For Palmerston North operators who want a working pilot in weeks, not a year-long programme.

Book a demo

Most of our Palmerston North engagements start the same way: a 20-minute call where the owner describes a workflow we've heard before in shape but never in detail. AI chatbots is then designed against the detail, not the shape.

What AI chatbots actually does

Trained on your business, not Wikipedia. AI assistants that answer pricing, hours, availability, bookings – and escalate cleanly when the customer needs a human.

  • 01 Trained on your documents, FAQs, and past tickets
  • 02 Books appointments, takes deposits, qualifies leads
  • 03 Live hand-off to a human when needed
  • 04 Daily quality reports so you stay in control

Built on: Claude OpenAI Custom RAG pipelines

Why Palmerston North businesses are a fit for this.

  • Palmerston North is a logistics, research, and Defence hub – AI here is about coordinating moving pieces across distances.
  • Manawatū agriculture, distribution centres, AgResearch, and the university anchor a steady, practical economy. AI lands well when it respects how things already work.

We work with teams across Palmerston North: CBD · Hokowhitu · Awapuni · Roslyn · Feilding · Ashhurst.

How we build AI chatbots for a Palmerston North team.

We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Palmerston North business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI customer support.

Questions

FAQ

How long does AI chatbots take to ship for Palmerston North businesses?

We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks – narrow scope, real Palmerston North 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 chatbots 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 Palmerston North businesses are surprised how small the first cheque is.

Anyone else in this space using AI chatbots?

Plenty. Handles 60-70% of routine enquiries 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.

Who owns the code and the model setup?

You do, on delivery. We deploy AI chatbots 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.

Worth a conversation?

Even if you don't end up working with us, you'll leave the call knowing what's worth building.
