We send engineers to your office,
rolling out AI department by department.

AI Advisory provides a team of four advisors who give the business leader strategic direction, methodologies, and decision support, while execution is handled by the client's internal team (CNY 100,000 per quarter, CNY 300,000 per year). Enterprise AI Deployment (FDE) embeds an on-site team within the company, starting in one department and expanding AI across the entire organization over 12 months, taking full ownership of deployment outcomes (CNY 2,000,000 annual contract). You can start with advisory to set the direction before deciding whether to move forward with FDE.

FDE stands for Forward Deployed Engineer, a model pioneered by Palantir in the 2010s: engineers are deployed directly on-site with clients to solve problems end-to-end until systems are fully operational. It is not sales, consulting, IT implementation, or outsourcing; it delivers working business operations.

Traditional FDE is engineer-led, primarily serves large enterprises with mature data infrastructure, and requires clients to articulate their own technical requirements. Starbox FDE builds on technical engineering with 15 years of B2B experience across consulting, marketing, outsourcing, and training, backed by insights from serving over 500 enterprises: we diagnose your business and map your processes before building AI agents, structuring the requirements even when you cannot fully articulate them.

Six steps: enterprise audit and mapping, in-depth requirement discovery, end-to-end SOP optimization, agentifying repetitive tasks, department-level AI adoption, and using proven methods to minimize trial and error. Stage one typically starts with marketing, expanding department by department each quarter across the entire company.

Marketing feels the pain most acutely, results are quantifiable, the learning curve is low, and best practices are easily replicated, making it easiest to deliver results first. Starbox uses the DDABC full-funnel marketing model (Positioning, Discovery, Trust, Conversion, Retention) to fully validate the workflow in marketing before rolling it out to operations, customer service, and back-office functions.

Eight proprietary enterprise assets: the platform foundation, enterprise knowledge base, process and SOP systems, role capability distillation, custom workplace AI agent matrix, DDABC full-funnel marketing tailored to your industry, your team's operational AI capabilities, and industry-benchmark solutions built through year-round coaching.

No. FDE consultants orchestrate, supervise, and provide hands-on coaching without doing the employees' daily work for them. Success means that once Starbox steps back, your own team continues working efficiently with AI, rather than relying indefinitely on external staff.

Five steps: initial alignment to confirm direction; developing an implementation plan and deploying the first AI agents in a single department (about 15–30 days); roadshow and internal rollout guidance; fine-tuning in real-world workflows for about 1 month; and finalizing an annual agreement after the trial period. An initial intent deposit is paid at kickoff and fully credited toward the annual contract upon signing.

Q1 focuses on overall rollout and initial department implementation, completing platform infrastructure, the knowledge base, the full DDABC lifecycle, role competency distillation, complete SOPs, and the first wave of AI agents—representing the most intensive investment. Q2 and Q3 expand department by department with ongoing optimization. Q4 solidifies across all departments, establishing industry solutions and benchmark case studies.

Enterprises that already recognize the value of AI, want systematic rollout, and require deep customization tailored to their specific workflows. If you only need standard products, you can directly use Starbox GEO, the New Media Content Factory, or Starbox Starbox!.

Annual master agreement: ¥2,000,000 for 12 months, paid in four quarterly installments. Includes FDE on-site consulting, the Starbox platform, knowledge base setup, workflow mapping and SOP optimization, R&D and deployment of the first batch of departmental AI agents, team training, platform content production usage, and ongoing customer success support. A ¥50,000 deposit is required at kickoff: fully credited toward the agreement fee if signed; if not signed, converted into the fee for upfront planning and initial agent deployment, non-refundable.
