我们的宣言

每一项业务都应得到优秀的软件。每一个人都应得到优秀的工具。这不是达到五百名员工后的奖励——而是基本人权。

For decades, strong business software has sat behind high price tags, long rollouts, and layers of paid advice. That kept it out of reach for almost everyone except the biggest companies. We reject that model. Strong software is not a luxury. It is a simple need, like a good pair of shoes — every person doing honest work deserves a pair that fits.

One parent company, one mission

Intelligent Singularity is the parent company of the Clap ecosystem and its sister projects. Each tool — for business, health, finance, work, agriculture, creative media, or shared infrastructure — is built under one mission: deliver the same flagship product to a chief executive in Singapore and a smallholder farmer in rural Bangladesh. Not a watered-down version for the developing world and a real version for the rich. One product, one quality, one standard of respect.

We build one flagship for every problem, not a cheap version for the poor and a real version for the rich. The same tool that tracks stock for a warehouse in Frankfurt tracks stock for a market stall in Lagos. Only the price tier changes, not the features. Nobody is cornered into a smaller product because of where they live.

Universal access, by engineering

We write in grade-eight English. We keep pages small enough for a slow connection. We open with a clear label on every button. We test with real screen readers on real devices. We measure ourselves against WCAG 2.2 AA. We ship in fourteen languages before we ship to anyone. These are not features. They are the floor we stand on.

Universal access is a measurable promise. A page that takes ten seconds to load on a fibre line will take three minutes on a 2G connection — so the page must weigh less than fifty kilobytes on first paint, gzipped, before it is allowed to ship. Forms must work without JavaScript. Buttons must be reachable by keyboard. The next-language switcher must read every script we ship in. None of this is optional. None of it is a "premium" feature. It is the contract we have with the next person to open the page.

Free where it must be free, paid where it can be paid

A free tier is not a sales funnel. It is a working version of the product, with no time bomb, no record cap that punishes growth, and no advertising hidden inside it. A one-person business in Lagos must be able to run real operations on the free tier of every product we ship. The companies that can pay full market price in Toronto, Frankfurt, and Singapore subsidise that floor — happily, because the same product they pay for is the product we are giving away to the people who cannot yet pay for it. Nobody pays twice for the same feature. Nobody is asked to "contact sales." Pricing is published on each product’s own page, in plain numbers, in every currency we serve.

The numbers we design against

According to the International Telecommunication Union, two-point-two billion people — twenty-six percent of humanity — are still offline today. Ninety-six percent of them live in low- and middle-income countries. They are not a market we are chasing. They are family members who have not yet joined the table. Our job is to set the table so wide that nobody is left standing, and to make sure the food is the same quality no matter where you sit.

The same report tells us internet use sits at ninety-four percent in high-income countries and twenty-three percent in low-income ones. Five-G coverage reaches eighty-four percent of people in high-income countries and four percent in low-income ones. Eighty-five percent of urban dwellers are online; only fifty-eight percent of rural ones. None of these gaps will close by accident. Software written for the privileged user, then watered down for everyone else, is not a fix — it is the problem dressed up in different clothes.

A small team, with a long horizon

We are a small remote team that pairs human judgement with AI-agent help across coding, support, fraud detection, and translation. The savings from running this way do not pay for bigger offices or louder launches. They pay for the free tier, the fourteen languages, the offline-first sync, and the green hosting. We are a builder-led company — bootstrapped, self-funded, accountable to users instead of investors chasing a quick exit.

Beyond Earth

Technology that will one day serve humanity beyond Earth must first serve every human on Earth. The discipline of writing software for a 2G connection, an old phone, and a new language is the same discipline that will be needed for an outpost on a distant moon: small files, simple flows, offline-tolerant sync, and unambiguous language. We treat that as practice, not metaphor.

One humanity. One platform. No discrimination. On Earth today, and, in time, wherever humanity goes next.

百分之二十六

今天仍有 22 亿人未联网。

上方较浅的点是已联网的人。较深的、带环的点是未联网的人。百分之九十六的离线人口生活在低收入和中等收入国家。普惠访问工程就是缩小这一差距的方式。下面的九项承诺是我们如何履行的方式。

九项承诺

九个同心环——每个产品在每次发布时都要对每一项进行交付。这份清单不是愿望清单。它是工程合同。

  1. 01

    通用设计,支持离线

    每款产品在光纤网络和不稳定的 2G 网络上都能完美运行。相同的功能,相同的质量。网络连接不应成为门槛。

  2. 02

    简洁标准

    如果一名八年级学生无法在 5 分钟内无需培训完成核心操作流程,则该功能尚未完成。

  3. 03

    公平透明的定价

    永久免费层足以运营一人企业。价格公开发布。无需"联系销售"。无按席位恶性收费。

  4. 04

    所有模块,每一层级

    AI、多店铺、欺诈检测、数据分析、集成——均为标准功能,而非企业版附加组件。

  5. 05

    本地语言与格式

    默认支持多语言。您的语言、您的货币、您的日期格式、您的文化习惯。

  6. 06

    尽可能开源

    知识属于全人类,而非股东。核心工具开源,世界上任何开发者都可以分叉使用。

  7. 07

    AI 增强的精益运营

    一支精小的远程 AI 辅助团队将运营开销降至最低。节省下来的资金投入于真正的普惠化,而非高管薪酬。

  8. 08

    环境可持续性

    默认无纸化。高能效。绿色托管。一个星球,一个标准,为了后来的世代。

  9. 09

    星际就绪

    服务于地球之外人类的技术,必须首先服务地球上的每一个人。不让任何人掉队。
