Common questions
Before you book the call.
When does AI HR assistant 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.
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price? +
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call – fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
Do you have proof this works for Wānaka businesses? +
Direct case study: HR enquiries drop 65% in the first month – leaders get their week back. Happy to walk you through full numbers on a call.
Will this run on our own infrastructure? +
Yes, where it makes sense. AI HR assistant can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Claude, Employment Hero API, BambooHR, Vercel but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
