AI agents in Motueka.
AI agents that do work - wired into a Motueka workflow, not bolted on the side.
When picking starts, Motueka growers take on hundreds of seasonal workers. We automate onboarding, timesheets and payday filing so harvest is not buried in forms.
Built around how New Zealand works.
Agents prepare the admin every New Zealand employer owes, like payday filing within 2 working days and GST returns, for a person to approve.
- Payday filing, every payday
- GST at 15 per cent
- ACC levies set by industry
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.*
*Illustrative, based on 9 hours a week of admin at a typical 80% automation rate. The calculator uses your own numbers.
Definitely not a typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
From one-person trades to national organisations, we find the hours :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.

What changes for Motueka teams after this lands: the work that used to need a person stays done, the work that needs a person gets done with their attention undivided. Replaces 15+ hours of weekly back-office work per agent deployed. Kiwi Dynamics
Good questions, answered
What happens if we want to swap a vendor out later?
AI agents is built behind a small adapter layer specifically so swapping a model provider or a data source is a one-day job, not a re-architecture. Claude Agent SDK, OpenAI Agents, LangGraph, n8n, MCP are our defaults, but the build is intentionally portable.
What does AI agents cost for a Motueka?
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.
What's the realistic timeline for AI agents with a Motueka?
Most Motueka businesses have their first usable slice in week 5 or 6. We'd rather ship narrow and real than broad and aspirational - your team gets to use the thing well before the engagement is "done".
Do you work with Xero?
Yes. Xero is one of the systems we build around, and we connect to the other tools you already run rather than asking you to switch.
Can it keep track of ACC levies?
Yes. ACC work levies are set by the classification unit your work falls under, and self-employed people are invoiced after filing their tax return.
