AI HR assistant in Kerikeri.
AI HR assistant that lives in your stack, not on a vendor's roadmap. Shipped from Northland.
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.
What AI HR assistant actually does
An AI HR assistant trained on your policies, awards, and the Employment Relations Act. 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.
Built differently, on purpose.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
On the tools or running at scale, the admin still eats the week :)
The questions a public sector buyer asks, answered up front: privacy impact, the NZISM, where the data lives and how an algorithm is held to account.

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.
HR enquiries drop 65% in the first month - leaders get their week back. For Kerikeri teams, that almost always shows up as fewer interruptions and a calmer week, not a dashboard chart. Kiwi Dynamics

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.
Straight answers
What tools do you build AI HR assistant on?
For AI HR assistant we usually reach for Claude, Employment Hero API, BambooHR, Vercel. We're tool-agnostic at heart - we pick what your Kerikeri team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.
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".
Anyone else in this space using AI HR assistant?
Plenty. HR enquiries drop 65% in the first month - leaders get their week back. 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 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.
