Know exactly where AI
fits in your business.
Honest, vendor-agnostic advice on where AI can genuinely help your business - and where it can't. A clear roadmap, prioritised by ROI, not by what's trendy.
Everyone is selling AI.
Nobody is being honest.
The AI landscape is noisy. Every vendor promises transformation. It's hard to know what will actually move the needle for your business.
No idea where to start
AI can apply to almost every part of a business - which makes starting feel impossible. A good strategy cuts through the noise and tells you exactly where to begin.
Vendor pitches that aren't objective
When you talk to an AI vendor, they're selling their product. You need advice from someone whose only interest is what's right for your specific business.
Budget spent on the wrong things
Generic AI tools bought without a strategy often sit unused. A clear roadmap aligned to your actual workflows means every dollar goes somewhere it will create a return.
Six consulting deliverables.
One clear direction.
Every engagement is tailored to where you are right now - whether you've never touched AI or you're looking to go deeper.
AI Readiness Assessment
We review your current systems, data quality, team capability, and workflows to give you an honest view of where your business sits on the AI readiness spectrum.
Workflow Mapping
We document how your business actually operates - the processes, the handoffs, the bottlenecks - and identify which ones are most suited to AI automation.
Opportunity Prioritisation
Ranked list of automation opportunities by ROI, feasibility, and time to value. You know exactly which to tackle first and why.
Vendor-Agnostic Tool Recommendations
We recommend the right tools for your specific situation - whether that's a simple off-the-shelf integration or a fully custom build. No kickbacks, no preferred vendors.
ROI Modelling
Projected time savings, cost reductions, and revenue impact for each opportunity. Concrete numbers to make the case internally and measure success after implementation.
Implementation Roadmap
A phased, practical plan for how to implement AI across your business - what to build, in what order, with what resources, over what timeline.

Strategy built for
your specific industry.
AI strategy looks different in a trade business than it does in a professional services firm. We bring industry context to every engagement.
From conversation to
live and running in weeks.

Strategy backed by real
implementation experience.
Our strategy advice is grounded in what we actually build. We don't recommend anything we haven't implemented - or wouldn't build ourselves.
Advice from people who build things
We're not pure consultants. We build AI agents and automations every week. Our strategy recommendations come from real implementation experience.
Honest about what won't work
We'll tell you when AI isn't the right answer. Our reputation depends on giving you accurate advice, not on selling you a project.
No jargon, no generic frameworks
Plain English, specific to your business. No 50-slide decks full of buzzwords. A clear answer to the question: where do we start?
Auckland-based, NZ-focused
We understand the NZ business environment, the tools Kiwi businesses use, and the specific compliance requirements that apply here.
Often the starting point for
everything else we build.
AI Opportunity Audit
A focused, structured audit of your workflows to find the highest-value automation wins - with clear ROI estimates.
Custom AI Agents
Once you know where AI fits, we build the agents to make it happen - designed around your specific workflows.
Workflow Automation
Strategy identifies the processes. Automation makes them run without human triggers.
What Kiwi businesses say
after working with us.
"Our sales team used to spend three hours a day on follow-ups. Stride's AI agent handles it automatically now. We're converting more leads and my team actually finishes work on time."
"We used to quote every job manually - phone calls back and forth, always losing work to whoever responded first. Stride built us a quoting automation that handles it end to end. Quotes go out in seconds now."
"The AI-powered website and shuttle booking solution Stride built transformed how we run operations. Bookings are fully automated and our customers love how easy it is to use."
