AI staff training for optometrists.
The version of AI staff training that optometry practices still use a year after launch.
How Kiwi Dynamics works
We find the one workflow costing optometry practices the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
Eye test recalls, bookings and patient messages handled automatically, with patient information protected under the Privacy Act 2020.
Knows the New Zealand rules.
Hands-on training on your team's real tasks, including what the Privacy Commissioner expects before anyone pastes personal information into an AI tool.
- What the Privacy Commissioner expects
- Personal data sent offshore
- Serious breaches get reported
The shape of the result for optometry practices: New-hire ramp-up cut from 12 weeks to 5 - measurable competency, not just attendance. Built on Claude, hardened with the rest of the stack as it scales. Kiwi Dynamics
Definitely not a typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Optometry practices run their businesses unlike anyone else.
Optometrists balance eye tests, recalls, and frame sales, with recall reminders often the first thing to slip.
Recall reminders and insurance or funding queries are the recurring admin load behind every optometry front desk.
From one-person trades to national organisations, we find the hours :)
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.
Straight answers
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 an optometry practice - so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
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.
Has this actually shipped for a real optometry practice?
Yes. New-hire ramp-up cut from 12 weeks to 5 - measurable competency, not just attendance. We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
Can it keep track of ACC levies?
Yes. ACC work levies are set by the classification unit your work falls under, and self-employed people are invoiced after filing their tax return.
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.
