Otago · Applied AI

AI strategy that lives in your stack, not on a vendor's roadmap. Shipped from Otago.

Dunedin businesses don't need another generic AI pitch. AI strategy only earns its keep when it's built around the workflow you actually run on a wet Tuesday, and that's how we scope every engagement we take on in Otago.

What AI strategy actually does

A clear-eyed AI roadmap built for your business – not a generic deck. We sit with your team, map the high-value plays, and write the build order. You leave with a plan you could actually start tomorrow.

  • 01 On-site discovery with the people doing the work
  • 02 Ranked initiatives with ROI, effort, and risk
  • 03 Tool selection – not married to any vendor
  • 04 Phased 90-day plan you can execute or hand off

Built on: Claude Notion Miro Linear

What we keep seeing in Dunedin.

  • 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.

How we build AI strategy for a Dunedin team.

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 roadmap + plan.

The outcome for Dunedin teams

If we build the right slice first, Dunedin teams feel the difference inside the first month. Most plans pay for themselves in the first build.

Not your typical AI agency.

How much is not automating costing you?

Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. With Kiwi Dynamics, that drops to about 52.

Questions

FAQ

What's the realistic timeline for AI strategy with a Dunedin?

Most Dunedin businesses have their first usable slice in week 5 or 6. We'd rather ship narrow and real than broad and aspirational – your team gets to use the thing well before the engagement is "done".

Is AI strategy worth it for a smaller Dunedin?

Often, yes – and counterintuitively the ROI is sometimes faster than for the big end of town because there's less integration overhead. We'll tell you honestly on the scoping call if it isn't.

Has this actually shipped for a real Dunedin?

Yes. Most plans pay for themselves in the first build. We'll share comparable engagements on the call.

What happens if we want to swap a vendor out later?

AI strategy is built behind a small adapter layer specifically so swapping a model provider or a data source is a one-day job, not a re-architecture. Claude, Notion, Miro, Linear are our defaults, but the build is intentionally portable.

Sketch this with us.

We'll map your real workflow before quoting anything.
