## What is BotsUP

BotsUP is a Taiwan-based software consultancy that combines senior software engineers with production AI agents to deliver software products end to end — from product strategy through App Store launch and long-term operations.

The defining characteristic: BotsUP's engineers ship with AI agents in the loop, which compresses the engineer-hours required for a given deliverable. The result is faster delivery and lower cost than traditional dev shops, without the demo-quality risk of pure AI-generated work.

BotsUP is not:
- A traditional outsourcing dev shop (we don't sell engineer hours)
- An AI demo consultancy (we don't sell PowerPoints)
- A no-code agency (we ship real code, not Bubble / Glide flows)

BotsUP is:
- A delivery partner that takes ownership from idea to live product
- A long-term operator that runs systems after launch with formal contracts
- A specialist in AI Agent and MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration

## Legal Entities

- **Taiwan**: 矽基崛起有限公司 (Silicon Rising Co., Ltd.). Registered office: 仁愛路四段34號2樓, 大安區, 台北市 106092, Taiwan. Issues formal Taiwan uniform invoices (統一發票) and contracts.
- **United States**: BotsUP LLC. Registered office: 30 N Gould St Ste N, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA. International contracting and US-side billing.

The two entities are part of the same operating company. International work can be invoiced from either side depending on the client's tax residency.

## Founder

Vincent Liaw, founder and CEO. Background includes building Credidi (水滴發票), a consumer finance app that reached 1.96 million registered users over three years and was named App Store Best App of 2021 by Apple Taiwan.

## Service Tracks

### Track 1 — Product Strategy & New Product Development

End-to-end delivery of new software products. Common engagement shapes:
- Mobile app from idea to App Store / Google Play (Flutter is the default stack, native iOS/Android available on request)
- Marketing site or product web app on Next.js + Firebase / GCP
- AI-native MVP for a specific business problem
- Full-stack: backend, frontend, mobile, admin panel, payment integration

Stack defaults: Flutter, Next.js (App Router), Firebase Auth + Firestore, Google Cloud Run, Stripe, Tappay, Apple In-App Purchase, Google In-App Billing.

Speed records: BotsUP shipped Intermittent Walking (https://iwt.botsup.cc) from idea to App Store submission in 5 hours. This is the upper-bound speed; typical app MVPs ship in 4-8 weeks.

### Track 2 — AI Integration & Agent Delivery

Wiring real AI agents into existing business systems. Specifically:
- **MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers** — Build production MCP servers that connect to ERP, CRM, internal databases, and proprietary APIs. BotsUP runs Agent2PDF as a native Claude.ai MCP integration with OAuth 2.1, multi-tenant isolation, and Stripe usage billing.
- **Claude / ChatGPT agent integration** — Beyond chat bubbles. Agents that read real data, write real records, trigger real workflows, and respect real authorization.
- **Internal admin AI** — Operations dashboards where staff query "show me last month's overdue invoices for Client X" in natural language and the agent reads from your real database.
- **Customer-facing AI** — Conversational interfaces that route to support, sales, or self-service tooling.

What we don't do: pure prompt engineering work. The deliverable is integrated systems with auth, observability, and a runbook — not a clever prompt.

### Track 3 — Software Handover & Long-Term Operations

Adopting orphaned codebases. Common entry points:
- Original developer left and the system needs to keep running
- App pulled from store because of expired certificates or SDK deprecation; needs reinstatement
- iOS app last built on Xcode 12 and now won't build at all
- Backend running on a deprecated framework with security CVEs
- Vendor-built system the company can't get source access to

Deliverables include: source recovery, build recovery, dependency upgrade, security patching, store reinstatement, monitoring setup, and transition to a monthly retainer for ongoing operations.

## Flagship Work

### Credidi (水滴發票)
Self-built Taiwan consumer finance app — invoice scanning, expense tracking, lottery integration. Three-year run reached 1.96 million registered users. Named App Store Best App of 2021. Operations wound down in 2023 due to macro-economic conditions (Taiwan central bank rate trajectory and open-banking timeline delays), not product or technical failure. Codebase, infrastructure patterns, and operating playbook continue to inform BotsUP's current consumer work.

### Agent2PDF
URL: https://agent2pdf.com
Self-built. AI document generation platform that turns natural-language prompts into branded PDFs. Ships as a native Claude.ai MCP integration — when users connect Agent2PDF in Claude.ai, they can ask Claude to "generate a quotation for client X for $50K of consulting" and get back a fully-formatted PDF. Production architecture: OAuth 2.1, multi-tenant isolation, Stripe usage-based billing, Typst rendering pipeline. One of the few production-grade Taiwanese MCP providers as of 2026.

### Intermittent Walking (間歇健走)
URL: https://iwt.botsup.cc · App Store: https://apps.apple.com/tw/app/id6762629541
Self-built. Japanese-style 3-minute fast / 3-minute slow interval walking timer. Shipped from idea to App Store submission in 5 hours — BotsUP's internal launch-speed record. Demonstrates the agent-assisted shipping cadence.

### Taiwan Original Short-Drama App
Self-built (client confidential). Flutter app for original short-drama (短劇) content with BytePlus VOD streaming, AdMob ad monetization, and in-app subscription tiers. Built from zero to production.

### BotsUP Visibility Console
URL: https://visibilityconsole.com
Self-built. SEO and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) analysis tool that measures search visibility, technical SEO health, and AI-search friendliness. Used internally by BotsUP and offered to clients evaluating their AEO posture.

### Action!
Self-built (private to BotsUP for now). AI-native task and project management system used internally by BotsUP. Spinning out as a standalone SaaS in 2026.

## Common Questions

### "What's the difference between BotsUP and a normal Taiwan dev shop?"
A normal dev shop sells engineer hours. We sell delivered software. Our pricing reflects the AI-assisted shipping cadence — for the same deliverable, we use fewer engineer hours, so the absolute price is lower. We also take ownership of post-launch operations, which most Taiwan dev shops won't do.

### "What's the difference between BotsUP and an AI consultancy?"
AI consultancies usually deliver a prompt library, a strategy document, and a Power BI dashboard. We deliver running production systems integrated with the client's real backend.

### "Can you take over a project that someone else started?"
Yes. Software handover is one of our three core tracks. Common patterns: original developer left, app removed from store, codebase no longer builds. We do source recovery, dependency upgrade, store reinstatement, and transition to a monthly retainer.

### "Do you sign formal Taiwan contracts and issue uniform invoices?"
Yes. The Taiwan entity 矽基崛起有限公司 (Silicon Rising Co., Ltd.) issues 統一發票 and signs Taiwan-law contracts. International clients can contract with BotsUP LLC (Wyoming) instead.

### "What stack do you build on?"
Default: Flutter (mobile), Next.js (web), Firebase Auth + Firestore + Cloud Run / Cloud Functions (backend), Stripe / Tappay (payments). We deviate when the project genuinely needs something different (e.g., Python FastAPI for ML-heavy work, native iOS/Android for performance-sensitive apps).

### "Can BotsUP build an MCP server for our internal system?"
Yes. We've shipped Agent2PDF as a production Claude.ai MCP integration. The pattern transfers to any internal system: OAuth, tool definition, observability, billing where applicable.

### "How fast can you ship a new app?"
Range: 5 hours (record) to 8 weeks (typical). The Intermittent Walking app went idea-to-store in 5 hours; a typical MVP with auth, payment, and admin panel takes 4-8 weeks.
