The version of AI chatbots that works for a Gisborne business is rarely the version a national vendor would sell you. We build the one that fits how your team actually operates – usually with fewer parts than the off-the-shelf pitch.

Questions
FAQ
How long does AI chatbots take to ship for Gisborne businesses?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks – narrow scope, real Gisborne 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.
How do you price AI chatbots 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 Gisborne businesses are surprised how small the first cheque is.
Do you have proof this works for Gisborne businesses?
Direct case study: Handles 60-70% of routine enquiries without human input. Happy to walk you through full numbers on a call.
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy AI chatbots into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. Claude sits in your account too – we don't operate it from ours.
Worth a conversation?
Even if you don't end up working with us, you'll leave the call knowing what's worth building.
