Voice AI agents in Oamaru.
AI phone agents - wired into an Oamaru workflow, not bolted on the side.
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.
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.
Knows the New Zealand rules.
Voice agents answer calls, book jobs and take messages after hours and in busy season, so no enquiry ends in voicemail.

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.
42% of after-hours calls now booked without human input. For Oamaru teams, that almost always shows up as fewer interruptions and a calmer week, not a dashboard chart. Kiwi Dynamics
How much is the admin really costing you?

Straight answers
What tools do you build voice AI agents on?
For voice AI agents we usually reach for Vapi, Retell, Twilio, OpenAI Realtime. We're tool-agnostic at heart - we pick what your Oamaru team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.
Anyone else in this space using voice AI agents?
Plenty. 42% of after-hours calls now booked without human input. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" - it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for Oamaru businesses that aren't sure whether the build is worth doing at all. You get a one-page write-up of what we'd build, what we'd skip, and what it would cost. About 30% of those discoveries end with us recommending you don't proceed.
Will it work alongside Fergus or Tradify?
We build around the tools you already run instead of replacing them. Fergus and Tradify are both job management tools built in New Zealand for trades.
Can it keep track of ACC levies?
Yes. ACC work levies are set by the classification unit your work falls under, and self-employed people are invoiced after filing their tax return.
