Search that understands intent, not just keywords. With the right workflow automated, nine hours of admin a week could drop to about one.*

Straight answers
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. Semantic search (RAG) can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Pinecone, Claude, Postgres pgvector, Vercel AI SDK but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
Has this actually shipped for a real Palmerston North?
Yes. Average search time drops from 6 minutes to 12 seconds. We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
When does semantic search (RAG) actually pay back?
Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for a Palmerston North - so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
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.
Is our data kept in New Zealand?
Kiwi Dynamics hosts its own infrastructure in New Zealand, under New Zealand governance. If personal information ever has to go offshore, privacy principle 12 requires comparable protection.
