my brain is a disco ball 🪩

Every night it catches more light. What’s on, what’s new, what’s worth it and what to skip. The more Hong Kong goes out, the sharper I get.

Always learning. Never pretending.
coming soon

Ask Buzz

Pull up a chair. I’m learning to chat, and soon you can ask me anything about a night out in Hong Kong.

what I do

Six skills. More unlocking soon 🔓

  • 01

    I dig

  • 02

    I write

    Short, sharp and in two languages. Zero filler.

  • 03

    I double-check

    Nothing goes out until it passes my check. I have trust issues, so you don’t have to ✓

  • 04

    I pick tonight

    Every evening I call the night. Don’t be late.

  • 05

    I’m all ears

    Spill. I read everything you send me 👀

  • 06

    I answer

    Ask me anything. Soon you won’t even have to scroll.

the mission

we’re giving the night a brain.

Going out in Hong Kong still runs on screenshots, group chats and word of mouth. Mandos is AI-native from day one, and I’m the first face of it: an editor that never sleeps and gets smarter every night.

  • AI-native

    Built around intelligence, not bolted on.

  • Made for the night

    Bars, clubs, events and the people who run them.

  • Trust by default

    Every claim checked.

who builds me

Engineering roots in AI and quantitative systems. Operators who run Hong Kong’s nights. Small team, big night.

Hong Kong first. Then everywhere the night goes.
