When Traditional Fortune Telling Meets AI Innovation

“HKChat” online fortune stick feature is designed to be simple and easy to use. Users can simply click "Fortune Sticks” on the “HKChat” homepage to enter the virtual fortune stick cylinder interface. Two types of readings are available, namely “Basic Reading” and “Master In-Depth Reading”. Basic readings are unlimited and free of charge, allowing users to explore their Year of the Horse fortune freely. Meanwhile, each Master In-Depth Reading costs 20 points, with a maximum of 5 uses per day.

After the users click “Shake Sincerely,” an “AI Master” appears virtually to draw a fortune stick. The content of the fortune sticks is sourced from Wong Tai Sin Temple. Each fortune stick comes with detailed interpretations and explanations to help users understand its meaning.

By clicking “Master In-Depth Reading," the system offers four major options, “Comprehensive”, “Relationship”, “Wealth”, and “Career”. The “AI Master” then provides immediate advice for the selected category. Whether you are asking about romantic relationships or seeking wealth, the AI Master can conduct an in-depth reading of your questions. The in-depth reading provides a line-by-line interpretation of the fortune text and offers short-term, medium-term, and long-term recommendations on actions, strategies, and mindset based on the user's selected category. You can also click “Share Today's Luck” to share the fortune text with friends and family.

As Hong Kong’s locally developed AI chatbot application, HKChat currently boasts over 720,000 registered users. Recognized for its “biliterate and trilingual” capabilities and extensive local knowledge base, the application has become a trusted “AI assistant” for efficient interaction and information retrieval among Hong Kong citizens. Meanwhile, JD Kai Bo Supermarket has been rooted in the Hong Kong retail market for nearly 30 years. Supported by JD.com’s robust global supply chain, it has earned significant consumer trust while establishing a comprehensive “New Retail” presence across both online and offline channels. This partnership marks a milestone in resource sharing and synergy to build a new “AI + Retail” ecosystem.

Under the terms of the agreement, the strategic collaboration will focus on three core pillars:

• Mutual User Empowerment: Both parties will utilize their respective user bases and channel advantages to drive new user growth and achieve precise cross-segment marketing, thereby expanding market reach.

• Integrated Loyalty Systems: The points systems of HKChat and JD Kai Bo Supermarket will be fully integrated. This allows users to exchange points across both platforms, offering enhanced consumer benefits and convenience while fostering customer loyalty.

• Technical Scenario Integration: HKChat will deploy its mature intelligent dialogue technology to upgrade the AI features within JD Kai Bo’s shopping ecosystem. Users will be able to perform product inquiries, place orders, and seek consultations through natural language interaction, significantly improving shopping efficiency and experience.

This partnership represents a major step for HKChat in commercializing R&D achievements and expanding AI application scenarios. It is a critical strategic move to accelerate digital upgrades and enhance service competitiveness for JD Kai Bo Supermarket. By combining HKChat’s technological edge with JD Kai Bo Supermarket’s retail expertise, the collaboration will not only provide users with a dual experience of “intelligent interaction and convenient consumption” but also explore innovative AI-powered models for the retail industry.
