AI that gives automotive specialty technicians their time back, not another dashboard.
When automotive specialty technicians ask us what AI actually changes, the first question we put back is the same one every time: which part of your week, if it disappeared, would change how you feel on a Friday?
AI adoption in this role is still early - which is exactly where the edge is cheapest to win.
On the tools or running at scale, the admin still eats the week :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.

Not your typical AI agency.

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.*

What changes for automotive specialty technicians week to week
Automotive Specialty Technicians sits within Trades, Installation & Repair, one of the sectors we build production AI for.
- Book jobs while you are on the tools
- Draft quotes from photos and notes
- Chase invoices automatically
- Generate compliance paperwork
By the numbers
Canada's overall AI usage sits at 4.37x its expected level, with Singapore leading at 5.53x.
Adoption is already well ahead of the curve, and the edge goes to whoever turns it into a concrete workflow first.
Straight answers
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.
What's a typical engagement length for Automotive Specialty Technicians?
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.
Has this actually shipped for a real automotive specialty technicians team?
Yes. AI adoption in this role is still early - which is exactly where the edge is cheapest to win We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
Will it work alongside Fergus or Tradify?
We build around the tools you already run instead of replacing them. Fergus and Tradify are both job management tools built in New Zealand for trades.
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.
