What we build with LLMs
Custom LLM applications
Assistants, copilots and internal tools built around your workflows, not a generic chat window.
LLM integration
Add GPT, Claude or Gemini to your existing product through secure, well-tested APIs.
Open-source and private models
Deploy Llama and other open models on your own cloud when data must stay in-house.
Fine-tuning and evaluation
Tune models on your examples and measure accuracy with test sets before and after launch.
Guardrails and safety
Input and output filtering, PII masking, grounding checks and human review where needed.
Cost and latency optimisation
Model routing, caching and prompt design that keep responses fast and bills predictable.
How we approach LLM development
Choosing the right model
There is no single best model. We compare OpenAI, Claude, Gemini and open-source options on your real tasks for accuracy, speed, cost and data handling, and design the app so the model can be swapped later without a rewrite.
Grounded in your data
Most business value comes from connecting the model to your documents, databases and tools. We use retrieval (RAG), function calling and agents so answers come from your information and actions happen in your systems.
Built for production, not demos
We add evaluation test sets, logging, monitoring, rate limits, fallbacks and cost alerts from day one, so the app keeps working well after launch and you can see exactly what it is doing.
Security and compliance
Data minimisation, encryption, access control and providers configured not to train on your data. For healthcare we build to HIPAA requirements with BAAs in place for any service that touches PHI.
Built for New Zealand teams
Time-zone overlap
Indian mornings overlap with New Zealand afternoons, so you get a daily stand-up in your working day, and work moves forward overnight.
The New Zealand Privacy Act 2020
We design to the Information Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 2020, host data in Australian or New Zealand cloud regions when required, and sign NDAs and data agreements before work starts.
Billing
Invoices in New Zealand dollars (NZD) or US dollars. Typical senior rates are $25 to $49 (USD) per hour, or a fixed price for a defined scope.
Built for New Zealand's key sectors
New Zealand companies work with us for SaaS, AI automation and mobile apps, getting senior engineering capacity with a working overlap every day and progress overnight.
Dairy and agriculture
Exporters invest in farm data and supply-chain traceability. AI here usually means faster reporting, fewer manual steps and better customer replies.
Tourism
Operators rely on online bookings and global marketing. We start with one costly process and automate it end to end.
Film and creative tech
Studios adopt digital production and VFX tooling. We build AI agents, assistants and automation around these workflows.
SaaS
Small domestic market pushes software firms to sell globally. AI here usually means faster reporting, fewer manual steps and better customer replies.
