AI that gives manicurists and pedicurists their time back, not another dashboard.
When manicurists and pedicurists 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?
Small crew or big organisation, the busywork is the same :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
AI adoption in this role is still early - which is exactly where the edge is cheapest to win.
Definitely not a typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.

Straight answers
Has this actually shipped for a real manicurists and pedicurists team?
Yes. AI adoption in this role is still early - which is exactly where the edge is cheapest to win We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
How do you price AI engagements?
Fixed-scope pilots first, then either project pricing or a small monthly retainer for the ongoing work. No long lock-ins, no 18-month black-box deals. Most Manicurists and Pedicurists are surprised how small the first cheque is.
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. Handle bookings and enquiries 24/7 sits in your account too - we don't operate it from ours.
Does it keep up with KiwiSaver changes?
It has to. The minimum employer contribution rose to 3.5 per cent on 1 April 2026 and rises to 4 per cent on 1 April 2028.
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.
