The version of AI agents that works for a Dunedin business is rarely the version a national vendor would sell you. We build the one that fits how your team actually operates – usually with fewer parts than the off-the-shelf pitch.
Otago · Applied AI
For Dunedin operators who want a working pilot in weeks, not a year-long programme.
What AI agents actually does
Autonomous AI agents that don't just answer – they get things done. They check inventory, draft proposals, file paperwork, and chase quotes while your team focuses on the human work.
- 01 Goal-driven agents that complete multi-step tasks
- 02 Connect to your tools – Xero, HubSpot, Gmail, Slack, your CRM
- 03 Human-in-the-loop checkpoints for anything risky
- 04 Full audit log of every action the agent takes

The Dunedin context, plainly.
- Dunedin pairs a strong university research culture with practical southern businesses. AI here means proven tools, not hype.
- Education, health, tech, and a tourism shoulder season that hits hard. AI helps Dunedin teams smooth the peaks and protect the people.
We work with teams across Dunedin: CBD · North Dunedin · South Dunedin · Mosgiel · Port Chalmers · Green Island.

We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Dunedin business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI agents that do work.

Questions
FAQ
What's a typical engagement length for Dunedin 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.
Are there hidden costs we should plan for?
Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.
Do you have proof this works for Dunedin businesses?
Direct case study: Replaces 15+ hours of weekly back-office work per agent deployed. Happy to walk you through full numbers on a call.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default AI agents stack we reach for is Claude Agent SDK, OpenAI Agents, LangGraph, n8n, MCP, 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.
