AI that gives immigration and customs inspectors their time back, not another dashboard.

Every immigration and customs inspectors team we've worked with has a different definition of "broken".

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.

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.

Definitely not a typical AI agency.

Honest about what AI can and cannot do

Ships the one workflow that pays for itself

Hours given back, never the size of the invoice

*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.

How it works in New Zealand

We find the one workflow costing Immigration and Customs Inspectors the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.

What changes for immigration and customs inspectors week to week

Immigration and Customs Inspectors sits within Protective Services, one of the sectors we build production AI for.

  • Draft reports and summaries
  • Answer policy and procedure questions
  • Triage and route requests
  • Cut administrative load

Good questions, answered

How long does AI take to ship for Immigration and Customs Inspectors?

We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks - narrow scope, real Immigration and Customs Inspectors data, measurable outcome. From there it's another 6-8 weeks of hardening before you'd consider it production. Full rollouts (multiple sites, multiple teams) typically land in 3-4 months.

Are there hidden costs we should plan for?

Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.

Who owns the code and the model setup?

You do, on delivery. We deploy AI into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. Draft reports and summaries sits in your account too - we don't operate it from ours.

Do you respond to government tenders?

Most large government contracts are advertised on GETS, the Government Electronic Tender Service, where suppliers register with RealMe.

Can the AI run on New Zealand-hosted cloud?

Yes, the options now exist. Microsoft opened a New Zealand cloud region in December 2024 and AWS followed in September 2025, both with local data residency.
