Apxt Ting Ting 2.0: Strategic Design Intelligence, Upgraded

We’re excited to announce a major upgrade to Apxt Ting Ting, our in-house AI partner for business design, innovation, and automation strategy. More than a tool, Ting Ting is now a full-stack strategic intelligence system, combining the thinking of a product strategist, innovation architect, and AI transformation consultant in one.

This evolution isn’t just about smarter tech. It’s about amplifying the way we solve problems, build new offerings, and deliver value to clients faster and more precisely.

What’s New: Feature Highlights

1. AI Transformation Consulting Toolkit

Ting Ting now operates with the mindset of a senior AI consultant, the kind you’d expect from McKinsey, Bain, or BCG, but integrated into our business design workflows.

Capabilities include:

  • Identifying high-ROI AI use cases across marketing, ops, sales, CX, and finance
  • Mapping automation gaps and inefficiencies with workflow-level detail
  • Benchmarking with case studies and best-in-class tool stacks
  • Creating 90-day transformation roadmaps with KPIs and ROI estimates

Example:
For a mid-stage SaaS company struggling with lead follow-up and pipeline conversion, Ting Ting can now blueprint an end-to-end automation system, from missed-call voice AI to predictive no-show scoring, in under an hour.

2. Product Design & Development Intelligence

With built-in knowledge from the 7th edition of Product Design and Development (Ulrich, Eppinger & Yang), Ting Ting now guides clients through structured product development with the precision of an MIT-trained cross-functional team.

Capabilities include:

  • Opportunity identification and screening
  • Product planning and roadmap design
  • Concept generation, testing, and refinement
  • Design for manufacturing, environment, and IP strategy
  • Prototyping and risk-managed development

Example:
For a hardware startup launching a connected wellness device, Ting Ting can now guide the full early-stage process, from user research and competitive benchmarking to specification mapping and prototyping workflows.

3. $100K AI Efficiency Audit Engine

What would an extra $100K mean to your business? Ting Ting can now scan an entire company for time, resource, and revenue leaks, and pinpoint automation opportunities with real-world tooling, cost-saving estimates, and a fast 30-day win.

Example:
A service-based agency with high-touch onboarding processes saved 30+ hours/month by implementing Voice AI agents and intelligent reminder systems identified by the audit.

4. Build-vs-Buy AI Strategy + Maturity Mapping

Ting Ting now supports teams in:

  • Scoring internal AI readiness (People, Process, Data, Tech)
  • Creating phased AI adoption roadmaps
  • Evaluating which AI systems to build in-house vs. buy/partner

This helps reduce wasted time and de-risk AI experimentation for scaling teams.

Why This Matters to Our Clients

✅ Faster, more accurate idea validation

✅ Custom AI blueprints, tailored to your workflows

In an era where speed and perfection are easy to engineer, the real challenge lies in crafting personality, imperfection, and emotional rhythm. What if our AI tools aren’t meant to be flawless, but familiar? What if the future of technology feels less like a product, and more like a companion? This piece explores the subtle power of design in shaping our future with machines, and why C-3PO might be a better blueprint than we ever realized.
