Otago · Applied AI

AI HR and people ops, built for businesses operating in Oamaru.

The version of AI HR assistant that works for a Oamaru business is rarely the version a national vendor would sell you. We build the one that fits how your team actually operates – usually with fewer parts than the off-the-shelf pitch.

What AI HR assistant actually does

  • 01 Answers leave, pay, and policy questions 24/7

  • 03 Screens CVs against role criteria with reasoning
  • 04 Flags ER risks before they become disputes

The outcome for Oamaru teams

HR enquiries drop 65% in the first month – leaders get their week back. For Oamaru 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

Questions

FAQ

How long does AI HR assistant take to ship for Oamaru businesses?

We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks – narrow scope, real Oamaru 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.

How do you price AI HR assistant engagements?

Fixed-scope pilots first, then either project pricing or a small monthly retainer for the ongoing work. No long lock-ins, no 18-month black-box deals. Most Oamaru businesses are surprised how small the first cheque is.

What's the realistic outcome for Oamaru businesses?

HR enquiries drop 65% in the first month – leaders get their week back. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.

Who owns the code and the model setup?

You do, on delivery. We deploy AI HR assistant into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. Claude sits in your account too – we don't operate it from ours.
