AI knowledge base in Wānaka.
Built and supported here - the way a Wānaka business would actually use it.
Built differently, on purpose.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Wānaka businesses gear up for ski season from June, then summer visitors. We automate rostering, bookings and guest messages so small teams handle big weeks.
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.
Wānaka, up close.
Wānaka's visitor economy centres on its lakes, mountains and ski areas, Cardrona, Treble Cone and Snow Farm, which operate from June to October.
Lake Wanaka Tourism has more than 450 member businesses. Ski areas operate from June to October.
Made for New Zealand paperwork.
Policies, job manuals and compliance records in one place staff can ask, including Records of Building Work for restricted work.
- Restricted work needs an LBP
- 11 public holidays, plus yours
- What the Privacy Commissioner expects
Small crew or big organisation, the busywork is the same :)
The questions a public sector buyer asks, answered up front: privacy impact, the NZISM, where the data lives and how an algorithm is held to account.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.

Straight answers
Has this actually shipped for a real Wānaka?
Yes. New staff get to productive 3x faster - less senior-team interruption. We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
What's a typical engagement length for Wānaka businesses?
Six to twelve weeks for the build, then a short managed-services month while the system goes from "shipped" to "owned by your team". After that you keep us on retainer if you want, or take it from there yourself.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default AI knowledge base stack we reach for is Claude, Pinecone, Vercel AI SDK, Postgres, MCP, but we'll bend it around whatever you already run - Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Cin7, your own in-house apps. The discovery week maps every data source before any build starts.
Does it keep up with KiwiSaver changes?
It has to. The minimum employer contribution rose to 3.5 per cent on 1 April 2026 and rises to 4 per cent on 1 April 2028.
What does the Privacy Commissioner expect before we use AI?
Senior leadership sign-off, a check that the tool is necessary and proportionate, and a privacy impact assessment before it goes live.
