WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND
Based in Upper Hutt, serving the Wellington region and all of New Zealand. I build AI systems that automate the work your team shouldn't be doing manually. MBIE AI Advisory Pilot eligible — the government co-funds up to 50% of consulting costs.
AI consulting isn't just about technology. It's about understanding your business, your team, and the way things actually work in New Zealand.
No 3am calls with offshore teams. I work NZ hours, I understand NZ business culture, and I can meet you in person across the Wellington region.
I'm registered to deliver work under the MBIE pilot. If you qualify, the government co-funds up to 50% of consulting costs — up to $15,000 off your bill.
I know the tools NZ businesses actually use — Xero, Shopify, Airtable, Google Workspace. I've built systems for farms, wellness practitioners, e-commerce brands, and community organisations.
Most consultants hand you a PDF and an invoice. I build the actual systems — automated workflows, connected tools, AI agents — and hand you working infrastructure.
Every engagement starts with understanding where you are and where AI can make the biggest difference. No lock-in contracts, no retainers you don't need.
A 90-minute deep dive into your business. We map your workflows, identify the highest-impact automation opportunities, and produce a written AI roadmap. You walk away knowing exactly where to start.
Ideal for: Businesses exploring AI for the first time
I spend a week inside your tools — your CRM, your email, your project management, your accounting. I document every manual handoff, every copy-paste, every 'someone has to do this' task. Then I build a prioritised implementation plan with time-saved estimates.
Ideal for: Businesses ready to commit but unsure what to build first
I build and deploy the AI systems for you. Automated workflows, connected tools, AI agents that handle routine work. Includes 30 days of monitoring and tuning after launch. You get working infrastructure, not a proposal.
Ideal for: Businesses ready to move — want it built, not just planned
All tiers are eligible for MBIE AI Advisory Pilot co-funding. Pricing discussed on discovery call.

ABOUT BILLY
I'm Billy Lewis. I live in the Mangaroa Valley, Upper Hutt, with my family. I run a regenerative farm, an AI consulting practice, and several other organisations — all from a Mac Mini in my home office.
Before AI, I was a videographer. Ten years of brand films, documentaries, and corporate work across New Zealand and internationally. I know what it's like to run a small business here. The tools, the constraints, the way things work when you don't have a department for everything.
I didn't learn to code in a CS degree. I learned by building systems my farm needed and couldn't afford to hire for. Now I build those same systems for other businesses — using the same tools, the same approach, the same philosophy: build things that work, connect them together, and let AI handle the repetitive parts so humans can do the work that matters.
One discovery call. We figure out where AI fits in your business, whether MBIE funding applies, and what the first build looks like. No obligation.
