Questions
FAQ
How quickly can we see something running?
Week three for a clickable internal demo against real data. Week six for a slice your team can actually use. We hold ourselves to those numbers because they're what stops a project drifting into "endless discovery".
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for Kaikōura businesses that aren't sure whether the build is worth doing at all. You get a one-page write-up of what we'd build, what we'd skip, and what it would cost. About 30% of those discoveries end with us recommending you don't proceed.
Do you have proof this works for Kaikōura businesses?
Direct case study: 42% of after-hours calls now booked without human input. Happy to walk you through full numbers on a call.
What tools do you build voice AI agents on?
For voice AI agents we usually reach for Vapi, Retell, Twilio, OpenAI Realtime. We're tool-agnostic at heart – we pick what your Kaikōura team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.
