AI social media is overhyped at the macro level and underused at the workflow level. For a NZ dog groomer, that gap is where the actual ROI lives – and where most of our work happens.

Field notes
What years of building for dog groomers taught us.
- 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.
How we build AI social media for dog groomers.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for a dog groomer business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI social manager.

Questions
FAQ
How long does AI social media take to ship for dog groomers?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks – narrow scope, real dog groomers data, measurable outcome. From there it's another 6-8 weeks of hardening before you'd consider it production. Full rollouts (multiple sites, multiple teams) typically land in 3-4 months.
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.
Do you have proof this works for dog groomers?
Direct case study: Posting cadence up 5x, hours spent per week down to one. Happy to walk you through full numbers on a call.
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy AI social media 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.

No deck. No discovery doc. Just whether this is worth building and what it would cost.
