AI back office for NZ businesses

Your inbox, calendar and morning — sorted before 8am.

One AI agent you text on WhatsApp or Telegram. It clears your inbox, sends a short recap every morning, watches traffic on your route, and tidies your calendar — only when you say so.

14-day pilot · NZ$299/mo + GST after · cancel by text

  • Auckland built, NZ owned
  • No new app to learn
  • Revoke access any time

The first hour of your day, gone before coffee.

  • 60 unread emails and the two that actually pay you are buried in the middle.
  • A double-booked 2pm discovered at 1:55, in the car park.
  • The invoice chase from Friday still unanswered — and it was urgent.

You run the business. The agent runs the admin.

See it work

Four texts that change your whole day.

Real shapes of the conversations you will have. Nothing here sends, spends or commits without you.

7:02 am, every morning

One recap: what landed overnight, what needs a decision, today's schedule, and traffic on your usual route.
Nice. Sort the rest.

Inbox, triaged

Clear my inbox before lunch.
Done — 63 down to 4. Quotes filed, invoices tagged, junk gone. Two need a yes from you:
1. David's roof quote — approve draft reply?
2. Account overdue 30 days — chase politely?

Calendar, watched

Heads up — David moved 11am to 11:45, which bumps into school pickup. Move it to 2:15?
Yes.
Moved and confirmed. Pickup untouched.

Traffic, before you leave

Tullolli ramp is slow again — leaving 8:10 instead of 7:55 still beats the crash tail-back.
Perfect, thanks.

What it does

A senior EA's judgement, at 3am, on your phone.

Inbox triage

Reads, labels, archives junk, unsubscribes the noise and drafts replies. Nothing sends without your approval.

A recap every morning

One short message at 7am: what landed, what needs you, today's schedule and traffic on your route. Skim it in ninety seconds.

A calendar that looks after itself

Reads bookings, catches clashes and double-books, proposes new times — and with an OK, reschedules and confirms for you.

Text it like staff

Plain English on WhatsApp or Telegram. No dashboards, no logins, no new app — it lives where you already are.

It asks before it acts

Anything involving money, people or promises comes back to you with a recommendation and a one-word approve.

Connected properly

Gmail or Microsoft 365 mail and calendar, via standard OAuth. Scoped read-and-draft access, revocable by you in a click.

How it works

Live in two business days.

  1. 01

    Text us

    A 15-minute call to map your mailbox, your calendar and what your mornings look like now.

  2. 02

    We set it up

    We connect your accounts, learn your tone, your priorities and your quiet hours. You review the rules before anything is live.

  3. 03

    You text your agent

    Approve the morning recap, clear the backlog, get your first hour back. Adjust anything by text, any time.

Common questions

Before you text us.

Which accounts can the agent connect to?

Gmail and Google Workspace mail and calendar, plus Microsoft 365 and Outlook mail and calendar. Anything else — ask us and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help.

Is my inbox connected safely?

We connect with standard OAuth using scoped read-and-draft access. Traffic is encrypted in transit, your data is not used to train models, and you can revoke access yourself at any time from your own account settings.

Will it send emails as me?

Nothing sends without your approval. The agent drafts replies and you approve them from your phone. You can unlock automatic sending for specific categories you choose, whenever you choose.

What if I don't use WhatsApp?

Telegram works exactly the same. Whatever you already have on your phone is the app you'll use — there is nothing new to learn.

How fast can we start?

Two business days after a short call. We connect your mail and calendar, learn your tone, priorities and quiet hours, then your 14-day pilot starts the day it goes live.

Does it talk to my customers?

It drafts; you approve. It never commits money, agrees dates or makes promises without you. For anything sensitive it comes back with a recommendation instead of acting.

Can I cancel?

Any time, by text. No contracts, no lock-in. Your accounts, your data and your calendar stay yours throughout.
