AI for physicists who want fewer tabs open, not more.
Most physicists we talk to aren't short of software - they're short of an hour back in the day.
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.

Definitely not a typical AI agency.

What changes for physicists week to week
Physicists 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
We'd call the engagement a success when Physicists are using the system without thinking about us. 0.02% of all Claude.ai conversations map to this kind of work (Anthropic Economic Index, March 2026) Kiwi Dynamics
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.
Already buried in admin? We'll sort the first workflow for 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.
Questions physicists ask
What if our physicists team doesn't have any data ready?
Most don't. Getting the data into shape - ingestion, cleaning, the lightweight contracts you need before any model is useful - is part of the engagement. For AI specifically, we typically run that work on Summarise literature with citations, Clean and explore datasets, Draft methods and reports, Answer questions over your documents and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
Do you have proof this works for Physicists?
Direct case study: 0.02% of all Claude.ai conversations map to this kind of work (Anthropic Economic Index, March 2026) Happy to walk you through full numbers on a call.
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for Physicists 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.
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.
How does this fit the Public Service AI Framework?
The framework, led by the Government Chief Digital Officer, asks for safe, transparent and accountable AI. Agencies that sign the Algorithm Charter also commit to transparency in how they use algorithms.
