Most of our Kerikeri engagements start the same way: a 20-minute call where the owner describes a workflow we've heard before in shape but never in detail. AI translation is then designed against the detail, not the shape.

What's different about doing this work in Kerikeri.
- Kerikeri is horticulture, tourism, and a fast-growing lifestyle community – AI here is about connecting orchard, paddock, and storefront.
- Kiwifruit, citrus, and a steady hospitality scene serving the Bay of Islands. AI tools that work in low-signal areas land best.
We work with teams across Kerikeri: Kerikeri central · Waipapa · Kaitāia · Russell · Paihia · Mangonui.
Talk to us about this →How we build AI translation for a Kerikeri team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Kerikeri business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI multilingual + te reo.

Questions
FAQ
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.
Are there hidden costs we should plan for?
Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.
What's the realistic outcome for Kerikeri businesses?
Expanded customer reach by 22% with multilingual support live. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default AI translation stack we reach for is Claude, DeepL, ElevenLabs, Vercel, 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.
