The studio

Small studio.
Serious output.

TaskDriver is an NZ-based AI automation and web studio serving New Zealand and Australia. One senior team takes your project from strategy to production — no handoffs, no middle layers.

Manifesto

Why we exist

TaskDriver ships fixed-scope systems — priced up front, delivered to production, working from day one. A typical engagement runs from a one-week automation sprint to a 4–8 week build, with the price fixed in writing before we start. Most agencies sell decks, workshops and open-ended retainers instead. We don't.

The people who scope your project are the same people who design it, build it and run it. No account managers, no handoffs, no telephone game between strategy and code.

We're based in New Zealand and work with businesses across NZ and Australia — close enough to your timezone to answer the same day, senior enough that you never explain things twice.

And we don't disappear after launch. The systems we build keep running because we keep running them — monitored, maintained and improved in production.

04Fast answers, same-day replies
05Run it after we build it

Values

What we optimise for

01

Innovation

We work at the edge of what AI can actually do right now — and only ship the parts that hold up in production. No demos that fall over the week after launch.

02

Accessibility

Serious automation shouldn't be enterprise-only. Fixed pricing, plain language and sensible scope keep real systems within reach of real businesses.

03

Excellence

Every build is judged on outcomes — hours saved, revenue moved, systems still running months later. If it doesn't hold up in the numbers, it doesn't ship.

Who you actually work with

Robert Iuoras

Founder & lead architect

Scopes, designs and ships every TaskDriver build — the person on your first call is the person writing the code. No account managers, no handoffs between strategy and delivery.

  • Built Ebb, a Stripe revenue-recovery product, end to end
  • Shipped WhatsApp quote automation for Australian Power
  • Delivered ops automation and web for Second to None and Invest With Alison

How we work with you

The answers people ask for before they book — cost, timeline, ownership, and what happens when something breaks.

What does it cost?
Fixed scope, quoted in writing before anything starts. An ops teardown is $250 AUD (45-minute call plus a written automation plan, credited toward any build). A one-week automation sprint is $990 AUD. Larger systems usually land between $2k–$4k AUD. No retainers, no hourly billing.
How long does it take from first contact to go-live?
A teardown call is usually booked within a few days. A sprint is one week end to end. Chatbots typically go live in 1–2 weeks; larger workflow systems in 4–8 weeks. You get dated milestones in writing before work starts.
What happens after launch — do you keep running it, or do I take over?
You own it. Everything runs in your accounts, on your keys, and we hand over the code, the docs and the logins at the end of the build. Nothing is locked to us.
If something breaks or needs a tweak, how is that handled and at what cost?
Anything we built that breaks is fixed free for 30 days after handover. After that, fixes are quoted per job or covered by an optional monthly care plan — your choice, and never a condition of the build. New scope is quoted as a new fixed-scope sprint.
How much of my time does this take?
About two hours in total: one 45-minute call, giving us access to the tools involved, and one review round before go-live. We do the rest.
What proof do you have that this works?
Named, checkable builds rather than anonymous case studies: Ebb (Stripe revenue recovery), Australian Power (WhatsApp quote automation), Second to None (painting and renovation ops), Invest With Alison (financial-education funnel) and an AI tools directory. Each one is written up on this site with what was built and what changed.
