*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Small crew or big organisation, the busywork is the same :)
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.
What AI HR assistant actually does
An AI HR assistant trained on your policies, awards, and the Employment Relations Act. With the right workflow automated, nine hours of admin a week could drop to about one.*
*Illustrative example only, based on 9 hours a week of admin falling to about 1 hour a week. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
One workflow.
In production.
In weeks.

Already buried in admin? We'll sort the first workflow for you :)
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*

Good questions, answered
What's the realistic outcome for Pukekohe businesses?
HR enquiries drop 65% in the first month - leaders get their week back. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
How fast could we have AI HR assistant in production?
Eight to ten weeks for most Pukekohe businesses. Faster if your data is in good shape and slower if we're untangling a legacy integration first. We'll give you a realistic number on the scoping call rather than the optimistic one.
What if our Pukekohe doesn't have any data ready?
Most don't. Getting the data into shape - ingestion, cleaning, the lightweight contracts you need before any model is useful - is part of the engagement. For AI HR assistant specifically, we typically run that work on Claude, Employment Hero API, BambooHR, Vercel and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
What happens when the Holidays Act is replaced?
The Employment Leave Act 2026 replaces it on 6 August 2028. Until then payroll follows the current Holidays Act, so leave calculations need to handle today's rules and the changeover.
Do you respond to government tenders?
Most large government contracts are advertised on GETS, the Government Electronic Tender Service, where suppliers register with RealMe.
