Claude setup for business · New Zealand

Put Claude to work as your business's AI employee.

We connect Claude to the tools you already use, train it on how your business works, and set it up to run the busywork around the clock. Not a chatbot you copy-paste into, an employee that gets things done.

Sound familiar?

The problems we solve every day

Drowning in busywork

Your team loses hours every week to email, admin, data entry, and reporting that could run itself

AI that hasn't paid off

You've tried ChatGPT, but copy-pasting prompts never turned into real hours or dollars saved

Tools that don't talk

Your work is scattered across Gmail, Xero, Notion, and a dozen tabs, and none of it connects

No more switching tabs

One AI, wired into the tools you already use

Claude plugs straight into your stack, so it can draft emails, update records, and pull data without you copy-pasting between apps.

Outlook
Google Drive

Build & connect

We set Claude up with your business context, connect your tools, and build the skills, automations, and agents that do the work.

3

Handover & support

We hand it over running, walk your team through it in plain English, and stay on call as your business grows.

Blake Harkness

Hi, I'm Blake.

I'm a Fractional AI Engineer based in New Zealand. I create educational AI content on social media and build real solutions for businesses behind the scenes, most often setting Claude up to run the day-to-day work. We focus on your problems first, not just selling the latest tool.

Unlike traditional consultants, we don't hand you a report and walk away. We stay hands-on from the first call through to a working Claude setup your team actually uses.
