AI for marine engineers who want fewer tabs open, not more.
Most marine engineers we talk to aren't short of software - they're short of an hour back in the day.
If we build the right slice first, Marine Engineers feel the difference inside the first month. 0.02% of all Claude.ai conversations map to this kind of work (Anthropic Economic Index, March 2026) Kiwi Dynamics

An AI agency, minus the theatre.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
How much is the admin really costing 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.
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 marine engineers week to week
Marine Engineers sits within Architecture & Engineering, one of the sectors we build production AI for.
- Draft specs and documentation
- Check standards and compliance
- Summarise reports and drawings
- Speed up calculations and reviews
From one-person trades to national organisations, we find the hours :)
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.

Good questions, answered
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for Marine Engineers that aren't sure whether the build is worth doing at all. You get a one-page write-up of what we'd build, what we'd skip, and what it would cost. About 30% of those discoveries end with us recommending you don't proceed.
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".
What tools do you build AI on?
For AI we usually reach for Draft specs and documentation, Check standards and compliance, Summarise reports and drawings, Speed up calculations and reviews. We're tool-agnostic at heart - we pick what your marine engineers team team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.
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.
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.
