AI that gives historians their time back, not another dashboard.
When historians 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?
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.

What changes for historians week to week
Historians 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
An AI agency, minus the theatre.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
What changes for Historians after this lands: the work that used to need a person stays done, the work that needs a person gets done with their attention undivided. 0.43% of all Claude.ai conversations map to this kind of work (Anthropic Economic Index, March 2026) Kiwi Dynamics
On the tools or running at scale, the admin still eats the week :)
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.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
How Kiwi Dynamics works
We find the one workflow costing Historians the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
Straight answers
When does AI actually pay back?
Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for a historians team - so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
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. 0.43% of all Claude.ai conversations map to this kind of work (Anthropic Economic Index, March 2026)
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 does the Privacy Act 2020 mean for AI?
The same rules apply as for any system holding personal information. A breach that could cause serious harm must be reported to the Privacy Commissioner, who expects it within 72 hours.
Do you respond to government tenders?
Most large government contracts are advertised on GETS, the Government Electronic Tender Service, where suppliers register with RealMe.
