Every company will be rebuilt around AI.
The question is whether yours is rebuilt by design or left behind by default.
We make Australian companies AI-native: one AI brain that knows your business, tools your whole team uses daily, and agents that take the busywork. On your servers, owned by you.

In their own words. See every result
We're in the property sector. You know, we're not software engineers. We're not able to have our minds in this space 100%. So we decided that we needed to lean on a third party, a specialist in AI.
I could send it 10 CVs of the people that I want to talk to and it goes away and emails them, books in times in my calendar and sends them confirmation of it, details that they need to know and all of that is done while I'm just sitting on my couch, talking to it on my phone, not even typing.
Tom HunterFounderTestimonialWe've decreased our administration costs by 40%, while improving customer service benchmarks by up to 80%.
The early results from the project are incredible. Our admin hours have quartered since working together.

Robert HonanCEOClient reviewData goes in, a finished Strategy Breakdowns graphic comes out. Right fonts, right purple, right bendy arrows, right everything. They were great to work with, real professionals. If you’re after something similar I’d absolutely recommend talking to them.

What each layer does, and who owns it.
Foundations first. Each layer is built once and used by everyone.
- Your CRM, comms, emails, finance system, and files, linked into one institutional memory AI can actually use.
- Humans ask it questions. Agents read from it and write to it. Everyone works from the same truth.
- The unsexy, load-bearing work nobody internally wants to own. It elevates everything built on top.
- Most clients find information 60–80% faster within 30 days. The brain answers instead of a person.
- Stuff that makes the whole company better, not one workflow: drafting, answering, reporting, visibility.
- Maintained by us, forever. When models change or things break, that's our job, not yours.
- Teams typically recover 3–5 hours per person per week once Infrastructure is live.
- The team that owns the workflow usually builds the better agent, so we teach them, with perfect infrastructure underneath.
- Rather have it done? We build them for you. Same foundation, same quality bar.
- Each agent typically replaces 5–15 hours of repeatable manual work per week. Built once, runs forever.
Your data never leaves your business.
Everything we build runs on your own servers and your own accounts. We never store your data, you own all of the IP, and if we disappeared tomorrow it would all keep running. It is model-agnostic too: Claude today, whatever wins tomorrow.
See your AI audit before you ever talk to us
Drop in your company website. Our AI reads it and drafts the same report our audit delivers: opportunity matrix, sequenced build order, scoped builds with ROI, and who we’d interview. About 30 seconds, free.
Your team tells us what to build. Literally.
No year-long proof of concepts. No strategy decks. An audit that turns your team’s own words into a roadmap, then working systems within weeks.
Audit
We interview your team, 30 minutes each, up to 10 people. Those conversations become the spec. Go ahead with the build within 30 days and the fee comes straight back off it.
Roadmap
A ranked list of what to build, with ROI on every line. Share it internally; it doubles as the business case.
Build
The Company AI Brain plus your first agents, on your infrastructure, inside the tools you already use. No migration, no new platforms.
Maintain
It never breaks. We upgrade it as the models improve. Skills change weekly, and we keep up so you don't have to.
Worried how your team will take it?
The interviews are framed around one question: “what would make your job more enjoyable?” Your people leave excited, not scared. It’s their ideas that end up on the roadmap.
Change is scary. Pick people you trust.
AI transformation isn’t a software purchase. It’s a partnership. These are the people who’ll be in your corner.

- Runs audits and team workshops: teams leave buzzing, not bracing
- AI-native builder: shipped her own iOS app with AI tools alone
- The bridge between your team and the build

- Founded Speak Savvy: AI voice agents answering calls for small businesses
- Built online e-commerce at Vario: coding since age 10
- Builds the brains: company memory and agent infrastructure
You’d ask us these on the call anyway
Every question below is a real question from a real discovery call. So here are the answers, upfront.
Sensible instinct. Everything we build runs on your own servers and accounts, ring-fenced per person using your existing permissions: payroll stays with payroll. Nothing sits with us, and if we disappeared tomorrow it would all keep running. No AI policy yet? We write it with you first, so your whole team knows what they can and can't plug in.
Clients under AFSL obligations run this today: VC funds, family offices.Neither. You own all the IP, and what we build is deliberately model-agnostic: point Claude at it today, point whatever wins next year at it tomorrow. The models will keep leapfrogging each other; your foundation shouldn't care.
“Owning our own workflows, not depending on a vendor” is why clients pick us.No, and that instinct delays companies by a year. The brain makes sense of messy data: spreadsheets, inboxes, even three ERPs from old acquisitions. It actually cleans backwards, because wrong facts surface fast once everything is connected. Don't let the cleanup be the blocker.
“It's all in the inboxes” is the starting state for most of our clients.The audit is a flat $2,500 for up to 10 interviews. Go ahead with the build within 30 days of your report and the full $2,500 comes off it. Builds, the Company AI Brain included, are $5k–$25k each, quoted as a range and confirmed after a scoping call. Maintenance is about $1,000 per month per build. Everything is priced to be less than half the ROI it returns, and if the numbers don't work for your business, we'll tell you on the call.
One client's maths: “$1,000 a month is the equivalent of a day of my time.”Parts of it, yes, and they should. The team that owns a workflow usually builds the better agent, so we onboard your people to build that layer themselves, or we build it for you, your call. What nobody internally wants to build (or worse, maintain) is the foundation: the brain, the cross-team plumbing, the governance. That's the layer we own: specced once, maintained forever.
The DIY pattern we hear: it works for a week, then breaks, and you have a day job.It's the most common fear, and we handle it head-on. The audit interviews are framed around one question: what would make your job more enjoyable? We're removing the work a machine should do, not the people. Among our clients so far, nobody has downsized; they've redirected the hours into clients and the work that grows the business.
Owner-reported: 8 hours a week back on reporting alone.You've read the horror stories. So have we. You own your own Claude or OpenAI account. Our fees never include AI usage costs, and team subscriptions keep those flat and predictable. Maintenance is a flat monthly fee covering fixes, model upgrades, and improvements: no surprise bills from either side.
A brain that's right on day one and wrong by day 365 is worse than no brain: one wrong answer costs your team's trust. That's why maintenance is the product, not an afterthought. Daily ingestion, weekly accuracy passes, model upgrades as they ship, for about $1,000 per month per build. It becomes our problem, not yours.
Guarantee: your whole team getting value in 30 days, or we keep working free.Your AI brain live, your team using it. In 30 days.
Or we keep working until it is. No asterisks. No exit clauses. If your whole team isn’t getting value in 30 days, we haven’t finished.
