WhatsApp Chatbots, Website Design & AI Automation for Singapore Small Businesses

Ethan Ng designs and deploys AI-powered automation for law firms accounting practices clinics consultancies small businesses — so the slow, repetitive parts of your day run themselves.

I build WhatsApp chatbots that handle client enquiries 24/7, modern websites with embedded AI assistants that turn visitors into bookings, and workflow automation that quietly removes manual busywork.

No technical knowledge needed on your side. I scope it, build it, host it, and keep it running.

One person, every line of code. No account managers, no handoffs, no "let me check with the dev team." When something needs fixing, you talk to the person who built it.

I. What I Build

Four ways to put your business on autopilot.

i

AI WhatsApp Chatbots

Automate client intake, route enquiries, answer FAQs — 24/7, in any language. Reduce the need for dedicated phone lines and manual follow-ups.

ii

Workflow Automation

Identify and eliminate operational bottlenecks. I map your current processes, find where time is lost, and build systems that handle it automatically.

iii

Websites & AI Assistants

Modern, fast websites for small businesses — optimised for search and built for conversion. Every site ships with an optional embedded AI assistant that answers visitor questions and books calls around the clock.

iv

Managed AI Infrastructure

I build, host, and maintain your AI systems. You stay focused on your business — I handle updates, monitoring, and improvements.

II. The Process

Simple from start to finish.

I handle everything technical. You tell me the problem — I identify the right solution, build it, and keep it running.

Most clients are live within two weeks.

01 / Discovery

A conversation, not a pitch.

I learn about your business, your current workflows, and where you're losing time or clients. No deck. Just questions.

02 / Design

A solution shaped to fit.

I propose a specific system tailored to your needs — with clear costs, clear timelines, and clear outcomes. No vague AI promises.

03 / Build

Deployed and tested.

I build and launch your system. You test it in real conditions, give feedback, and I refine until it's working the way you'd want it to.

04 / Support

It keeps getting better.

I maintain and improve your system on a simple monthly retainer. No surprise invoices. No version-locked dead ends.

III. Selected Work

A glimpse at what's possible.

Legal · SingaporeCase 01
[01]

A boutique law firm — WhatsApp intake, automated.

Five lawyers. New enquiries were sitting unanswered until someone noticed. I built a WhatsApp system that responds instantly, handles PDPA consent in English or Mandarin, routes by area of law, and books straight into the right lawyer's Outlook calendar.

24/7 intake at a tenth the cost of a junior hire

VI. Questions, Answered

Things worth asking.

Most clients are live within two weeks of the discovery call. Smaller systems can go faster; more complex multi-system builds may take longer. Either way, you'll have clear milestones from the start.
Yes — modern, fast, mobile-ready websites for small businesses and professional services. Designed for conversion, optimised for SEO, and with an optional embedded AI assistant that answers visitor questions and books calls. Brochure and one-page sites typically ship within two weeks.
No. I handle every technical decision and every line of code. You only need to know your own business well enough to tell me what's eating your time. I translate that into a system.
That's exactly what the monthly retainer covers. Most businesses evolve faster than they expect — I update, extend, and rebuild systems as your workflows shift, with no surprise invoices.
On reputable cloud infrastructure with appropriate data protection agreements in place. I never sell or share your data. The Privacy Policy below covers this in full.
Yes — that's usually the point. I integrate with WhatsApp, email, calendar systems, CRMs, spreadsheets, and most common SaaS tools. If you've already invested in software, I work around it, not against it.
You message me. I monitor every system I build, so most issues I catch before you do — but if something does go wrong, I respond fast and fix it. That's part of the retainer.
No lock-ins. The monthly retainer rolls month to month. If it stops being useful, you stop paying. That said, most clients stay because their systems keep getting more valuable as I refine them.
VII. The Calendar

Pick a time, we'll talk.

Thirty minutes. No deck, no pressure. Just a conversation about what your business spends too much time on — and whether AI can take some of it off your plate.

VIII. Direct Lines

Or simply send a note.

If a calendar booking isn't your style, write directly. I read everything and reply within 24 hours.

A note on the author.

Ng Zhen Yang, Ethan is a Singapore-based independent technology contractor who builds AI-powered automation systems, WhatsApp chatbots, and modern websites for small businesses. He specialises in WhatsApp chatbot development, website design and development, workflow automation, and managed AI infrastructure for professional services firms including law practices and accounting firms. He operates under the trading name Ng Zhen Yang, Ethan.

Most AI services either hand you a generic chatbot and walk away, or build something complex you then have to manage yourself. He does neither — scoping the problem, building the system, hosting it, and improving it over time, so it gets more useful instead of becoming a dead end you paid for once.

He works on a monthly retainer with no lock-in, is honest about what AI can and can't do, and builds so that clients keep full ownership of their own data.
