We've worked with enough operators in Kaikōura to know that the brief that arrives in our inbox is rarely the brief that ends up shipped. The first thing we do on any AI knowledge base project is sit with your team for a day before we propose anything.
If we build the right slice first, Kaikōura teams feel the difference inside the first month. New staff get to productive 3x faster – less senior-team interruption.
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.
How long does AI knowledge base take to ship for Kaikōura businesses? +
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks – narrow scope, real Kaikōura 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.
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.
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. New staff get to productive 3x faster – less senior-team interruption.
Who owns the code and the model setup? +
You do, on delivery. We deploy AI knowledge base 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.
