FOR BUSINESSES BLEEDING TIME ON MANUAL WORK

Your team spends 20 hours
a week on thingsan AI could do in 20 minutes.

Copy-pasting between apps. Manually entering data. Chasing invoices. Compiling reports. Your competitor automated the same thing with Claude last Tuesday. I help you do the same — and I build it myself.

Not sure where to start? Take the 2-minute calculator first.

This is for you if...

You know AI could help your business but you don't know where to start

You've tried ChatGPT a few times but nothing actually stuck or saved real time

Your team copies data between apps, spreadsheets, and email — every single day

You're paying people to do repetitive work that feels like it should be automated

You want to use AI but you don't trust the hype and you've been burned by consultants before

You've seen competitors move faster and you suspect they're using AI tools you haven't figured out yet

Here's what the “traditional” path looks like.

You want one automation. Just one. Here's what it costs the normal way.

Virtual assistant

to manually copy data between systems

$25-40/hr
Management consultant

to tell you what to automate (not build it)

$300/hr
Freelance developer

to actually build the thing

$150/hr
Project timeline

before anything is live

2-4 months
SaaS subscriptions

for Zapier, Make, and middleware you barely understand

$500+/mo
Total for one automation$5-15K

That's $5,000 to $15,000 and months of waiting — for one workflow. The consultant delivers a deck. The developer builds to spec (not to your actual needs). The VA quits. And you still don't understand the system well enough to fix it when something breaks.

Meanwhile, your competitor automated the same thing with Claude last Tuesday. One person. One afternoon. Running in production by Wednesday morning. That's the gap. And it's getting wider every week.

A DIFFERENT MODEL

AI consulting that
actually delivers systems.

Not a slide deck. Not a strategy document you'll never implement. I identify what to automate, build it myself, run it for a month free, and you only pay ongoing if it works.

Discovery Call

60 minutes on Zoom. I map your workflows, identify the highest-ROI automations, and give you a written roadmap you can act on immediately.

Integration Audit

2-hour deep-dive into your full tech stack. Written report with 3-5 automation specs, architecture diagrams, and cost-benefit analysis for each.

Managed Automation

I build the system, run it for one month free. If it delivers, we agree on an ongoing management rate. If it doesn't, you owe nothing.

AI-Native Systems

Not Zapier chains or no-code band-aids. Purpose-built AI agents using Claude, MCP tools, and custom integrations that actually understand your business.

ROI-First Approach

Every automation gets a cost-benefit analysis before we build it. If the math doesn't work, I'll tell you. No wasted spend.

Monthly Performance Reports

Managed automations come with clear metrics. You see exactly how much time and money the system is saving, every month.

Three steps. That's it.

01

Get in touch

60 minutes on Zoom. Bring your problems, your tech stack, your frustrations. You walk away with a written roadmap regardless.

02

Get your automation roadmap

A prioritised list of automations with estimated ROI, implementation order, and a clear picture of what to build first.

03

We build and manage it

I build the system, run it for a month free, and you only pay ongoing if it delivers real results. No lock-in.

CASE STUDIES

These aren't demos. They're running right now.

Mangaroa Farms — a regenerative farm in New Zealand. Overnight AI agents process orders, manage inventory, send newsletters, run social media, and compile board reports. The marketing team is me and a collection of AI systems.

BROS — a nationwide men's circle movement. I built their event platform, meeting notes system, and coordination tools. The site was built with Claude Code in hours, not months.

Lucid Living — a breathwork practice. Full booking system, health screening, Stripe payments, automated email confirmations, 24-hour reminders, Zoom integration. Monthly running costs: $0.

“Billy didn't just tell us what to automate — he built it, ran it, and proved it worked before we paid a cent for ongoing management. The overnight agents handle work that used to take me half a day.”

What consulting normally costs — vs. this.

Honest comparison. No inflated numbers.

You walk away with a written roadmap, quick wins list, and follow-up email. Not a pitch for more consulting.

Start with a discovery call. Go deeper with an audit. Or hand the whole thing to me.

Start with a call

1 month free on managed automation.

I build it, I run it, I prove it works. You only pay ongoing management if the system actually delivers. If it doesn't, you owe nothing for the trial month. The discovery call comes with a written roadmap regardless of what you decide next.

Limited availability. One person, real delivery.

I'm one person on a farm in New Zealand. I don't have a team of junior consultants. When you book me, you get me — the same person who built 50+ AI tools and runs 6 brands. That means I take a limited number of clients at a time.

Built by someone who ships, not someone who advises.

I'm Billy. I run a regenerative farm in New Zealand, a national men's circle movement, and a wellness booking platform — all powered by AI systems I built myself. 50+ MCP tools in production. Autonomous agents that work while I sleep.

I run AI strategy workshops with the Regional Business Partner Network (RBPN) and WellingtonNZ, helping NZ businesses integrate AI into their strategy. Before AI, I spent 10 years as a freelance creative — videography, web development, brand work. All manual. Very labour-intensive. I know what it feels like to do everything yourself and wonder if there's a better way. There is.

I don't sell frameworks or courses. I don't deliver slide decks and disappear. I build things that work, I run them in production, and I'll tell you honestly if AI isn't the right answer for your problem.

Questions you probably have.

What industries do you work with?
Any business with repetitive workflows that could be automated. I've built systems for agriculture, events, wellness, e-commerce, and professional services. The principles are the same — find the manual bottleneck, build the AI system, prove it works.
How long does it take to see results?
Discovery call: you walk away same day with a roadmap. Integration audit: written report within 5 business days. Managed automation: most systems are built and running within 2-4 weeks, not months. The free trial month starts when the system goes live.
What if AI isn't the right answer for my problem?
I'll tell you. Honestly. Some problems are better solved with a spreadsheet, a better process, or hiring someone. If your discovery call reveals that AI isn't the move, you still get a useful roadmap — just focused on the right solution instead.
Do you work with remote clients?
Yes. Everything is done over Zoom. I work with clients in New Zealand, Australia, the US, and the UK. Time zones have never been a real issue — we find a slot that works.
I'm in a different timezone. Is that a problem?
I'm based in New Zealand (NZST / UTC+12). I typically take calls between 7am-6pm NZ time, which overlaps with evening hours in the US and morning hours in Europe. Async communication via email works well between calls.
What does 'managed automation' actually include?
I build the system, deploy it, monitor it, fix issues, and send you a monthly performance report. You get direct access to me via email or Zoom. If the system needs updates as your business changes, that's included. It's like having a fractional AI ops person.
What's the difference between a discovery call and an audit?
The discovery call is a 60-minute conversation. You get a roadmap and quick wins. The audit is a 2-hour deep-dive with a full written report — architecture diagrams, 3-5 detailed automation specs, cost-benefit analysis, and 30 days of priority access. The audit is for businesses ready to commit to implementation. Pricing is discussed when you get in touch.
Can I start with a discovery call and upgrade later?
Yes, and most clients do. The discovery call fee is credited toward an audit or managed engagement if you decide to go further within 30 days.

Get in touch.

Tell me a bit about your business and what you're looking for. I'll get back to you within 24 hours with next steps — whether that's a call, an audit, or just pointing you in the right direction.

No sales pitch. No chatbot. Goes straight to Billy.

Stop paying people to do
what AI can do for free.

Every week you wait is another week of manual work that didn't need to happen. One call. One roadmap. Real systems that run while you sleep.
