Oursky is a software product studio proudly based in Hong Kong, comprising a diverse and socially progressive team of experts working remotely from different locations. We are a technology-oriented and developer-driven team who values craftsmanship.
Our mission is to create open-source solutions to help enterprises in digital transformation and support developers in building secure and privacy-aware software. We are self-funded, ensuring our engineering culture and excellence are built into our digital products.
Oursky’s Professional Services team builds digital products with great user experience for clients all over the world. We provide user interface and user experience (UI/UX) design, agile software development, QA as a Service, and product management services for clients that range from rockstar startups to multinationals like Standard Chartered Bank, A.S. Watson Group, and Nvidia.
We also have a machine learning team that provides machine learning and data warehouse services.
Our products include:
- Authgear — an open-source auth-as-a-service solution for consumer-facing web and mobile applications. Authgear is developer-friendly with opinionated defaults. It helps developers improve security of their apps by easily enabling 2FA, session management, and passwordless login out of the box. Authgear helps businesses unify the authentication experience across multiple platforms with simple integration.
- FormX.ai — we help businesses understand documents with latest AI technologies. FormX is an API that extracts structured information from mobile device-captured documents or forms. Our clients range from Shopping Malls who want to extract product line items from receipts to recommend better offers to customers, to Governments who want to speed up approval process by verifying address and name from bank statements automatically.
- Gesprek — an open-source social commerce software for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). We unify different chat channels such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, or email, and make it easy for sales teams to perform conversational sales with customers by integrating various customer relationship management (CRM) and e-commerce platforms.
We have a strong engineering culture. We use the latest programming languages (most of our codes are in Python and Go, but we also use Haskell, Rust, and other new languages experimentally), employ a high standard of code review, and adopt streamlined internal tools for DevOps and continuous integration (CI).
