AI Consultant · New Zealand
AI integration for
NZ businesses.
We help New Zealand SMEs cut through the AI hype and actually implement the tools that move the needle. Practical, integrated, and built to hand over.
The Honest Reality
Most NZ businesses are getting 10% of the AI value available.
Your team probably has ChatGPT subscriptions. Maybe a few people use Claude. Someone tried Perplexity that one time. Reality is, none of it's really changing how the business runs.
That's not because the tools don't work — they do. It's because using AI as a casual chatbot is fundamentally different from integrating AI into your workflows. You need the right tools matched to the right tasks, prompts that produce consistent output, integrations into systems you already use, and team training so adoption sticks.
That's what we do. Not slide decks. Not strategy reports. Working AI systems integrated into your actual business.
Where AI actually fits.
These are the use cases we set up most often for NZ clients. Real workflows, real time savings, measurable outcomes.
Content & Marketing Teams
AI workflows that produce 80%-quality first drafts your team polishes — blog posts, email campaigns, social content, ad copy, briefs. Save hours every week without losing brand voice.
Sales Teams
AI-assisted research, proposal drafting, follow-up sequences, meeting summaries, and CRM updates. Your reps spend more time selling, less time on admin.
Customer Service
Internal AI assistants trained on your help docs that answer staff questions instantly. AI-drafted responses to enquiries that humans review and send. Faster response times without growing the team.
Operations & Admin
Document processing, invoice handling, internal reporting, meeting notes. The unsexy admin work that eats hours of your week — AI handles most of it.
Internal Knowledge
Custom GPTs and Claude Projects trained on your company docs, processes, and product info. New staff onboard faster, existing staff find answers without interrupting each other.
Reporting & Analytics
Automated weekly performance reports, AI-powered data summaries, plain-English explanations of what the numbers mean. Reporting your team actually reads.
The tools we work with.
We're tool-agnostic but opinionated. Here's what we typically recommend and why.
Claude
Our default for content, copy, complex thinking, and any task that benefits from longer context windows.
ChatGPT
General workflows, image generation, voice modes, and broad team adoption — most teams already have a license.
Make / n8n / Zapier
Automation platforms that connect AI to the tools you already use — no engineers needed.
Custom GPTs / Claude Projects
Branded, internal AI assistants trained on your business — for sales, support, onboarding, and research.
Cursor / Claude Code
AI-assisted development tools we use to build websites and internal apps quickly.
Perplexity & AI Search
Research workflows that pull from current sources — much faster than traditional research.
The Engagement
Audit first. Build second. Hand over.
Phase 1 — AI Audit ($1,500 NZD)
Two weeks. We map your business, identify the highest-leverage use cases, recommend the tool stack, and produce a complete written playbook. No obligation to implement with us afterwards.
Phase 2 — Implementation (Custom)
If you want us to build it, we scope and quote based on what the audit recommended. Tool setup, integration, custom prompts and assistants, team training, full handover. Fixed-price, no hourly billing.
Proof, Not Pitch
We use AI to run our own business.
The website you're reading was built with Claude Code. Our content workflows, analytics, attribution, and reporting all use AI. We're not selling you something we're still figuring out — we're selling you what we run ourselves.
Common questions.
What does an AI consultant actually do?
We help your business figure out where AI can add real value, choose the right tools, integrate them into your existing workflows, and train your team to use them. The output is a working AI-supported business — not a slide deck.
Where are you based and do you work nationally?
We're based in Kihikihi, Waikato, but we work with NZ businesses nationally. Most of the work is done remotely via video call, with on-site visits when it makes sense. Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Tauranga, Dunedin — we work everywhere.
Why work with a NZ consultant rather than offshore?
Three reasons. One — same timezone, faster turnaround, easier communication. Two — we understand NZ business context, regulations, and customer expectations. Three — we sit alongside your team rather than handing over a report and disappearing.
What does it cost?
Our entry point is the AI Audit at $1,500 NZD. You get a complete playbook covering tool stack, workflows, and rollout. If you want us to implement it, we scope and quote separately based on what the audit recommends. No hourly billing.
How long does an engagement take?
The audit takes 2 weeks. Implementation depends on scope — typically 4-8 weeks. We move fast because we use these tools every day ourselves, not learning on your time.
What size businesses do you work with?
Mostly NZ SMEs between $500K and $20M in revenue. Big enough to have processes worth integrating AI into, small enough that a focused consultant makes a real difference. We occasionally work with larger businesses.
Do we need to be technical?
No. Everything we set up is designed to be used by your existing team in their normal workflow. No engineers, no AI specialists, no separate team to manage. The whole point is that it just becomes part of how you work.
What tools do you typically recommend?
Our default stack includes Claude, ChatGPT, automation platforms like Make and n8n, and integrations with whatever you already use — HubSpot, Salesforce, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Notion, Slack. The exact stack depends on your business.
