AI that gives talent directors their time back, not another dashboard.
Every talent directors team we've worked with has a different definition of "broken".
0.03% of all Claude.ai conversations map to this kind of work (Anthropic Economic Index, March 2026).
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.

Definitely not a typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
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 talent directors week to week
Talent Directors sits within Media, Design & Content, one of the sectors we build production AI for.
- Draft and edit copy on brand
- Repurpose content across channels
- Research and outline fast
- Caption, summarise and tag media
From one-person trades to national organisations, we find the hours :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.

Good questions, answered
What's the realistic outcome for Talent Directors?
0.03% of all Claude.ai conversations map to this kind of work (Anthropic Economic Index, March 2026) We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
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 Talent Directors 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. Draft and edit copy on brand sits in your account too - we don't operate it from ours.
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.
What does the Privacy Act 2020 mean for AI?
The same rules apply as for any system holding personal information. A breach that could cause serious harm must be reported to the Privacy Commissioner, who expects it within 72 hours.
