Four steps, tailored to how your company really runs.

01

02

Find the bottlenecks

We map where work slows down and match each problem to the AI or digital fix that solves it.

03

Implement

We plan the rollout, integrate the tools and rework the workflows around them with your team.

04

Review and refine

We measure what changed, adjust what didn't land, and keep improving from there.

Questions people ask us

What does Yoka do?

Yoka is an AI consultancy. We find where a company loses time and money, decide where AI pays off, build the custom tools and automations to fix it, and get the team running them.

Who do you work with?

Founders and leadership teams at growing companies, often their marketing, design and operations teams. We are based in Manila and work with companies across Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Europe.

Do we need a technical team?

No. We build tools for people who don't write code, and hand them over with simple guides so your team can run them.

How long does a project take?

Small tools can be working within days. Strategy work and larger rollouts usually take a few weeks.

How much does it cost?

Every project is scoped to the problem. Start with a short conversation, and we will tell you honestly whether we can help and what it would take.

Which AI tools do you use?

We pick per job, often Claude for logic and writing, plus specialist tools for voice, video and images, and build on tools you already pay for where we can.
