The version of AI HR assistant that works for a Queenstown business is rarely the version a national vendor would sell you. We build the one that fits how your team actually operates – usually with fewer parts than the off-the-shelf pitch.
What AI HR assistant actually does
An AI HR assistant trained on your policies, awards, and the Employment Relations Act. Answers staff questions, drafts contracts, screens applicants, and flags HR risk – without replacing your people lead.
- 01 Answers leave, pay, and policy questions 24/7
- 02 Drafts contracts, warnings, and PIPs from templates
- 03 Screens CVs against role criteria with reasoning
- 04 Flags ER risks before they become disputes
Built on: Claude Employment Hero API BambooHR Vercel

What's different about doing this work in Queenstown.
- Queenstown's economy is tourism on rails – peak season is chaos, shoulder season is brutal. AI smooths both.
- Hospitality, accommodation, adventure operators, and a tight labour pool that empties every winter. AI here means coverage when staff can't be hired.
We work with teams across Queenstown: CBD · Frankton · Arrowtown · Jack's Point · Arthurs Point · Wanaka.

How we build AI HR assistant for a Queenstown team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Queenstown business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI HR and people ops.

We'd call the engagement a success when Queenstown teams are using the system without thinking about us. HR enquiries drop 65% in the first month – leaders get their week back.
Not your typical AI agency.
Honest about what AI can and cannot do
Ships the one workflow that pays for itself
Hours given back, never the size of the invoice
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Questions
FAQ
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.
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call – fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
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.
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.
