Timaru businesses don't need another generic AI pitch. AI social media 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 Canterbury.

Talk to us about this →How we build AI social media for a Timaru team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Timaru business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI social manager.

Posting cadence up 5x, hours spent per week down to one. For Timaru teams, that almost always shows up as fewer interruptions and a calmer week, not a dashboard chart.
Not your typical AI agency.
Honest about what AI can and cannot do
Ships the one workflow that pays for itself
Hours given back, never the size of the invoice
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Questions
FAQ
How quickly can we see something running?
Week three for a clickable internal demo against real data. Week six for a slice your team can actually use. We hold ourselves to those numbers because they're what stops a project drifting into "endless discovery".
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for Timaru 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.
Anyone else in this space using AI social media?
Plenty. Posting cadence up 5x, hours spent per week down to one. 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 tools do you build AI social media on?
For AI social media we usually reach for Claude, Buffer, Meta Graph API, Vercel. We're tool-agnostic at heart – we pick what your Timaru team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.
