Semantic search (RAG) in Kerikeri.
Semantic search (RAG) designed around the way a Kerikeri team actually runs.
An AI agency, minus the theatre.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
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 semantic search (RAG) actually does
Search that understands intent, not just keywords. 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.
Small crew or big organisation, the busywork is the same :)
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.

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.*
*Illustrative, based on 9 hours a week of admin at a typical 80% automation rate. The calculator uses your own numbers.
What Kerikeri runs on.
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.
Less admin.
More weekend.
No theatre.

Good questions, answered
What does semantic search (RAG) cost for a Kerikeri?
Pilots start from a fixed scope priced to land a measurable result inside 6 weeks. Pricing depends on data volume, integration complexity, and whether you need us on managed services afterwards. We'll quote precisely after a 30-minute scoping call.
Do you have proof this works for Kerikeri businesses?
Direct case study: Average search time drops from 6 minutes to 12 seconds. Happy to walk you through full numbers on a call.
What if our Kerikeri doesn't have any data ready?
Most don't. Getting the data into shape - ingestion, cleaning, the lightweight contracts you need before any model is useful - is part of the engagement. For semantic search (RAG) specifically, we typically run that work on Pinecone, Claude, Postgres pgvector, Vercel AI SDK and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
Does scheduling handle public holidays?
It should. New Zealand has 11 national public holidays, including Matariki, plus a regional anniversary day that depends on where your business is.
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.
