AI photo tagging in Kaikōura.
Built and supported here - the way a Kaikōura business would actually use it.

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.*

Business in Kaikōura.
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.
Small team.
Real systems.
Zero fluff.

Questions Kaikōura businesses ask
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call - fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI photo tagging can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Claude Vision, Replicate, Cloudinary, Vercel but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
Anyone else in this space using AI photo tagging?
Plenty. Photo admin time cut from hours per week to minutes. 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 it keep our building records in order?
Yes. Restricted building work must be done or supervised by a Licensed Building Practitioner, who provides a Record of Building Work, and AI can keep those filed per job.
Does it keep up with KiwiSaver changes?
It has to. The minimum employer contribution rose to 3.5 per cent on 1 April 2026 and rises to 4 per cent on 1 April 2028.
