Premier AI lab in New Zealand, building our own large language model products and services

Our goal as a company is to positively impact the day to day life of every New Zealander. We host our own infrastructure in New Zealand, under New Zealand governance, deeply grounded in tikanga Māori.

At Kiwi Dynamics, we build AI that gives New Zealanders their time back.

Tikanga AI for the organisations Māori data actually belongs to Nine kinds of organisation, from iwi and rūnanga to land trusts, health providers and kura, and the six frameworks we build to. Written as what the work is, not as a capability list. See the work

Inference that answers to tikanga, not just to a benchmark.

We build and run inference against the six principles of Māori data sovereignty set out by Te Mana Raraunga. For an organisation holding data about its own people, that is not a line at the bottom of a page. It decides where the model runs, what it is allowed to see, and who can switch it off.

Māori data stays Māori owned. Running a model over it does not transfer it, licence it, or turn it into training data.

  • Rangatiratanga

    Authority

    You decide what the model may see and what it may do with it. Access is yours to grant and yours to withdraw, and a withdrawal takes effect at the next inference, not at the next contract review.

  • Whakapapa

    Relationships

    Every output can be traced back to the documents, the records and the rules that produced it. Nothing arrives without a provenance you can follow.

  • Whanaungatanga

    Obligations

    Data gathered for one purpose is not quietly turned to another. A new use is a new conversation with you, not a schema change on our side.

  • Kotahitanga

    Collective benefit

    The gain comes back to the people the data came from, as hours returned to their staff and services that work better for their whānau.

  • Manaakitanga

    Reciprocity

    We leave you able to run it without us. Documentation, handover and the right to take the system elsewhere are part of the build, never an exit fee.

  • Kaitiakitanga

    Guardianship

    We hold your data in trust and never take ownership of it. It does not train our models or anyone else’s, it is returned or destroyed on request, and inference runs somewhere you can point at, on-shore or inside your own tenancy.

The six principles are those of Te Mana Raraunga, the Māori Data Sovereignty Network. The commitments beside them are ours.
