AI agents in Masterton.
Built and supported here - the way a Masterton business would actually use it.
Farms, forestry crews and Martinborough vineyards all do business through Masterton. We automate the quoting, job tracking and invoicing that keeps them supplied.
Definitely not a typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
What AI agents actually do
Autonomous AI agents that don't just answer - they get things done. 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 team.
Real systems.
Zero fluff.

What Masterton runs on.
Agriculture and forestry are the Wairarapa's most important industries, and Masterton is the services and commercial hub for that farming and forestry economy.
Grape growing and winemaking around Martinborough is the core of the Wairarapa's horticulture.
How much is the admin really costing you?
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*

Questions Masterton businesses ask
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy 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. Claude Agent SDK sits in your account too - we don't operate it from ours.
How long does AI agents take to ship for Masterton businesses?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks - narrow scope, real Masterton 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 AI help with payday filing?
It can prepare it. Employers file employment information every payday, within 2 working days when filing electronically, and automation can have it ready for a person to check.
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.
