AI translation in Greymouth.
Built and supported here - the way a Greymouth business would actually use it.
Business in Greymouth.
Greymouth is the commercial, professional, retail and manufacturing centre of the West Coast, and much of the servicing for coal, gold and aggregate mining is based there.
The Grey District has about 30 per cent of the West Coast's mining employment.
Mining, dairy and tourism all lean on Greymouth for servicing and supplies. We build AI that handles the job sheets, compliance and invoicing behind that work.
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.
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.
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
- NZISM for government work
- The Public Service AI Framework
Not your typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Small team.
Real systems.
Zero fluff.

Questions Greymouth businesses ask
Has this actually shipped for a real Greymouth?
Yes. Expanded customer reach by 22% with multilingual support live. We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call - fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default AI translation stack we reach for is Claude, DeepL, ElevenLabs, Vercel, but we'll bend it around whatever you already run - Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Cin7, your own in-house apps. The discovery week maps every data source before any build starts.
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.
Can the AI run on New Zealand-hosted cloud?
Yes, the options now exist. Microsoft opened a New Zealand cloud region in December 2024 and AWS followed in September 2025, both with local data residency.
