Hey, does the Ridgeline 2 tent fit in the back of a Jimny with the seats down?
2:13 am
It does. Packed, the Ridgeline 2 is 52 × 18 cm, and the pole bag is 48 cm, so it sits flat across a Jimny's boot with the seats down (about 90 cm). Plenty of room for a pack beside it.

And if it doesn't work out can I return it?
2:14 am
Yes. Unused gear can come back within 60 days for a refund or exchange, and we cover the return courier inside NZ. If you've pitched it once in the backyard that's fine too; just keep the bags. Want me to email you the returns label now so it's there if you need it?

Order 4821 left our Penrose warehouse Tuesday with NZ Post and was scanned in Christchurch at 6:40 pm tonight. It's due at your door tomorrow before 5 pm. I've turned on text updates for you.

Last one. Could you do a custom colour run of 200 for a school group?
2:16 am
That one I don't want to guess at. I've passed it to Sam with your details and the quantity, and you'll have an answer by 9 am. Anything else tonight?

Chatbot development · Auckland

It does three things, and it does them all night.

1

Answers customers instantly, from your own information

Your FAQ, your product details, your policies, your orders. It replies in seconds, in your tone, at 2 am on a Sunday, in whatever language the customer writes in.

2

Gets smarter every week

Add a document, answer an email, tidy an FAQ: it learns from each one. The more you use it, the less you hear from it.

3

Passes the hard ones to you

When it's not sure, or the question is about money, health or a complaint, it says so and hands over to a person, with the chat and a draft reply ready.

Works on any website, and anywhere your customers message you

Try it

Ask it something.
Then ask it something hard.

Pick a business and ask its chatbot anything. It answers from that business's own information, shows where the answer came from, and hands over when it should.

How sure it must be

Less sure than this, and it hands over to a person. Money, health, complaints and cancellations always go to a person.

How it happens

Fed in a day,
live in two weeks.

The slowest part is gathering what it needs to know, and we help with that. The rest is rules, tone and a launch on whatever your site runs on.

Ways to work

An assistant, an agent,

A set-up fee to feed it and teach it where to stop, then a monthly fee that covers hosting, the models and the learning loop. No per-conversation pricing, because the 2 am questions are the point.

Fair
questions.

It answers only from what you have fed it, shows its sources, and hands over below the confidence you set. Where an answer would be expensive to get wrong (money, health, legal, cancellations) we add a rule that always sends it to a person.

All of them. A single line of code on any website, native apps for Shopify, WordPress and Webflow, and the same brain on Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram, email and SMS. If your site was built by someone else, that's fine.

Three ways: documents and pages you add, support emails and chat transcripts you let it read, and every answer you edit or send yourself. Each one updates its knowledge; nothing is retrained in the dark.

It says so and hands the conversation to a person with the full context and a draft reply. You set the threshold. Most clients start cautious and loosen it as the weekly report earns trust.

It sounds like you. We write a tone guide from your existing replies and test it against your real questions before launch. Short, warm and Kiwi is the most common brief.

Hosted in Sydney or Auckland, your documents and conversations never used to train anything outside your bot, and deletable on request. The Privacy Act is built into the design.

The Assistant in two weeks, The Agent in three. The slowest part is usually gathering the documents, and we help with that.
