You don't need an AI department. You need one automation that gives your team hours back. We find it, build it, prove the return, then help you scale from there.

  • Start with the single highest-ROI task, not a platform overhaul
  • Built on the tools you already pay for, with no rip-and-replace
  • Fixed-scope pricing so you only pay for measurable results
  • Ongoing support so it keeps working as you grow

Start small, prove it, then scale

We pick one high-return task, ship it in weeks, and use the time and money it saves to fund the next automation, with low risk and compounding upside. That is the opposite of the usual mistake, which is trying to do everything at once.

Automations that pay for themselves

These are the four tasks we automate most often for small teams. each one typically pays for itself within the first month.

  • Instant quotes and proposals from a short intake form
  • Automatic follow-ups so no lead goes cold
  • A chatbot that answers your most common questions 24/7
  • Weekly reports built and sent without anyone touching a spreadsheet

Frequently asked questions

Is AI worth it for a small business?
Yes, when it targets a specific repetitive task rather than 'AI' in the abstract. A single automation for quoting, follow-ups, reporting, or answering common customer questions can give a small team back hours every week. We start with the one task where the return is clearest, so the first project pays for itself.
We don't have a big budget. Where do we start?
With a fixed-scope audit and one automation, not a platform overhaul. You only pay for work with a measurable return, and each build stands on its own. That keeps the risk small and lets results fund the next step.
Do we need technical staff to run it?
No. We build automations on top of the tools you already use and hand over something your team can operate without code. We also stay on for support so it keeps working as your business changes.
What kinds of small businesses do you work with?
Trades, professional services, e-commerce, clinics, agencies, and local operators across New Zealand and Australia. If your team repeats the same admin every day, there's usually an automation worth building.

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?
The diagnostic is free: 30 minutes plus a written plan, with no charge and no obligation. After that it depends on the job, so we quote each one in writing on fixed scope rather than publishing a band: one workflow set up end to end, a full AI and automation build, or a website fix or rebuild. Ongoing Care after launch is optional and monthly. AUD, and no hourly billing. We work the number out with you on the call.
How long does it take from first contact to go-live?
The diagnostic is usually booked within a few days. A quick setup is normally done inside a week. Chatbots and single workflows typically go live in 1–2 weeks; larger automation systems in 4–8 weeks, and a website rebuild in 2–5 weeks depending on the number of pages. 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, and everything we run reports a heartbeat so we usually know before you do. After that, fixes are quoted per job or covered by an optional monthly care plan. It is your choice and never a condition of the build. New scope is quoted as a new fixed-scope build.
How much of my time does this take?
About two hours in total: one 30-minute diagnostic 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: 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.
