AI chatbots for dog groomers.
AI customer support, built around how a dog groomer actually works.
Appointments, reminders and pet notes handled automatically, so nobody has to put the clippers down for the phone.
Dog groomers run their businesses unlike anyone else.
Groomers run tight appointment slots where a single no-show leaves an expensive gap in the day.
Booking confirmations and reminder texts are the simplest lever for cutting no-shows in a grooming business.
Knows the New Zealand rules.
Answers customer questions in plain New Zealand English from your own policies and prices, and hands anything tricky to a person.

Already buried in admin? We'll sort the first workflow for you :)
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*
*Illustrative, based on 9 hours a week of admin at a typical 80% automation rate. The calculator uses your own numbers.
On the tools or running at scale, the admin still eats the week :)
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.
Handles 60-70% of routine enquiries without human input. For dog groomers, that almost always shows up as fewer interruptions and a calmer week, not a dashboard chart. Kiwi Dynamics
Good questions, answered
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy AI chatbots into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. Claude sits in your account too - we don't operate it from ours.
Are there hidden costs we should plan for?
Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.
Anyone else in this space using AI chatbots?
Plenty. Handles 60-70% of routine enquiries without human input. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" - it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.
Can AI help with payday filing?
It can prepare it. Employers file employment information every payday, within 2 working days when filing electronically, and automation can have it ready for a person to check.
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.
