Straight answers
What does AI cost for a file clerks team?
Pilots start from a fixed scope priced to land a measurable result inside 6 weeks. Pricing depends on data volume, integration complexity, and whether you need us on managed services afterwards. We'll quote precisely after a 30-minute scoping call.
What happens if we want to swap a vendor out later?
AI is built behind a small adapter layer specifically so swapping a model provider or a data source is a one-day job, not a re-architecture. Draft and answer routine email, Move data between systems, Schedule and chase follow-ups, Generate documents from templates are our defaults, but the build is intentionally portable.

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.
Does scheduling handle public holidays?
It should. New Zealand has 11 national public holidays, including Matariki, plus a regional anniversary day that depends on where your business is.
