AI app development in Dunedin.
Apps with AI built in - wired into a Dunedin workflow, not bolted on the side.
How the work runs
We find the one workflow costing Dunedin businesses the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
Dunedin runs on health, education and professional services, where every hour lost to paperwork is an hour away from students, patients and clients. We give it back.
Dunedin, up close.
Dunedin's economy is led by healthcare and social assistance, education and training, and professional, scientific and technical services, and the University of Otago contributes about 15 per cent of the city's GDP.
The University of Otago supports about 9 per cent of Dunedin's workforce. Otago Anniversary Day falls on on or near 23 March.
Built differently, on purpose.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Built around how New Zealand works.
AI features that handle personal information under the Privacy Act 2020, with processing kept on the phone when the data should not leave it.
- What the Privacy Commissioner expects
- Personal data sent offshore
- Serious breaches get reported
Less admin.
More weekend.
No theatre.
What you get
What changes for Dunedin teams after this lands: the work that used to need a person stays done, the work that needs a person gets done with their attention undivided.
- Camera, voice and document understanding designed into the core screens
- On-device models for offline use and sensitive data, cloud models where they earn their place
- Models post-trained for New Zealand English and local context where that fits
- Evaluations and guardrails shipped with the app, tested before release
- No shelfware or licences you do not use
- No AI theatre
From one-person trades to national organisations, we find the hours :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
Good questions, answered
What's the realistic outcome for Dunedin businesses?
You try the AI feature on a real phone against your own documents or photos before the rest of the app is built. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
What if our Dunedin doesn't have any data ready?
Most don't. Getting the data into shape - ingestion, cleaning, the lightweight contracts you need before any model is useful - is part of the engagement. For AI app development specifically, we typically run that work on Swift, Kotlin, Expo, Core ML, LiteRT and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
What does AI app development cost for a Dunedin?
Pilots start from a fixed scope priced to land a measurable result inside 6 weeks. Pricing depends on data volume, integration complexity, and whether you need us on managed services afterwards. We'll quote precisely after a 30-minute scoping call.
What does the Privacy Act 2020 mean for AI?
The same rules apply as for any system holding personal information. A breach that could cause serious harm must be reported to the Privacy Commissioner, who expects it within 72 hours.
Does scheduling handle public holidays?
It should. New Zealand has 11 national public holidays, including Matariki, plus a regional anniversary day that depends on where your business is.
