AI HR assistant in Motueka.
AI HR assistant designed around the way a Motueka team actually runs.
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.
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.
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.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
What AI HR assistant actually does
An AI HR assistant trained on your policies, awards, and the Employment Relations Act. 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.
What Motueka runs on.
Motueka is a horticulture hub that hosts hundreds of seasonal workers at harvest, and horticulture and fruit growing is the Tasman District's biggest export industry.
Motueka is also the name of a hop variety grown in the district. Harvest brings hundreds of seasonal workers for fruit crops and hops.
Definitely not a typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
One workflow.

Straight answers
What tools do you build AI HR assistant on?
For AI HR assistant we usually reach for Claude, Employment Hero API, BambooHR, Vercel. We're tool-agnostic at heart - we pick what your Motueka team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.
Anyone else in this space using AI HR assistant?
Plenty. HR enquiries drop 65% in the first month - leaders get their week back. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" - it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for Motueka businesses that aren't sure whether the build is worth doing at all. You get a one-page write-up of what we'd build, what we'd skip, and what it would cost. About 30% of those discoveries end with us recommending you don't proceed.
Can it remind us about the annual return?
Yes. Every company must file an annual return with the Companies Office each year, separate from its tax return.
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.
