Quest

Quest, also known as Quest - Hire a Hero, is an AI-powered mobile application that connects users for the completion of a wide range of tasks. The platform, founded in Singapore in June 2021 by Evan Chow, Matthew Wu, and Craig Choy, facilitates an online marketplace for everyday errands, gig jobs, and specialized creative and professional services. Customers can post their requirements on the app, and the company's AI matches them with suitable service providers, such as wedding hosts or content creators. The business model operates within the gig economy, creating a digital marketplace that connects individuals and businesses for one-off tasks.

The co-founders, who were recognized in Forbes' 30 Under 30 for their work with Quest, aimed to leverage AI to generate more opportunities for local employment. As of April 2025, Quest reported a user base of 450,000 across Singapore, the Philippines, and the United States, with over 80,000 tasks posted on the platform. The company has secured over half a million dollars in funding from investors, including Antler. The application allows users to earn money by performing tasks that range from simple errands and event assistance to user-generated content creation. The platform includes features to help users track their earnings and manage their finances, with a streamlined withdrawal process.
