The version of AI chatbots that works for a Taupō business is rarely the version a national vendor would sell you. We build the one that fits how your team actually operates – usually with fewer parts than the off-the-shelf pitch.

How we build AI chatbots for a Taupō team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Taupō business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI customer support.

Questions
FAQ
What's a typical engagement length for Taupō businesses?
Six to twelve weeks for the build, then a short managed-services month while the system goes from "shipped" to "owned by your team". After that you keep us on retainer if you want, or take it from there yourself.
Are there hidden costs we should plan for?
Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.
Anyone else in this space using AI chatbots?
Plenty. Handles 60-70% of routine enquiries without human input. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" – it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default AI chatbots stack we reach for is Claude, OpenAI, Custom RAG pipelines, but we'll bend it around whatever you already run – Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Cin7, your own in-house apps. The discovery week maps every data source before any build starts.
The honest version of a sales call.
No deck. No discovery doc. Just whether this is worth building and what it would cost.
