The version of AI social media that works for a Wānaka business is rarely the version a national vendor would sell you. We build the one that fits how your team actually operates – usually with fewer parts than the off-the-shelf pitch.

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.

Questions
FAQ
When does AI social media 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.
What's the realistic outcome for Wānaka businesses?
Posting cadence up 5x, hours spent per week down to one. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI social media can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Claude, Buffer, Meta Graph API, Vercel but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
