Book a demo

We've worked with enough operators in Wānaka to know that the brief that arrives in our inbox is rarely the brief that ends up shipped. The first thing we do on any AI chatbots project is sit with your team for a day before we propose anything.

What AI chatbots actually does

Trained on your business, not Wikipedia. AI assistants that answer pricing, hours, availability, bookings – and escalate cleanly when the customer needs a human.

  • 01 Trained on your documents, FAQs, and past tickets
  • 02 Books appointments, takes deposits, qualifies leads
  • 03 Live hand-off to a human when needed
  • 04 Daily quality reports so you stay in control

Built on: Claude OpenAI Custom RAG pipelines

Otago

Where Wānaka operators actually lose hours.

  • Wānaka has the boom-and-shoulder rhythm of a lifestyle town – AI here helps small teams handle big seasonal swings without burning out.
  • Tourism, hospitality, lifestyle property, and trades feeding constant builds. AI shines when it lets a small operator look like a big one.

We work with teams across Wānaka: Wānaka township · Albert Town · Hāwea · Cardrona · Lake Hāwea.

How we build AI chatbots 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 customer support.

The outcome for Wānaka teams

We'd call the engagement a success when Wānaka teams are using the system without thinking about us. Handles 60-70% of routine enquiries without human input.

Not your typical AI agency.

Honest about what AI can and cannot do

Ships the one workflow that pays for itself

Hours given back, never the size of the invoice

How much is not automating costing you?

Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. With Kiwi Dynamics, that drops to about 52.

Questions

FAQ

How long does AI chatbots take to ship for Wānaka businesses?

We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks – narrow scope, real Wānaka businesses data, measurable outcome. From there it's another 6-8 weeks of hardening before you'd consider it production. Full rollouts (multiple sites, multiple teams) typically land in 3-4 months.

Are there hidden costs we should plan for?

Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.

What's the realistic outcome for Wānaka businesses?

Handles 60-70% of routine enquiries without human input. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.

Who owns the code and the model setup?

You do, on delivery. We deploy AI chatbots into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. Claude sits in your account too – we don't operate it from ours.
