AI knowledge base in Oamaru.
For Oamaru operators who want a working pilot in weeks, not a year-long programme.
Built around how New Zealand works.
Policies, job manuals and compliance records in one place staff can ask, including Records of Building Work for restricted work.
- Restricted work needs an LBP
- NZISM for government work
- Holidays Act until August 2028
Oamaru services the farms, processors and visitors of the Waitaki. We automate the job cards, stock orders and bookings that keep those small teams stretched.
Oamaru, up close.
The Waitaki is a farming district at heart, with agriculture and related processing providing 27 per cent of jobs, and Oamaru is its largest business centre.
The blue penguins near Oamaru's port have become a significant visitor attraction.
Not your typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.

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.

Straight answers
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 an Oamaru - so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
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.
How do you price AI knowledge base 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.
How does this fit the Public Service AI Framework?
The framework, led by the Government Chief Digital Officer, asks for safe, transparent and accountable AI. Agencies that sign the Algorithm Charter also commit to transparency in how they use algorithms.
Do you respond to government tenders?
Most large government contracts are advertised on GETS, the Government Electronic Tender Service, where suppliers register with RealMe.
