GTC (Go-to-China) agent

Hardware founders visiting Shenzhen face a fragmented, overwhelming landscape: critical knowledge is buried across outdated guides, gated WeChat groups, and personal networks. No tool actually acts for them. GTC Agent changes that. It's not a chatbot that gives advice, it's an agent that executes multi-step workflows on your behalf: 1. Action engine: drafts bilingual supplier outreach messages (English + Chinese), generates personalized pre-trip checklists, parses BOMs and suggests sourcing options, and tracks production timelines with reminders 2. Curated knowledge base: fine-tuned with RAG on first-hand experience from a 2-month China hardware residency, with vetted factory contacts across categories (motors, CNC, PCB, casting, batteries), sourcing platforms, and on-the-ground navigation tips. The knowledge base grows with every conversation: user tips, factory reviews, and sourcing insights are captured, verified, and folded back in, so the agent gets smarter the more founders use it. 3. Network connector: matches founders to verified suppliers, makerspaces, and key ecosystem contacts based on what they're building The agent reasons about each founder's experience level, project type, and journey phase to adapt its responses. A first-timer gets step-by-step logistics guidance, a repeat visitor gets straight to factory intros.
