AI booking agent in Kerikeri.
Built and supported here - the way a Kerikeri business would actually use it.
Kerikeri, up close.
Kerikeri-Waipapa is the largest and fastest growing centre in the Far North, with a strong horticulture industry, and kiwifruit is Northland's largest and most valuable crop.
Kerikeri-Waipapa accounts for 26 per cent of all regional employment in horticulture. Kiwifruit picking and packhouse work run from about March to mid-June.
New kiwifruit orchards keep going in around Kerikeri, and every hectare adds rosters, compliance records and invoices. We build AI that keeps the paperwork in step.
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.

What AI booking agent actually does
Most enquiries go to whoever replies first, not whoever is best. 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.
Already buried in admin? We'll sort the first workflow for you :)
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*

Less admin.
More weekend.
No theatre.
What AI booking agent covers
We'd call the engagement a success when Kerikeri teams are using the system without thinking about us.
- Replies in seconds on WhatsApp, SMS, Instagram, and Messenger - not the next business day
- Acknowledges the customer's actual problem before it asks anything, so it never reads like a bot
- A short question flow that ends in a booking, not an open-ended chat
- Answers your real questions - pricing, parking, insurance, after-hours - from your own website content
- No AI theatre
- No shelfware or licences you do not use
Straight answers
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy AI booking agent into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. WhatsApp Business API sits in your account too - we don't operate it from ours.
Do you have proof this works for Kerikeri businesses?
Direct case study: Replying inside five minutes is the single biggest lever on whether an enquiry books at all. Happy to walk you through full numbers on a call.
How long does AI booking agent take to ship for Kerikeri businesses?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks - narrow scope, real Kerikeri 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 reminders follow the new WoF rules?
They need to. From 1 November 2026 many light vehicles aged 4 to 14 years move to a WoF every two years, and new vehicles get their second WoF at 4 years.
Do you work with Xero?
Yes. Xero is one of the systems we build around, and we connect to the other tools you already run rather than asking you to switch.
