Where AI actually helps personal care aides, and where it doesn't.
There's a version of "AI for personal care aides" that gets bought off a shelf and quietly stops getting used inside a month.

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.

How it works in New Zealand
We find the one workflow costing Personal Care Aides the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.

Questions personal care aides ask
What tools do you build AI on?
For AI we usually reach for Handle bookings and enquiries 24/7, Send reminders and follow-ups, Answer FAQs on your services, Free up front-desk time. We're tool-agnostic at heart - we pick what your personal care aides team team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.
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. 0.21% of all Claude.ai conversations map to this kind of work (Anthropic Economic Index, March 2026)
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 happens when the Holidays Act is replaced?
The Employment Leave Act 2026 replaces it on 6 August 2028. Until then payroll follows the current Holidays Act, so leave calculations need to handle today's rules and the changeover.
Do you work with Xero?
Yes. Xero is one of the systems we build around, and we connect to the other tools you already run rather than asking you to switch.
