Semantic search (RAG) in Greymouth.
Semantic search (RAG) designed around the way a Greymouth team actually runs.
What Greymouth runs on.
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.
Built differently, on purpose.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
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.

Ask questions across your manuals, contracts and records and get answers with the source attached, not a guess.

How it works in Greymouth
We find the one workflow costing Greymouth businesses the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
Straight answers
What if our Greymouth 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 semantic search (RAG) specifically, we typically run that work on Pinecone, Claude, Postgres pgvector, Vercel AI SDK and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
What does semantic search (RAG) cost for a Greymouth?
Pilots start from a fixed scope priced to land a measurable result inside 6 weeks. Pricing depends on data volume, integration complexity, and whether you need us on managed services afterwards. We'll quote precisely after a 30-minute scoping call.
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. Average search time drops from 6 minutes to 12 seconds.
Do you respond to government tenders?
Most large government contracts are advertised on GETS, the Government Electronic Tender Service, where suppliers register with RealMe.
Do you work with Xero?
Yes. Xero is one of the systems we build around, and we connect to the other tools you already run rather than asking you to switch.
