Straight answers
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for Dishwashers that aren't sure whether the build is worth doing at all. You get a one-page write-up of what we'd build, what we'd skip, and what it would cost. About 30% of those discoveries end with us recommending you don't proceed.
What tools do you build AI on?
For AI we usually reach for Take bookings and waitlists by voice, Reply to every review on brand, Answer guest and staff FAQs, Generate menu and promo content. We're tool-agnostic at heart - we pick what your dishwashers team team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.
How quickly can we see something running?
Week three for a clickable internal demo against real data. Week six for a slice your team can actually use. We hold ourselves to those numbers because they're what stops a project drifting into "endless discovery".
Can AI help with payday filing?
It can prepare it. Employers file employment information every payday, within 2 working days when filing electronically, and automation can have it ready for a person to check.
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.
