AI automation for New Zealand businesses.

We help Auckland and New Zealand SMEs and agencies automate the manual, repetitive work that drains time and money — operations, admin and recurring workflows — and deploy custom AI agents that do the job quietly in the background.

What is Kanaky Tech?

Kanaky Tech is an AI automation agency operating from Auckland (and Nouméa), founded in 2024, helping New Zealand SMEs and agencies automate manual business processes and deploy custom AI agents. We are private-by-default and available under NDA, and we are registered in New Zealand (NZBN 9429053554017). The model is simple: a free AI audit first, then a fast, scoped quick-win so you see value before committing to anything larger.

Most New Zealand businesses do not have an AI problem — they have a repetition problem. Quotes typed out by hand, the same onboarding emails every week, reports rebuilt from scratch each month, leads triaged manually. Each task is small; together they swallow days. As an AI automation agency in Auckland, our job is to find that work and let software do it, so your people spend their time on the things only people can do.

We are deliberately a business automation NZ partner, not a software vendor selling licences. We start from your actual workflows, build automation around the tools you already use, and frame everything around payback. If you are looking for an AI consultant in Auckland who ships working systems rather than slide decks, that is the gap we fill — and we do it the same way across New Caledonia and the wider Pacific.

What we automate for NZ businesses

Operations & admin

The recurring back-office work that quietly eats hours — data moved between tools, statuses updated, follow-ups sent. We automate the loop so it runs itself.

Client onboarding

New client signs — and a chain of emails, forms, account setup and intro docs fires automatically. Consistent every time, with no one chasing the checklist.

Reporting

Monthly and weekly reports pulled together from your tools and written up automatically — the same numbers, the same format, without the rebuild-from-scratch ritual.

Lead qualification

Inbound enquiries scored, sorted and routed automatically, so your team talks to the right people first instead of sifting the inbox.

Proposal & quote generation

Quotes and proposals drafted from a few inputs — accurate calculations, your wording, your pricing — turning a 30-minute job into a 30-second one.

Internal knowledge

Scattered docs, SOPs and past projects turned into a private AI knowledge base your team can simply ask — answers in seconds, not a search through folders.

These are the patterns we see again and again across New Zealand SMEs and agencies. The right starting point is rarely the most exciting one — it is the most repetitive one. Our free AI audit exists to find it, and our business process automation work turns it into a system that runs without you.

Why agencies & SMEs work with us
01

Fast quick-wins, not long programmes

The first engagement is one scoped workflow, built and embedded fast. You see a working result early — then we decide together what is worth automating next.

02

Private AI by default

Your business data runs in controlled environments and is never used to train public or consumer AI models. Sensitive work is available under NDA. See private AI systems.

03

No lock-in

We build around the tools you already run, not a platform you are forced to rent forever. The automations are yours, designed to keep working if we step back.

04

Founder-led

You work directly with the AI systems architect building your automation — Kevyn Wahuzue, a digital entrepreneur of seven years — not a junior handed your account.

How we work — Audit → Design → Build → Embed
01

Audit

We map your workflows and find where automation pays back fastest. This is the free AI audit — no commitment, just a clear picture of the opportunity.

02

Design

We scope one quick-win and design the automation around your existing tools, your data boundaries and how your team actually works.

03

Build

We build the system — automations, AI agents, integrations — in a controlled, private-by-default environment, then test it against real cases.

04

Embed

We put it live inside your operation, hand over how it works, and expand from a proven win rather than a speculative roadmap.

Proof — real systems in production

We would rather show working systems than quote invented numbers. Here is real, honestly framed evidence of what AI automation looks like when it ships — drawn from our own builds and internal demonstrations.

Internal demonstration

50-product visual campaign: ~25 hours to ~20 minutes

The work
Producing a full 50-product visual campaign — the kind of repetitive production an agency or retailer runs constantly — done the manual way.
The pipeline
An AI visual-production pipeline that took the same campaign from roughly 25 hours of manual work to about 20 minutes. This is the engine behind Keou AI, our white-label visual-production platform (keou.systems).
Honest framing
This is a measured internal demonstration of a production pipeline, not a guaranteed result for every client — your numbers depend on your workflow, which is exactly what the audit establishes.
Live in production

mcp-datagouv-nc — a live Model Context Protocol server

What it is
The first MCP server exposing New Caledonia's open-data portal to AI agents, so tools like Claude can query public datasets natively. It is live and running.
Why it matters
It is concrete proof that we build and operate real AI-agent infrastructure — not just connect off-the-shelf apps. The same engineering is what stands behind a custom AI agent in Auckland.

FAQ

Any New Zealand SME or agency that spends staff hours on repetitive, rules-based work — quoting, onboarding, reporting, data entry, lead qualification or chasing information across tools. If your team is doing the same manual task again and again, that task is a candidate for automation.

Kanaky Tech works best with owner-led businesses and agencies in Auckland and across NZ that want a fast, scoped first result rather than a long enterprise programme.

It depends on scope, so we start with a free AI audit to map where automation pays back fastest. From there, pricing is quoted per project against a specific workflow rather than a fixed package — we do not publish a single price because a one-screen quote tool and a multi-system reporting pipeline are very different jobs.

The first engagement is usually a small, scoped quick-win so you can see the value before committing further.

Typically: operations and back-office admin, client onboarding, recurring reporting, lead qualification and routing, proposal and quote generation, and turning scattered internal documents into a searchable AI knowledge base.

A good rule of thumb — if a task is repetitive, rules-based and eats time every week, it can usually be automated or assisted by an AI agent. The audit identifies which of these will pay back fastest for your specific business.

Yes. Kanaky Tech is private-by-default: your business data runs in controlled environments and is never used to train public or consumer AI models.

Engagements are available under NDA, and sensitive workflows can be designed so your data stays inside infrastructure you control.

Yes. Agencies partner with Kanaky Tech to deliver AI automation and visual production to their own clients under their own brand — including through Keou AI, our white-label visual-production platform (keou.systems).

You keep the client relationship; we build and run the systems behind it under NDA.

The first engagement is deliberately scoped as a quick-win: one clearly defined workflow, built and embedded fast, so you see a working result early rather than waiting on a long project.

Larger or multi-system automations follow once the first win is proven. Exact timing depends on the workflow and your tools, which the free audit clarifies upfront.
