A Fully Managed, "Zero-Subscription, Local-First" Runtime Environment Built for Professionals to Reclaim Data Sovereignty and Eliminate Workplace Frictions

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 26 May 2026 - As generative Artificial Intelligence shifts from "passive chatbots" to "active, autonomous digital agents", the global tech landscape is entering the age of Software 3.0. Today, Sentimento Technologies, a leading tech studio in Hong Kong, is delighted to announce the official launch of MonoClaw—the city's first managed, local AI runtime environment engineered specifically for professionals and small to medium businesses.

MonoClaw deploys a dedicated personal AI secretary named "Mona" with agentic workflows. By hosting large language models (LLMs) directly on the user's own Mac hardware, the system delivers absolute sensitive data privacy, eliminates monthly subscription bills, and offers a seamless, plug-and-play workplace experience. Equipped with 160 pre-bundled professional skills out of the box, operating as a versatile digital secretary, Mona is built to take over time-consuming, repetitive business workflows, allowing professionals across all sectors to explore and unlock new operational efficiencies. Beyond the office, Mona integrates effortlessly into personal life—managing calendars, tracking family chores, and streamlining personal administrative tasks with white-glove precision.

Versatile Applications: Unlocking Human Productivity

MonoClaw is an end-to-end productivity multiplier that masterfully handles both core professional tasks and personal administrative loads. Operating across multiple communication channels, it automatically monitors and captures action items and promises buried inside WhatsApp, Telegram, and your inbox—proactively drafting response templates and flagging pending deliverables before deadlines hit.

At dawn, Mona filters out the noise from your chaotic notifications, calendar entries, and unread mail to generate a concise, structured morning briefing complete with high-priority recommendations. Backed by absolute security, MonoClaw orchestrates precise background workflows—such as web form automation, multi-platform social media pacing, and seamless data shifting across systems—all while remaining anchored to explicit approval boundaries that save users from tedious digital labour.

Three Pillars of Innovation

  1. Absolute Data Sovereignty & Local Processing: MonoClaw securely manages core contextual memory, session history, and sensitive credentials on the user's local device. To support high-performance workloads while respecting data privacy, the system utilizes a default secret redaction mechanism and an isolated local runtime profile. This architecture allows users to seamlessly leverage external cloud capabilities and filtered subprocess environments for risky host operations—such as web searches or specific cloud-model completions—while maintaining a secure, locally controlled baseline for sensitive data.
  2. Zero-Subscription, Zero-Token Asset Investment: By utilizing premier local inference deployment options (such as Gemma 4 via LM Studio), Sentimento introduces a permanent "one-time software license" model. This fundamentally shifts a company's IT overhead from an endless operational expense (OPEX) into a controllable, high-value capital asset (CAPEX), eliminating the pricing unpredictability of cloud token billing.
  3. Auditable Automation via "Human-in-the-Loop" Approval Gates: Automation does not mean losing control. MonoClaw places safety at its core by enforcing hard command boundaries and filtered subprocess environments for all risky host operations, data mutations, or external commands. Mona proactively pushes confirmation requests to the user via Telegram, WhatsApp, or email, executing tasks only upon explicit "one-click approval"—perfectly balancing autonomous efficiency with real-world risk management.

The Visionary Shift

Mr. Billy Zuo, Co-founder and CEO of Sentimento Technologies

, stated: "We are currently witnessing a global wave of adoption for AI secretaries and AI employees, which signifies a paradigm shift in software from manual human operation to AI Autonomous Execution—ushering in the Software 3.0 era. The debut of MonoClaw marks a benchmark for this transformation here in Hong Kong. We have observed that while more businesses embrace cloud-based AI, they often fall into the Privacy Anxiety over data leakage and the Cost Black Hole of the SaaS model. To solve this, MonoClaw strictly adheres to a Local-First principle, ensuring that core data sovereignty is fully returned to the business's local terminal. At the same time, by combining increasingly mature edge-inference technology, we break the shackles of endless subscriptions and respond to the market's demand for cost predictability through a one-time licensing model, helping Hong Kong enterprises achieve true technological transformation while ensuring security and cost control."

Pricing, Hardware Configuration, and Installation

The MonoClaw permanent software license is priced at a one-time fee of HK$28,888 (with a limited-time early bird special price of HK$25,888[1]), structured under a payment milestone of "a 40% deposit + 60% upon final delivery and verification." The Sentimento team handles the full set of localized installation, system integration, and skill validation services. In terms of hardware configuration, users only need to purchase an Apple Mac mini M4 or iMac M4 (or above) to enjoy smooth local inference performance. Furthermore, the product comes with a comprehensive Wiki and dedicated community support, ensuring enterprise or individual users have thorough maintainability and a continuous optimization pathway post-deployment, making an asset-based technology upgrade effortless.

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 26 May 2026 - Parents know that good gut health matters, but terms like gut microbiota, prebiotics, and probiotics can often feel overwhelming and difficult to understand. This World Digestive Health Day (WDHD), Friso, a leading nutrition formula milk brand with over 150 years of Dutch dairy expertise, is simplifying the science behind digestion by bringing to life the concept of a "gut garden" through the sixth edition of its long-standing Good Poop Matters, Baby! campaign.

Through The Secret Garden to Good Poop, Friso aims to help families better understand how everyday habits and nutrition can nurture a healthy digestive system in young children. Over the years, the national campaign has emphasised the important roles a well-balanced diet, regular exercise, and sufficient sleep play in helping young children achieve good poop – and this year's edition spotlights what happens inside the gut, empowering parents with practical ways to support good digestion from within.

Breaking Down the Science of Gut Health

While many parents recognise the importance of good gut health, concepts such as gut microbiota, prebiotics, and probiotics can often feel complex and difficult to grasp.

To bridge this gap, Friso brings these ideas to life with The Secret Garden to Good Poop. Much like a garden, a child's gut needs the right balance of nutrients to thrive. Through this "gut garden" concept, Friso aims to help families better understand everyday habits and the role nutrition plays in nurturing a healthy digestive system, empowering parents with practical knowledge and simple steps to support their child's digestion and overall wellbeing.

"At Friso, we believe good gut health plays a foundational role in a child's growth and development. Through The Secret Garden to Good Poop, we aim to simplify complex concepts like gut microbiota into something parents can easily understand," said Carmen Lim, Brand and Digital Manager, Friso Singapore. "Through an immersive garden experience, we bring Good Poop Matters, Baby! to life, educating families on gut health and showing how daily care and nutrition nurture good digestion, helping build trust from the inside out."

Bringing The Secret Garden to Good Poop to Life

To celebrate WDHD, Friso will host The Secret Garden to Good Poop, an invite-only experiential event held in partnership with The Sundowner, a nature experience centre located at Bukit Timah Fire Station. Invitees will be guided through a curated programme focused on foundational gut health education, including a farm-to-table pizza making workshop that encourages children to "eat the rainbow", bringing the 'gut garden' concept to life.

"At The Sundowner, we've always believed in creating meaningful, nature-led experiences that reconnect families with where their food comes from," said Clarence Chua, Founder, The Sundowner. "Partnering with Friso for The Secret Garden to Good Poop allows us to bring this philosophy to life in a way that is both fun and educational, helping our participants understand the connection between nature, nutrition, and gut health through hands-on activities."

As part of the experience, parents will also gain insights from registered dietitian, Sherllie Kartika, on how to support their child's gut health through everyday nutrition and habits.

Said Sherllie, "Many parents recognise the importance of gut health but may feel overwhelmed by terms like microbiota or pre/probiotics. Using a 'gut garden' analogy can make the concept more approachable, helping parents visualise how everyday habits, such as offering a variety of foods, help nourish beneficial bacteria in the gut. When children's digestive systems are supported in this way, they are better able to digest and absorb the nutrients needed for healthy growth and development."

Friso's Commitment to Care Takes Flight to the Netherlands

As part of its broader commitment to children's gut health, Friso also highlights the role careful milk processing can play in supporting digestion. It was found that high heat treatment can change the structure of milk protein, potentially affecting how easily they are digested. In contrast, gentler processing (or mild heat treatment) approaches may help preserve milk protein closer to its natural state, so it is easy to digest.

This philosophy came to life during a recent trip to the Netherlands, where local singer-songwriter Derrick Hoh and content creator Jeanette Ong visited Friso's farms, R&D facilities, and production sites to better understand how the brand approaches milk production and nutritional care from source to formula.

A Continued Commitment to Gut Health

Since its launch in 2020, Friso's Good Poop Matters, Baby! has been leading advocate for children's gut health in Singapore. Through education, partnerships, and engaging experiences over the years, the campaign has helped parents better understand the role of digestion in their child's overall wellbeing.
