Three AI systems for Hong Kong's only youth hockey development program that places players into Canadian schools. An agent pipeline for school matching, a marketing orchestrator for growth, and a nutrition tracker for athletes — one client, one evolving infrastructure.
RISE is the only program in Hong Kong that develops young hockey players and places them into Canadian schools with strong hockey programs. Founded by people who went through the pipeline themselves, they know the path works. But running it at scale meant drowning in manual work across three fronts.
Recruitment: Player assessments lived in notebooks. School research was done by hand, one school at a time. Applications were tracked in shared spreadsheets that nobody updated consistently.
Marketing: Content was ad hoc. No publishing calendar, no competitor tracking, no performance analysis. Instagram growth had flatlined.
Athlete health: Nutrition guidance was verbal. Coaches told players to "eat better" with no tracking, no data, no way to follow up.

We built three systems for RISE that work independently but share context. Each one addresses a different part of the business: finding the right players, growing the brand, and keeping athletes healthy.
Three systems where there were zero. Player matching that used to take months of coordination now runs in weeks. Marketing that was ad hoc now has a 6-role AI team planning, creating, and measuring every week. Nutrition tracking that didn't exist now has athletes logging daily with streak data coaches can actually act on.
None of the systems replace human judgment. Coaches make placement decisions. The marketing team approves content before it ships. Athletes and their families decide what to eat. The agents do the research, the analysis, and the repetitive work — so the humans can focus on the decisions that matter.
