AI photo tagging in Dunedin.
Built and supported here - the way a Dunedin business would actually use it.
What AI photo tagging actually does
Job-site photos, property listings, product shots, before/afters - auto-tagged, captioned, and filed in seconds. 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.
Already buried in admin? We'll sort the first workflow for you :)
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*
*Illustrative, based on 9 hours a week of admin at a typical 80% automation rate. The calculator uses your own numbers.
Not your typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
One workflow.
In production.
In weeks.

What Dunedin runs on.
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.
On the tools or running at scale, the admin still eats the week :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.

Straight answers
What's the realistic outcome for Dunedin businesses?
Photo admin time cut from hours per week to minutes. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
How do you price AI photo tagging engagements?
Fixed-scope pilots first, then either project pricing or a small monthly retainer for the ongoing work. No long lock-ins, no 18-month black-box deals. Most Dunedin businesses are surprised how small the first cheque is.
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI photo tagging can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Claude Vision, Replicate, Cloudinary, Vercel but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
What happens when the Holidays Act is replaced?
The Employment Leave Act 2026 replaces it on 6 August 2028. Until then payroll follows the current Holidays Act, so leave calculations need to handle today's rules and the changeover.
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.
