Questions Waiheke Island businesses ask
How fast could we have AI chatbots in production?
Eight to ten weeks for most Waiheke Island 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.
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.
What if our Waiheke Island 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 chatbots specifically, we typically run that work on Claude, OpenAI, Custom RAG pipelines and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
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.
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.
