Tauranga businesses don't need another generic AI pitch. AI strategy only earns its keep when it's built around the workflow you actually run on a wet Tuesday, and that's how we scope every engagement we take on in Bay of Plenty.
AI roadmap + plan - wired into a Tauranga workflow, not bolted on the side.
Our goal is to give Tauranga businesses a three-day weekend, so people can spend more time with their families and the people they love :)
What AI strategy actually does
A clear-eyed AI roadmap built for your business - not a generic deck. We sit with your team, map the high-value plays, and write the build order. You leave with a plan you could actually start tomorrow.
- 01 On-site discovery with the people doing the work
- 02 Ranked initiatives with ROI, effort, and risk
- 03 Tool selection - not married to any vendor
- 04 Phased 90-day plan you can execute or hand off
Built on: Claude Notion Miro Linear

What you actually get
Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. This is what is in the box.
- A working pilot, in productionNot a prototype on someone's laptop. The first slice of AI strategy runs against real work within weeks.
- Your data stays yoursIt runs on your accounts and your tools. If we part ways you keep the system and everything in it.
- The workflow mapped before codeWe write down what good looks like for Tauranga businesses first, so nobody is guessing at handover.
- Support after it landsThe people who built it stay reachable when the business changes shape around it.
How AI strategy compares
The two things most businesses do instead, and where each one runs out.
| Hiring for it | An off-the-shelf tool | Kiwi Dynamics | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fit to how you work | Fits perfectly, costs a salary | You bend your process to suit the tool | Built around the workflow you already run |
| Time to something useful | Immediate, and permanent | Quick to switch on, slow to make fit | A working slice in weeks, then hardened |
| Who owns the data | You do | The vendor, on the vendor's terms | You do, in your own accounts |
| When it breaks | That person sorts it, if they are in | A support queue and a ticket number | The people who built it |
| What it costs | A salary, every year, forever | Per seat, forever, used or not | Scoped and quoted up front |
Our field notes from Tauranga builds.
- Tauranga is one of NZ's fastest-growing cities - and with growth comes admin. AI here clears the backlog so teams can keep up.
- Horticulture, marine, logistics through the Port of Tauranga, and a booming services scene. Local businesses want AI that scales with seasonal swing.
We work with teams across Tauranga: Mount Maunganui · Papamoa · Bethlehem · Greerton · Tauriko · Te Puke · Katikati.

How we build AI strategy for a Tauranga team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Tauranga business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI roadmap + plan.
Talk to usHow the work runs
- Find the one workflowWe look for the job costing Tauranga businesses the most hours or the most leads, and deliberately ignore the rest for now.
- Ship a working sliceA narrow version goes into production in weeks, against real work, so the value shows up before the build is finished.
- Prove it, then widenWe measure it against what the work cost before. If it does not pay for itself, we say so rather than scaling it.
- Harden and hand overLogging, fallbacks and a real handover, so it keeps running when we are not in the room.
The outcome for Tauranga teams
What changes for Tauranga teams after this lands: the work that used to need a person stays done, the work that needs a person gets done with their attention undivided. Most plans pay for themselves in the first build.
Not your typical AI agency.

FAQ
How fast could we have AI strategy in production?
Eight to ten weeks for most Tauranga 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 does AI strategy cost for a Tauranga?
Pilots start from a fixed scope priced to land a measurable result inside 6 weeks. Pricing depends on data volume, integration complexity, and whether you need us on managed services afterwards. We'll quote precisely after a 30-minute scoping call.
Anyone else in this space using AI strategy?
Plenty. Most plans pay for themselves in the first build. 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.
What if our Tauranga 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 strategy specifically, we typically run that work on Claude, Notion, Miro, Linear and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
One short call.
