AI HR assistant in Queenstown.
AI HR and people ops, built for businesses operating in Queenstown.
How the work runs
We find the one workflow costing Queenstown businesses the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
Queenstown staffs up for the ski season, then again for summer. We automate rostering, onboarding and guest enquiries so each new season starts without the scramble.
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.

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.
What you get
We'd call the engagement a success when Queenstown teams are using the system without thinking about us.
- Answers leave, pay, and policy questions 24/7
- Drafts contracts, warnings, and PIPs from templates
- Screens CVs against role criteria with reasoning
- Flags ER risks before they become disputes
- No shelfware or licences you do not use
- No AI theatre
Built differently, on purpose.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Queenstown, up close.
Tourism is the foundation of the Queenstown Lakes economy, and the district hosts far more international visitors per resident than much larger cities.
Coronet Peak and The Remarkables draw skiers from around the world. Winter ski season runs from June, and summer brings adventure tourism, with both peaks needing temporary staff.
Good questions, answered
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default AI HR assistant stack we reach for is Claude, Employment Hero API, BambooHR, Vercel, but we'll bend it around whatever you already run - Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Cin7, your own in-house apps. The discovery week maps every data source before any build starts.
Can you walk us through a comparable build?
Yes - on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. HR enquiries drop 65% in the first month - leaders get their week back.
What's a typical engagement length for Queenstown businesses?
Six to twelve weeks for the build, then a short managed-services month while the system goes from "shipped" to "owned by your team". After that you keep us on retainer if you want, or take it from there yourself.
Can you work to the NZISM?
The NZISM is the government's information security manual and is written for vendors serving agencies as well as the agencies themselves, so government-adjacent work should be built to it.
Can the AI run on New Zealand-hosted cloud?
Yes, the options now exist. Microsoft opened a New Zealand cloud region in December 2024 and AWS followed in September 2025, both with local data residency.
