About Frontier Technology
From language understandingto enterprise AI built to be audited.
Founded in Kaohsiung, Taiwan in 2015, Frontier Technology builds enterprise AI grounded in years of Chinese natural language processing research. We serve government agencies and enterprises that need AI to run inside their own walls, and we engineer every layer ourselves — from hardware integration and on-premises inference to the user interface.

01 — Who we are
Connecting AI to a knowledge base takes a weekend. Keeping it running for three years under government audits, listed-company internal controls and data protection law takes the fourth layer: governance.
Our flagship platform, AMAS, turns scattered documents and system data into knowledge that people can search and auditors can trace — every answer cited, every access filtered by permission and recorded.
We are equally at home on Azure, GCP and AWS. When we go on-premises, it is because the client needs it — not because we cannot do cloud.

Technology that earns its place in real work.
To help businesses and institutions put AI and information technology to work: solving real problems, raising performance and creating lasting value.
Core values
- 01Innovation
- 02Teamwork
- 03Shared Purpose
- 04Client First
What we aspire to be To build a technology company with a human outlook — one whose software makes a lasting, practical and positive contribution to clients, the environment and society.
