AI HR assistant in Hamilton.
AI HR and people ops - wired into a Hamilton workflow, not bolted on the side.
Hamilton mixes healthcare, manufacturing and the agritech that turns up at Fieldays every June. We build AI for the admin those businesses still do by hand.

- No AI theatre
- No shelfware or licences you do not use
What Hamilton runs on.
Healthcare is Hamilton's largest employment sector at 16 per cent of jobs, alongside manufacturing, logistics, education and tech, and the University of Waikato and Wintec make it a centre of learning and research.
Fieldays at Mystery Creek is the Southern Hemisphere's largest agricultural event. Fieldays runs at Mystery Creek every June.
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.
Built differently, on purpose.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
From one-person trades to national organisations, we find the hours :)
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.

Straight answers
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for Hamilton businesses that aren't sure whether the build is worth doing at all. You get a one-page write-up of what we'd build, what we'd skip, and what it would cost. About 30% of those discoveries end with us recommending you don't proceed.
What if our Hamilton 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 HR assistant specifically, we typically run that work on Claude, Employment Hero API, BambooHR, Vercel and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
How fast could we have AI HR assistant in production?
Eight to ten weeks for most Hamilton 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.
What does the Privacy Commissioner expect before we use AI?
Senior leadership sign-off, a check that the tool is necessary and proportionate, and a privacy impact assessment before it goes live.
Do you respond to government tenders?
Most large government contracts are advertised on GETS, the Government Electronic Tender Service, where suppliers register with RealMe.
