AI email triage in Taupō.
AI inbox manager - wired into a Taupō workflow, not bolted on the side.
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.

Taupō businesses serve visitors all year, from lake cruises to forest trails. We automate bookings, reviews and staff scheduling so owners are not answering enquiries at midnight.
What AI email triage actually does
Inbox gets the AI treatment - drafts replies, files quotes, escalates the urgent, and snoozes the noise. With the right workflow automated, nine hours of admin a week could drop to about one.*

Straight answers
What if our Taupō 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 email triage specifically, we typically run that work on Claude, Gmail API, Microsoft Graph, Vercel and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for Taupō businesses 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 fast could we have AI email triage in production?
Eight to ten weeks for most Taupō businesses. Faster if your data is in good shape and slower if we're untangling a legacy integration first. We'll give you a realistic number on the scoping call rather than the optimistic one.
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.
Does it keep up with KiwiSaver changes?
It has to. The minimum employer contribution rose to 3.5 per cent on 1 April 2026 and rises to 4 per cent on 1 April 2028.
