Voice AI agents in Motueka.
For Motueka operators who want a working pilot in weeks, not a year-long programme.
An AI agency, minus the theatre.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
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.
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.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
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.*

Motueka, up close.

Built around how New Zealand works.
Voice agents answer calls, book jobs and take messages after hours and in busy season, so no enquiry ends in voicemail.
- Consent first, sign-off after
- Restricted work needs an LBP

42% of after-hours calls now booked without human input. For Motueka teams, that almost always shows up as fewer interruptions and a calmer week, not a dashboard chart. Kiwi Dynamics
Questions Motueka businesses ask
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.
How long does voice AI agents take to ship for Motueka businesses?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks - narrow scope, real Motueka 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.
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.
Can it keep our building records in order?
Yes. Restricted building work must be done or supervised by a Licensed Building Practitioner, who provides a Record of Building Work, and AI can keep those filed per job.
