The version of AI agents that works for a Wānaka business is rarely the version a national vendor would sell you. We build the one that fits how your team actually operates – usually with fewer parts than the off-the-shelf pitch.

How we build AI agents for a Wānaka team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Wānaka business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI agents that do work.

Questions
FAQ
When does AI agents actually pay back?
Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for a Wānaka – so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
How do you price AI agents engagements?
Fixed-scope pilots first, then either project pricing or a small monthly retainer for the ongoing work. No long lock-ins, no 18-month black-box deals. Most Wānaka businesses are surprised how small the first cheque is.
Anyone else in this space using AI agents?
Plenty. Replaces 15+ hours of weekly back-office work per agent deployed. 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.
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI agents can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Claude Agent SDK, OpenAI Agents, LangGraph, n8n, MCP but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
The honest version of a sales call.
No deck. No discovery doc. Just whether this is worth building and what it would cost.
