AI knowledge base in New Plymouth.
For New Plymouth operators who want a working pilot in weeks, not a year-long programme.
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.
Taranaki runs on dairy, energy and engineering, with one of the highest GDPs per capita in the country. We automate the tenders, timesheets and compliance that slow it down.

What AI knowledge base actually does
Your team's tribal knowledge, finally searchable. 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.
How much is the admin really costing you?
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*

Real systems.
Zero fluff.
What AI knowledge base covers
If we build the right slice first, New Plymouth teams feel the difference inside the first month.
- Ingests PDFs, Word docs, videos, Slack, Notion, Drive
- Answers with citations back to source documents
- Permission-aware - staff only see what they should
- Detects stale docs and prompts owners to update
- No annual contracts
- No AI theatre
Questions New Plymouth businesses ask
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI knowledge base can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Claude, Pinecone, Vercel AI SDK, Postgres, MCP but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
Can you walk us through a comparable build?
Yes - on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. New staff get to productive 3x faster - less senior-team interruption.
When does AI knowledge base actually pay back?
Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for a New Plymouth - so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
Do you respond to government tenders?
Most large government contracts are advertised on GETS, the Government Electronic Tender Service, where suppliers register with RealMe.
Can AI help with payday filing?
It can prepare it. Employers file employment information every payday, within 2 working days when filing electronically, and automation can have it ready for a person to check.
