We've worked with enough operators in Motueka to know that the brief that arrives in our inbox is rarely the brief that ends up shipped. The first thing we do on any AI translation project is sit with your team for a day before we propose anything.

What's different about doing this work in Motueka.
- Motueka is hops, apples, and a steady tourism flow toward Abel Tasman – AI here helps growers and operators handle peak weeks without panic.
- Horticulture, hospitality serving Abel Tasman tourism, and a small but resilient services sector. AI tools that work for owner-operators fit.
We work with teams across Motueka: Motueka · Mapua · Tasman · Riwaka · Kaiteriteri.

How we build AI translation for a Motueka team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Motueka business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI multilingual + te reo.
Talk to usThe outcome for Motueka teams
Expanded customer reach by 22% with multilingual support live. For Motueka teams, that almost always shows up as fewer interruptions and a calmer week, not a dashboard chart.
Not your typical AI agency.
Honest about what AI can and cannot do
Ships the one workflow that pays for itself
Hours given back, never the size of the invoice
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Questions
FAQ
What's a typical engagement length for Motueka businesses?
Six to twelve weeks for the build, then a short managed-services month while the system goes from "shipped" to "owned by your team". After that you keep us on retainer if you want, or take it from there yourself.
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.
Anyone else in this space using AI translation?
Plenty. Expanded customer reach by 22% with multilingual support live. 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.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default AI translation stack we reach for is Claude, DeepL, ElevenLabs, Vercel, but we'll bend it around whatever you already run – Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Cin7, your own in-house apps. The discovery week maps every data source before any build starts.
The honest version of a sales call.
No deck. No discovery doc. Just whether this is worth building and what it would cost.
