AI and machine learning in Nelson.
Most teams do not need a bigger model, they need one wired into the system where the work already happens.
Seafood, forestry and horticulture move through Nelson every day. We build AI that handles the shipping paperwork, compliance records and invoicing that follow them.
What AI and machine learning means here
The core of what we build. Models that read your documents, answer in your own language and take the repetitive work off your team, running against your systems rather than a demo dataset.
- Agents that work inside your existing tools, not beside them
- Retrieval over your own documents, with the source cited on every answer
- Fine tuning and evaluation against tasks your team actually does
- Human review on anything that leaves the building
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.
Small crew or big organisation, the busywork is the same :)
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
Do you actually work on AI and machine learning?
The core of what we build. Models that read your documents, answer in your own language and take the repetitive work off your team, running against your systems rather than a demo dataset.
What does this look like for a Nelson business?
Nelson is creative, outdoorsy, and full of clever small businesses - AI here is about giving owner-operators their evenings back. We scope one workflow, ship it to production, and prove the return before expanding.
Where do you start?
With the workflow costing the most time or the most leads. Most teams do not need a bigger model, they need one wired into the system where the work already happens.
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 it remind us about the annual return?
Yes. Every company must file an annual return with the Companies Office each year, separate from its tax return.
