The version of AI translation that works for a Invercargill 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.

Southland
Where Invercargill operators actually lose hours.
- Southland businesses are stoic, practical, and patient – AI gets traction when it shows up working, not promised.
- Dairy, aquaculture, manufacturing, and a tight services market. AI in Southland needs to install once and run quietly for years.
We work with teams across Invercargill: CBD · Hawthorndale · Waikiwi · Bluff · Gore · Riverton.

Questions
FAQ
How long does AI translation take to ship for Invercargill businesses?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks – narrow scope, real Invercargill 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 translation 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 Invercargill businesses are surprised how small the first cheque is.
Anyone else in this space using AI translation?
Plenty. Expanded customer reach by 22% with multilingual support live. 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 translation 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.
