Starry Research Labs Limited

Starry Research Labs Limited is a Hong Kong-registered company that operates kaucim.ai, a bilingual (and multilingual) online divination platform built around traditional Chinese temple lot-drawing, or kau chim. The site launched on 30 March 2026 with the 100-lot Wong Tai Sin (黃大仙) oracle, followed by an English-language site on 8 April 2026. It now presents five lot systems in total — Wong Tai Sin (100 lots), Che Kung (96), Guanyin (100), the Sixty Jiazi cycle (60) and Guan Di (100) — amounting to 456 lots, with the lot verses and grades preserved from their sources rather than rewritten. The company positions itself as a research lab applying artificial intelligence to traditional Chinese metaphysics. Its free layer includes the lot texts themselves plus a large body of plain-language interpretation: 3,192 pre-written Traditional Chinese interpretations (one per lot per topic), with an additional 700 English and 700 Thai interpretations for the Wong Tai Sin set. Paid offerings include per-reading deep interpretations (priced from HK$18 per reading), Zi Wei Dou Shu (紫微斗數) and BaZi (八字) chart reports, Qimen Dunjia and Meihua Yishu divination, palm reading, compatibility charts, and annual fortune books. The site also sells "lamp" (供燈) memberships — a monthly card at HK$68, a quarterly card at HK$168 and an annual card at HK$388 — which bundle unlimited questions during the lamp period. Starry Research Labs emphasises that its chart calculations are deterministic: Zi Wei Dou Shu charts are generated with the iztro engine and BaZi charts with lunar-typescript, using solar terms as month boundaries, so the same birth time always produces the same chart. Paid interpretations are written by AI models grounded in fixed lot texts or computed charts rather than model memory, and the company states that master interviews were used for model fine-tuning rather than per-reading human review. The company explicitly states it is not affiliated with Sik Sik Yuen (嗇色園), the Chinese Temples Committee, or any temple, and that its readings are for self-reflection and entertainment, not prediction, medical, legal or investment advice. The platform is available in Traditional Chinese, English, Thai and Japanese, and offers iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch apps. According to the site, roughly 20,000 people had used the free readings between May 2026 and September 2026. The company also runs a Threads account (@kaucimai) for divination notes and product updates, and provides customer support via support@kaucim.ai during Hong Kong business hours.

Starry Research Labs Limited is a Hong Kong-registered company that operates the divination website kaucim.ai. The site went live on 30 March 2026 with the 100-lot Wong Tai Sin (黃大仙) oracle, and an English-language version followed on 8 April 2026. The platform now supports Traditional Chinese, English, Thai and Japanese. The company began with the Wong Tai Sin lot system, preserving the lot verses and grades from the Sik Sik Yuen (嗇色園) official lot book without alteration. It then conducted multiple long in-person interviews with Hong Kong fortune-telling masters, using the material to fine-tune its models. Subsequent lot systems were added with their own sourcing: the 96 Che Kung lots were compiled from published editions; the 100 Guanyin lots were compared character by character between Hong Kong and Taiwan transmitted versions, with every discrepancy noted on the page; and the Sixty Jiazi and Guan Di lots — classical public-domain texts shared across temples — were anchored to one temple's version and cross-checked against other sources, with disagreements shown rather than silently resolved. Beyond lot-drawing, the platform added Qimen Dunjia and Meihua Yishu for focused questions, Zi Wei Dou Shu and BaZi chart generation (both free to view in full), palm reading from uploaded photos, and relationship tools including Yue Lao lot-drawing and two-person compatibility charts. It also introduced longer-horizon products such as the annual fortune book (流年隨行), which combines Zi Wei Dou Shu and BaZi with monthly interpretations and follow-up questions, and the 籤譜 (lot record) that stores a user's draws so they can write down intended actions and revisit them later. The company describes its technical approach as deterministic: Zi Wei Dou Shu charts are generated with the iztro engine and BaZi charts with lunar-typescript, using solar terms as month boundaries, so the same birth time always yields the same chart. It states that it does not adjust for true solar time or handle historical time zones, and that result pages say so. Paid interpretations are written by AI models grounded in fixed lot texts or computed charts rather than model memory; for paid lot readings there is a separate per-lot, per-topic draft not present on free pages, and for chart reports the program first computes structural conditions, BaZi deities and cross-chart compatibility before the model may cite those results. The company notes that master interviews were used for model fine-tuning and that no master reviews each interpretation individually. In September 2026 the company ran an offline comparison against general chat assistants. It reported that ChatGPT, asked to draw Wong Tai Sin lots 30 times, produced only 12 distinct numbers; across three models and 87 draws, none of the written lot verses matched the lot book. For BaZi four-pillar readings, ChatGPT was fully correct on 7 of 12 birth times, while Claude and Gemini were not fully correct on any. The company uses these results to argue that its charts are computed rather than recalled, and that any assistant can retrieve a chart from its free chart interface. The company states it is not affiliated with Sik Sik Yuen, the Chinese Temples Committee or any temple, and that its readings are for self-reflection and entertainment rather than prediction or medical, legal or investment advice. It reports that roughly 20,000 people had used the free readings between May and September 2026, based on website analytics. The platform offers iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch apps, with Wong Tai Sin, Guanyin and Che Kung lot texts available offline, and a daily "today and your BaZi" line that can be placed on the home screen. The company maintains a Threads account (@kaucimai) for divination notes and product updates, and customer support via support@kaucim.ai from 11:00 to 23:00 Hong Kong time, typically replying within an hour for first responses.
