AI receptionist in Wānaka.
AI receptionist designed around the way a Wānaka team actually runs.
How the work runs
We find the one workflow costing Wānaka businesses the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
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.
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.

*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
From one-person trades to national organisations, we find the hours :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
Straight answers
Can you walk us through a comparable build?
Yes - on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. Captures the 30-40% of enquiries that used to go to voicemail.
Is AI receptionist worth it for a smaller Wānaka?
Often, yes - and counterintuitively the ROI is sometimes faster than for the big end of town because there's less integration overhead. We'll tell you honestly on the scoping call if it isn't.
What happens if we want to swap a vendor out later?
AI receptionist is built behind a small adapter layer specifically so swapping a model provider or a data source is a one-day job, not a re-architecture. Vapi, Twilio, Claude, Cal.com, Stripe are our defaults, but the build is intentionally portable.
Can it help with health and safety records?
It can keep them organised. A business must notify WorkSafe of notifiable events and keep those records for at least five years.
Do you work with Xero?
Yes. Xero is one of the systems we build around, and we connect to the other tools you already run rather than asking you to switch.
