The version of voice AI agents that works for a Kerikeri business is rarely the version a national vendor would sell you. We build the one that fits how your team actually operates – usually with fewer parts than the off-the-shelf pitch.

The Kerikeri context, plainly.
- 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.

Questions
FAQ
How long does voice AI agents 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.
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.
Can you walk us through a comparable build?
Yes – on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. 42% of after-hours calls now booked without human input.
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy voice AI agents into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. Vapi sits in your account too – we don't operate it from ours.
