Where AI actually helps forest and conservation technicians, and where it doesn't.
Most forest and conservation technicians we talk to aren't short of software - they're short of an hour back in the day.

An AI agency, minus the theatre.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
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.
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.*
*Illustrative, based on 9 hours a week of admin at a typical 80% automation rate. The calculator uses your own numbers.
Small crew or big organisation, the busywork is the same :)
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 changes for forest and conservation technicians week to week
Forest and Conservation Technicians sits within Science & Research, one of the sectors we build production AI for.
- Summarise literature with citations
- Clean and explore datasets
- Draft methods and reports
- Answer questions over your documents
Straight answers
What tools do you build AI on?
For AI we usually reach for Summarise literature with citations, Clean and explore datasets, Draft methods and reports, Answer questions over your documents. We're tool-agnostic at heart - we pick what your forest and conservation technicians 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".
Anyone else in this space using AI?
Plenty. 0.03% of all Claude.ai conversations map to this kind of work (Anthropic Economic Index, March 2026) The interesting question is rarely "does it work" - it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.
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.
What does the Privacy Commissioner expect before we use AI?
Senior leadership sign-off, a check that the tool is necessary and proportionate, and a privacy impact assessment before it goes live.
