24/7 AI front desk

We'd call the engagement a success when Kerikeri teams are using the system without thinking about us. Captures the 30-40% of enquiries that used to go to voicemail.
What's different about doing this work in Kerikeri.
Kiwifruit, citrus, and a steady hospitality scene serving the Bay of Islands. AI tools that work in low-signal areas land best.

Common questions
Before you book the call.
What's a typical engagement length for Kerikeri businesses? +
Six to twelve weeks for the build, then a short managed-services month while the system goes from "shipped" to "owned by your team". After that you keep us on retainer if you want, or take it from there yourself.
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price? +
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call – fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
Do you have proof this works for Kerikeri businesses? +
Direct case study: Captures the 30-40% of enquiries that used to go to voicemail. Happy to walk you through full numbers on a call.
Can you work with our existing systems? +
Yes. The default AI receptionist stack we reach for is Vapi, Twilio, Claude, Cal.com, Stripe, but we'll bend it around whatever you already run – Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Cin7, your own in-house apps. The discovery week maps every data source before any build starts.
