Questions Whanganui businesses ask
What's the realistic timeline for AI chatbots with a Whanganui?
Most Whanganui businesses have their first usable slice in week 5 or 6. We'd rather ship narrow and real than broad and aspirational - your team gets to use the thing well before the engagement is "done".
What's the realistic outcome for Whanganui businesses?
Handles 60-70% of routine enquiries without human input. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
What happens if we want to swap a vendor out later?
AI chatbots 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. Claude, OpenAI, Custom RAG pipelines are our defaults, but the build is intentionally portable.
What does the Privacy Act 2020 mean for AI?
The same rules apply as for any system holding personal information. A breach that could cause serious harm must be reported to the Privacy Commissioner, who expects it within 72 hours.
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.
