- Error handling, retries, monitoring
- Clean exports for finance/ops
AI assistants for real operations
Task-specific agents that answer, route, and action requests while staying controlled and safe.
- Document Q&A (RAG) with citations
- Guided workflows (function calling)
- Human approval steps where required

FAQs
Quick answers to common questions we get from NZ teams.
Do you integrate with our existing tools or replace them?
We prioritise integrating with what you already use (accounting, CRMs, field tools) and replace only when it clearly improves ROI and reduces friction.
How long does a typical build take?
MVPs commonly take 3–8 weeks. Platforms with multiple integrations and permissions often run 8–16+ weeks depending on scope and data readiness.
Can you build internal tooling as well as customer-facing apps?
Yes — we regularly build internal dashboards, admin portals, and customer portals with consistent permissions and audit trails.
Do you offer ongoing support?
Yes. We can provide maintenance, monitoring, iteration sprints, and roadmap delivery — tailored to your operational needs.
