API gateway for Chinese productivity apps

Build bridges between Chinese productivity apps and Western developer tools. For developers needing to integrate with localized platforms.

Why now

Chinese productivity apps are rarely compatible with standard developer workflows.

Who for
Developers integrating Chinese apps
Business model
Usage-based API pricing
Effort
A few months

Many Chinese productivity apps like WorkBuddy don't offer standard API access that Western developers expect. An adapter layer could enable integration.

Create API gateways that expose Chinese apps through standard interfaces like OpenAI's API. Charge based on usage and number of accounts managed.

Start with one popular app before expanding. Maintaining compatibility as apps update is challenging.
