We help ambitious organisations turn AI into a competitive advantage

NZ organisations are sitting on untapped AI potential

It's easy to see the potential, but it can be hard to know where and how to start. We can provide the process, know-how, and judgement, to build AI features and workflows that create measurable value for your business.

87%

of NZ organisations already use some form of AI, but only 12% have scaled it into core operations.

91%

of businesses report efficiency gains from AI (up 15% from last year).

Packages to get you started

Everyone’s situation is different. Our flexible AI-focused services are designed to give you something immediately useful, a clear picture of where to go next, with no obligation to go further.

Product Validation

UX/UI testing & market validation for AI built products or prototypes.

Our team will review the form and function of your AI prototype; with options for real feedback from your audience to validate how your idea could land.

AI often makes assumptions (with good intentions) that can snowball into unusable experiences and broken user trust. We’ll work with you to find the right recipe of testing activities for your needs to stress-test your prototype. We’ll assess what's working, what's not, what would break at scale, and what’s needed to make your ideas market-ready so you can invest in the right areas with confidence.

Outcomes:

  • A clear understanding of gaps and opportunities
  • Confidence that your approach follows best practice and quality UX
  • MVP scope validation with a recommended path forward for your business

Security Assessment

Go-to-market assessment for AI built apps & experiences.

Our team will review the InfoSec and integrity of your AI-made product, surfacing potential risks and opportunities.

AI ‘vibe-coding’ accelerates security risks, introducing deep architectural flaws that scale critically with blind trust. It’s critical to consider your technical risk, postural integrity, InfoSec, and AI guardrails. We know it’s not a simple trade off between speed and security, so let us help you find the balance your business needs.

Outcomes:

  • A clear understanding of security risks and vulnerabilities
  • An actionable roadmap of improvements for your AI-made code in your own workspace
  • Visibility of the path to a safe and secure live product

AI Strategy

Enterprise AI Readiness Assessment.

The bigger the enterprise, the more important it is to ensure your governance, safety rails, education and technical maturity is in the right place to underpin your ambitious Digital and AI Strategies.

Outcomes:

  • A strategic roadmap with prioritised AI initiatives
  • A clear picture for investment cases

Our services

Designing and building AX: Agent Experience

As AI moves from answering questions to taking actions on our behalf, there’s a new discipline emerging alongside UX: AX (Agentic Experience).

AX design branches across two users: the experience AI agents have when interpreting your content, and the experience users have when engaging with AI agents and their outputs.

Designing for trust

Agentic interfaces succeed or fail on trust.

Our own research into digital trust found people want AI to remove friction, not to stand between them and a person when the stakes are high.

It’s critical that we design agents and their outputs to behave predictably, state what they're doing and why in plain language, and follow the flow a person would naturally expect. Autonomy is earned in stages, from suggesting, to acting with approval, to acting independently, with clear checkpoints before anything irreversible happens.

This means your users can have experiences more tailored, efficient, and accessible than ever before. You’ll have all the benefits of a customisable interface experience, while your business can remain confident in its brand reputation, control over offerings, and security.

What this looks like in practice:

  • Sandbox modes for regulated workflows.
  • Explainable reasoning users can correct in plain language.
  • Human-in-the-loop moments designed in from the start, not bolted on after something goes wrong.

Engineering for reliability

AI amplifies engineering fundamentals, it doesn't replace them. Getting real value from these tools requires deep experience in system design, failure modes, and operational discipline. We bring decades of that experience, which is why we can move fast without cutting corners.

We scope tools tightly to what an agent actually needs, build in graceful recovery when a step fails, and log every agent action so it's auditable and distinguishable from human activity. A production agent is a system, not a clever prompt. We connect agents to your data and tools in a structured, secure, and governable way.

This means your systems can adopt emerging capabilities without taking on unnecessary risk.

What this looks like in practice:

  • Evaluation and guardrails built into delivery from day one.
  • Agents embedded as well-scoped steps inside your existing processes. Never autonomous without boundaries.

A decade of building complex digital products that help business reach their full potential

We have the know-how to help our clients figure out what AI can do for their business (and we’ll candidly share what it can’t). We do our best work where complex data and requirements, and proven user needs, create challenges that demand both strategic and technical depth.

Our experience

Our clients range from fintechs to museums, from new kids on the block to old hats, from solo operators to heavy hitters. Each project is as different as each partner.
