AI knowledge base in Palmerston North.
Built and supported here - the way a Palmerston North business would actually use it.
From one-person trades to national organisations, we find the hours :)
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.
Palmerston North moves freight for much of the country and hosts the Linton and Ohakea defence bases. We automate dispatch, bookings and reporting for the firms serving them.
Made for New Zealand paperwork.
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
- GST at 15 per cent
- 11 public holidays, plus yours
Definitely not a typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.

Questions Palmerston North businesses ask
How long does AI knowledge base 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.
Are there hidden costs we should plan for?
Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.
Anyone else in this space using AI knowledge base?
Plenty. New staff get to productive 3x faster - less senior-team interruption. 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.
Do you work with Xero?
Yes. Xero is one of the systems we build around, and we connect to the other tools you already run rather than asking you to switch.
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.
