AI email triage in Kerikeri.
Built and supported here - the way a Kerikeri business would actually use it.
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.
Business in Kerikeri.
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.
Built differently, on purpose.

How it works in Kerikeri
We find the one workflow costing Kerikeri businesses the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
One workflow.
In production.
In weeks.

Questions Kerikeri businesses ask
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy AI email triage 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.
How do you price AI email triage engagements?
Fixed-scope pilots first, then either project pricing or a small monthly retainer for the ongoing work. No long lock-ins, no 18-month black-box deals. Most Kerikeri businesses are surprised how small the first cheque is.
How long does AI email triage 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 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.
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.
