AI knowledge base in Dunedin.
For Dunedin operators who want a working pilot in weeks, not a year-long programme.
What AI knowledge base actually does
Your team's tribal knowledge, finally searchable. With the right workflow automated, nine hours of admin a week could drop to about one.*
*Illustrative example only, based on 9 hours a week of admin falling to about 1 hour a week. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
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.
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. New staff get to productive 3x faster - less senior-team interruption. Kiwi Dynamics
From one-person trades to national organisations, we find the hours :)
The questions a public sector buyer asks, answered up front: privacy impact, the NZISM, where the data lives and how an algorithm is held to account.

How it works in Dunedin
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.
Definitely not a typical AI agency.

Straight answers
What's the realistic outcome for Dunedin businesses?
New staff get to productive 3x faster - less senior-team interruption. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
How long does AI knowledge base take to ship for Dunedin businesses?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks - narrow scope, real Dunedin businesses data, measurable outcome. From there it's another 6-8 weeks of hardening before you'd consider it production. Full rollouts (multiple sites, multiple teams) typically land in 3-4 months.
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.
Can AI help with payday filing?
It can prepare it. Employers file employment information every payday, within 2 working days when filing electronically, and automation can have it ready for a person to check.
How does this fit the Public Service AI Framework?
The framework, led by the Government Chief Digital Officer, asks for safe, transparent and accountable AI. Agencies that sign the Algorithm Charter also commit to transparency in how they use algorithms.
