AI translation in Dunedin.
AI translation designed around the way a Dunedin team actually runs.
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.
On the tools or running at scale, the admin still eats the week :)
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.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
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.
Made for New Zealand paperwork.
Translates rosters, safety notices and customer messages for staff and customers who work in more than one language.
- Health and safety sits with the business
- The Public Service AI Framework
- Government work is tendered on GETS

Questions Dunedin businesses ask
Can you walk us through a comparable build?
Yes - on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. Expanded customer reach by 22% with multilingual support live.
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 translation specifically, we typically run that work on Claude, DeepL, ElevenLabs, Vercel and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
How fast could we have AI translation in production?
Eight to ten weeks for most Dunedin businesses. Faster if your data is in good shape and slower if we're untangling a legacy integration first. We'll give you a realistic number on the scoping call rather than the optimistic one.
Can it remind us about the annual return?
Yes. Every company must file an annual return with the Companies Office each year, separate from its tax return.
Can you work to the NZISM?
The NZISM is the government's information security manual and is written for vendors serving agencies as well as the agencies themselves, so government-adjacent work should be built to it.
