tool in your data, connecting it to your systems, setting access controls, and keeping a human in the loop — with the PDPO respected for any personal data.
Keeping it controlled
osFoundry is a model-agnostic, bring-your-own-key (BYOK) AI orchestration platform — usage-based pricing with no per-seat fees, local-first and self-hostable, with per-region data pinning or deployment into your own cloud. osFoundry’s managed cloud pins data to the US, EU or Japan — it does not currently offer a Hong Kong managed region (its nearest managed region is Japan). To keep data in Hong Kong, the honest path is self-hosting osFoundry (BYO Cloud) inside a Hong Kong cloud region such as AWS Asia Pacific (Hong Kong) ap-east-1, Microsoft Azure East Asia (Hong Kong SAR) or Google Cloud asia-east2 (Hong Kong), or running models locally on-device.
Where dgm fits
dgm is an independent integration partner that helps Hong Kong businesses adopt osFoundry — scoping a first use case, handling the build, and connecting AI to the systems you already run. dgm is independent of osFoundry’s maker (OS LLC) and has no completed client integrations yet, so everything described here is a service offered, not a past result. If you want to scope a practical first project, dgm can help you map it out.
