Waiheke Island businesses don't need another generic AI pitch. Semantic search (RAG) 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 Auckland.

Our field notes from Waiheke Island builds.
- Waiheke is wine, hospitality, and high-touch tourism – AI here handles the spike when the ferry lands.
- Cellar doors, restaurants, accommodation, and the trades that maintain it all. AI tools that handle bookings and reviews quietly are gold.
We work with teams across Waiheke Island: Oneroa · Onetangi · Palm Beach · Surfdale · Ostend.

Questions
FAQ
How fast could we have semantic search (RAG) 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 does semantic search (RAG) cost for a Waiheke Island?
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.
What's the realistic outcome for Waiheke Island businesses?
Average search time drops from 6 minutes to 12 seconds. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
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 semantic search (RAG) specifically, we typically run that work on Pinecone, Claude, Postgres pgvector, Vercel AI SDK and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
