We've worked with enough operators in Nelson 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 agents project is sit with your team for a day before we propose anything.

Built and supported here – the way a Nelson business would actually use it.
What AI agents actually does
Autonomous AI agents that don't just answer – they get things done. They check inventory, draft proposals, file paperwork, and chase quotes while your team focuses on the human work.
- 01 Goal-driven agents that complete multi-step tasks
- 02 Connect to your tools – Xero, HubSpot, Gmail, Slack, your CRM
- 03 Human-in-the-loop checkpoints for anything risky
- 04 Full audit log of every action the agent takes

Why Nelson businesses are a fit for this.
- Nelson is creative, outdoorsy, and full of clever small businesses – AI here is about giving owner-operators their evenings back.
- Aquaculture, hops, tourism, and a deep creative sector. Nelson teams want tools that fit a smaller crew without enterprise overhead.
We work with teams across Nelson: CBD · Stoke · Tahunanui · Richmond · Motueka · Brightwater.

How we build AI agents for a Nelson team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Nelson business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI agents that do work.
Talk to usThe outcome for Nelson teams
The shape of the result for Nelson teams: Replaces 15+ hours of weekly back-office work per agent deployed. Built on Claude Agent SDK, hardened with the rest of the stack as it scales.
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 Nelson 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.
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call – fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
Has this actually shipped for a real Nelson?
Yes. Replaces 15+ hours of weekly back-office work per agent deployed. We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default AI agents stack we reach for is Claude Agent SDK, OpenAI Agents, LangGraph, n8n, MCP, 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.
Worth a conversation?
Even if you don't end up working with us, you'll leave the call knowing what's worth building.
