Waiheke Island, up close.
Tourism is an important part of the Waiheke economy, with visitors drawn to its beaches and boutique vineyards, and up to a quarter of adult summer residents work in tourism-related jobs.
Waiheke is a 35-minute ferry ride from Auckland's city centre. The island's population swells every summer with visitors.
Less admin.
More weekend.
No theatre.

Straight answers
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for Waiheke Island 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 HR assistant 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.
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 HR assistant specifically, we typically run that work on Claude, Employment Hero API, BambooHR, Vercel and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
Can AI help with payday filing?
It can prepare it. Employers file employment information every payday, within 2 working days when filing electronically, and automation can have it ready for a person to check.
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.
