What you get
We'd call the engagement a success when Wānaka teams are using the system without thinking about us.
- Replies in seconds on WhatsApp, SMS, Instagram, and Messenger - not the next business day
- Acknowledges the customer's actual problem before it asks anything, so it never reads like a bot
- A short question flow that ends in a booking, not an open-ended chat
- Answers your real questions - pricing, parking, insurance, after-hours - from your own website content
- No annual contracts
- No AI theatre
Already buried in admin? We'll sort the first workflow for you :)
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*
*Illustrative, based on 9 hours a week of admin at a typical 80% automation rate. The calculator uses your own numbers.
Not your typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Good questions, answered
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for Wānaka 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.
What if our Wānaka 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 booking agent specifically, we typically run that work on WhatsApp Business API, Twilio, Claude, Cal.com, HubSpot and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
How fast could we have AI booking agent in production?
Eight to ten weeks for most Wānaka 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.
Can reminders follow the new WoF rules?
They need to. From 1 November 2026 many light vehicles aged 4 to 14 years move to a WoF every two years, and new vehicles get their second WoF at 4 years.
Does scheduling handle public holidays?
It should. New Zealand has 11 national public holidays, including Matariki, plus a regional anniversary day that depends on where your business is.
