AI translation is overhyped at the macro level and underused at the workflow level. For a NZ real estate agency, that gap is where the actual ROI lives - and where most of our work happens.
AI translation that fits a real estate agency's week, not the other way around.
Our goal is to give real estate agencies a three-day weekend, so people can spend more time with their families and the people they love :)
What AI translation actually does
Reach more of Aotearoa. AI translation for te reo Māori, Samoan, Tongan, Mandarin, Hindi, and more - with cultural nuance, not Google-Translate stiffness.
- 01 Te reo Māori with macron support and reviewed terminology
- 02 Voice translation for support calls in real time
- 03 Glossary-locked terms so brand language stays consistent
- 04 Human-reviewer workflow for high-stakes content
Built on: Claude DeepL ElevenLabs Vercel

What you actually get
Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. This is what is in the box.
- A working pilot, in productionNot a prototype on someone's laptop. The first slice of AI translation runs against real work within weeks.
- Your data stays yoursIt runs on your accounts and your tools. If we part ways you keep the system and everything in it.
- The workflow mapped before codeWe write down what good looks like for real estate agencies first, so nobody is guessing at handover.
- Support after it landsThe people who built it stay reachable when the business changes shape around it.
How AI translation compares
The two things most businesses do instead, and where each one runs out.
| Hiring for it | An off-the-shelf tool | Kiwi Dynamics | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fit to how you work | Fits perfectly, costs a salary | You bend your process to suit the tool | Built around the workflow you already run |
| Time to something useful | Immediate, and permanent | Quick to switch on, slow to make fit | A working slice in weeks, then hardened |
| Who owns the data | You do | The vendor, on the vendor's terms | You do, in your own accounts |
| When it breaks | That person sorts it, if they are in | A support queue and a ticket number | The people who built it |
| What it costs | A salary, every year, forever | Per seat, forever, used or not | Scoped and quoted up front |
Real estate agencies need software built around their week, not against it.
- Agents live on their phones between open homes, listing enquiries, and vendor updates that can't wait until Monday.
- Lead response speed decides who gets the listing, and most agencies lose leads simply because nobody replied fast enough.
How we build AI translation for real estate agencies.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for a real estate agency business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI multilingual + te reo.
Talk to usHow the work runs
- Find the one workflowWe look for the job costing real estate agencies the most hours or the most leads, and deliberately ignore the rest for now.
- Ship a working sliceA narrow version goes into production in weeks, against real work, so the value shows up before the build is finished.
- Prove it, then widenWe measure it against what the work cost before. If it does not pay for itself, we say so rather than scaling it.
- Harden and hand overLogging, fallbacks and a real handover, so it keeps running when we are not in the room.
The outcome for real estate agencies
Expanded customer reach by 22% with multilingual support live. For real estate agencies, that almost always shows up as fewer interruptions and a calmer week, not a dashboard chart.
Not your typical AI agency.

FAQ
When does AI translation actually pay back?
Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for a real estate agency - so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
How do you price AI translation engagements?
Fixed-scope pilots first, then either project pricing or a small monthly retainer for the ongoing work. No long lock-ins, no 18-month black-box deals. Most real estate agencies are surprised how small the first cheque is.
Anyone else in this space using AI translation?
Plenty. Expanded customer reach by 22% with multilingual support live. 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.
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI translation can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Claude, DeepL, ElevenLabs, Vercel but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
Worth a conversation?
Even if you don't end up working with us, you'll leave the call knowing what's worth building.
