AI personalisation in Kaikōura.
AI personalisation that lives in your stack, not on a vendor's roadmap. Shipped from Canterbury.
Kaikōura welcomes around a million visitors a year. We automate bookings, enquiries and reviews so small teams keep up with big seasons.
Not your typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
What AI personalisation actually does
Every customer sees the right product, message, and offer - based on what they've bought, browsed, and asked. With the right workflow automated, nine hours of admin a week could drop to about one.*
*Illustrative example only, based on 9 hours a week of admin falling to about 1 hour a week. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
Conversion lift of 18-32% over generic site experiences. For Kaikōura teams, that almost always shows up as fewer interruptions and a calmer week, not a dashboard chart. Kiwi Dynamics
On the tools or running at scale, the admin still eats the week :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.

How much is the admin really costing you?
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*

What Kaikōura runs on.
Tourism, directly and indirectly, is the major contributor to Kaikōura's GDP, built on whales, the coastline and crayfish, alongside the district's fishing and farming heritage.
A deep undersea canyon brings Giant Sperm Whales close to the coast, and Whale Watch has run since 1987.
Straight answers
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. Conversion lift of 18-32% over generic site experiences.
What's the realistic timeline for AI personalisation with a Kaikōura?
Most Kaikōura businesses have their first usable slice in week 5 or 6. We'd rather ship narrow and real than broad and aspirational - your team gets to use the thing well before the engagement is "done".
What happens if we want to swap a vendor out later?
AI personalisation is built behind a small adapter layer specifically so swapping a model provider or a data source is a one-day job, not a re-architecture. Claude, Vercel Edge, Postgres, Klaviyo are our defaults, but the build is intentionally portable.
Can it keep track of ACC levies?
Yes. ACC work levies are set by the classification unit your work falls under, and self-employed people are invoiced after filing their tax return.
Can it remind us about the annual return?
Yes. Every company must file an annual return with the Companies Office each year, separate from its tax return.
