AI agents in Nelson.
Built and supported here - the way a Nelson business would actually use it.
What AI agents actually do
Autonomous AI agents that don't just answer - they get things done. 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.
Seafood, forestry and horticulture move through Nelson every day. We build AI that handles the shipping paperwork, compliance records and invoicing that follow them.
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.
What Nelson runs on.
Nelson Tasman has the fastest growing blue economy in the country, and Nelson is home to Australasia's biggest fishing port.
Sealord, Talley's and NZ King Salmon all operate from the region. Nelson Anniversary Day falls on on or near 1 February.
Definitely not a typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. 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.*
*Illustrative, based on 9 hours a week of admin at a typical 80% automation rate. The calculator uses your own numbers.
One workflow.
In production.
In weeks.

Straight answers
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
