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 staff training project is sit with your team for a day before we propose anything.

What's different about doing this work in Wānaka.
- Wānaka has the boom-and-shoulder rhythm of a lifestyle town – AI here helps small teams handle big seasonal swings without burning out.

How we build AI staff training 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 training tools.

What changes for Wānaka teams after this lands: the work that used to need a person stays done, the work that needs a person gets done with their attention undivided. New-hire ramp-up cut from 12 weeks to 5 – measurable competency, not just attendance.
Not your typical AI agency.

Questions
FAQ
When does AI staff training 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.
Has this actually shipped for a real Wānaka?
Yes. New-hire ramp-up cut from 12 weeks to 5 – measurable competency, not just attendance. We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI staff training can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Claude, ElevenLabs, Vercel AI SDK, Mux, Postgres but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
