The version of AI HR assistant 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 HR assistant 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 HR assistant 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.
Anyone else in this space using AI HR assistant?
Plenty. HR enquiries drop 65% in the first month – leaders get their week back. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" – it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy AI HR assistant 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.
