Stop working harder. Artificial intelligence is the ultimate productivity multiplier. We help NZ businesses automate processes, build custom apps and upskill teams to achieve more with less.
What we run for you
You do not buy these or learn to drive them. We built them, we run them, and you get what comes out. A monthly service, not another system for your team to learn.
Finds and qualifies leads. We run it, you get a list worth calling instead of a spreadsheet of noise.
A creative director and a scheduler in one. We build you the campaign: what to post and why, written, the visuals made, the whole month scheduled. You approve it, we do the rest. Built around what actually earns attention now: a hook that survives the first three seconds, one idea per post, and a reason to care before a reason to buy.
Site visits, client meetings and phone calls come back as clean written notes and actions. Nobody sits down to type them up.
Training matrices, position descriptions, pay frameworks and policies kept current. Built off twenty years of doing this by hand for manufacturers.
SiteWise-ready documentation, hazard registers and training records that stay current instead of being rebuilt in a panic before an audit.
What we build into your business
These ones you own and run. Built around your pricing, your trade and the way you already work, rather than bought off a shelf and bent to fit. If it eats your week, it is worth a conversation.
Built around your pricing, your rates and how you actually scope a job. Yours to own and run. We have built one for a scaffolding company already, and quoting is the job that eats evenings in most trades.
Built for a Canterbury scaffolding company
Jobs and people matched to the calendar with travel, skills and priority accounted for. The problem most owner operators still solve in their head at 6am. Built for your business, same as the quoting.
One screen across your deals, tasks and email that says what needs you today. We run our own business on ours, which is the only endorsement worth anything. Yours would be built around how you work.
We run Taki Consulting on ours
AI keeping the CRM current instead of you doing it: records updated, follow ups drafted, nothing quietly going cold because everyone was busy.
Email sorted, prioritised and drafted against, so the important things surface and the rest waits. Built around how your business runs, not generic rules.
Trained on your documents, pricing and policies, so it answers the way you would. The questions you answer forty times a week, handled.
Empower Your Team with AI Literacy
Technology is only as good as the people using it. We focus on training your staff using Claude AI, chosen for its superior intelligence, clean interface, and highly nuanced output quality.
Practical Workflow Prompts Included:
- Email drafting and refinement
- Document creation
- Quoting and estimating
- Lead research
- Customer service responses
- Scheduling and job planning
Quoting is where this shows up first. For most trades and manufacturers it is the job that eats evenings and weekends, and it is the one AI is genuinely good at. Here is what that looks like for someone quoting ten jobs a week.
That is most of a working day, back, every week. Whether you spend it winning more work, getting on the tools, or getting home earlier is up to you. Quote more than ten a week and the numbers get harder to ignore.

AI integration services, in plain English
What do your AI integration services include?
Two kinds of work. Services we run for you, where you get what comes out and never have to learn another system. And tools we build into your business, like a quoting engine or scheduling, which you own and run. Alongside both, we train your team to use AI properly in their day to day work.
Where should a small business start with artificial intelligence?
With the job that eats the week. For most trades and manufacturers that is quoting. Get the process right first and then automate it, or you just get a faster mess. The free AI Opportunity Check shows where AI would save you time, and this article covers the order to do it in.
How much does AI integration cost?
Our prices are fixed and shown on this page: $750 for a proper start, $2,500 to take one job off your plate, and from $6,000 for AI doing whole jobs from start to finish.
Do you only do AI consulting in Christchurch?
No. Taki Consulting is based in Christchurch and works with businesses right across New Zealand. Most AI integration work is done remotely, with time on site when the job needs it.
