AI social media in Kaikōura.
AI social manager, built for businesses operating in Kaikōura.
Small crew or big organisation, the busywork is the same :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
Kaikōura welcomes around a million visitors a year. We automate bookings, enquiries and reviews so small teams keep up with big seasons.
Definitely not a typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
What AI social media actually does
An AI social manager that writes captions in your voice, picks the right photos from your library, and posts on a schedule that actually fits your week - across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and TikTok. With the right workflow automated, nine hours of admin a week could drop to about one.*

How it works in Kaikōura
We find the one workflow costing Kaikōura businesses the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
Small team.
Real systems.
Zero fluff.
What AI social media covers
What changes for Kaikōura teams after this lands: the work that used to need a person stays done, the work that needs a person gets done with their attention undivided.
- Captions and hashtags trained on your brand voice
- Pulls and rotates assets from your existing photo library
- Schedules across platforms with NZ-time aware posting
- Replies to DMs and comments with human-in-the-loop
- No shelfware or licences you do not use
- No annual contracts
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
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy AI social media 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.
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.
How long does AI social media 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.
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.
Is our data kept in New Zealand?
Kiwi Dynamics hosts its own infrastructure in New Zealand, under New Zealand governance. If personal information ever has to go offshore, privacy principle 12 requires comparable protection.
