The version of AI chatbots that works for a Kaikōura 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.
The shape of the result for Kaikōura teams: Handles 60-70% of routine enquiries without human input. Built on Claude, hardened with the rest of the stack as it scales.
The Kaikōura context, plainly.
Marine tourism, accommodation, hospitality, and a tight local services sector. AI tools that speak multiple languages and handle weather pivots earn keep.

Common questions
Before you book the call.
What's a typical engagement length for Kaikōura businesses? +
Six to twelve weeks for the build, then a short managed-services month while the system goes from "shipped" to "owned by your team". After that you keep us on retainer if you want, or take it from there yourself.
Are there hidden costs we should plan for? +
Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.
Anyone else in this space using AI chatbots? +
Plenty. Handles 60-70% of routine enquiries without human input. 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.
Can you work with our existing systems? +
Yes. The default AI chatbots stack we reach for is Claude, OpenAI, Custom RAG pipelines, 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.
The honest version of a sales call.
No deck. No discovery doc. Just whether this is worth building and what it would cost.
