Most of our Cromwell engagements start the same way: a 20-minute call where the owner describes a workflow we've heard before in shape but never in detail. AI chatbots is then designed against the detail, not the shape.

Central Otago
Where Cromwell operators actually lose hours.
- Central Otago is wine, horticulture, and a tourism corridor that connects Wānaka and Queenstown – AI here turns short seasons into solid years.
- Vineyards, cherry and stone-fruit orchards, and accommodation serving year-round tourist flows. AI tools that handle seasonal staffing earn keep fast.

Questions
FAQ
What's a typical engagement length for Cromwell businesses?
Six to twelve weeks for the build, then a short managed-services month while the system goes from "shipped" to "owned by your team". After that you keep us on retainer if you want, or take it from there yourself.
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call – fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
What's the realistic outcome for Cromwell businesses?
Handles 60-70% of routine enquiries without human input. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default AI chatbots stack we reach for is Claude, OpenAI, Custom RAG pipelines, but we'll bend it around whatever you already run – Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Cin7, your own in-house apps. The discovery week maps every data source before any build starts.
