What does an AI consultant do?
An AI consultant finds the places where AI will save a business time or money, then plans how to get there. Kane Pickett reviews your workflows, identifies the repetitive work worth automating, recommends the right tools, and gives you a clear, costed plan. Kane can then build the solution, so the advice never stalls at a slide deck.
What can AI automation do for a small business?
AI automation takes repetitive, rules-based work off your team. Kane Pickett builds AI agents, custom chatbots and workflow automations that answer customer enquiries, process documents and emails, move data between apps, and draft reports. Most builds use LLM APIs with tools like n8n and Make.com, connected to the software you already use.
How much does AI consulting cost in Christchurch?
Kane Pickett's AI consulting is billed hourly or on a monthly retainer, in NZD. AI automation and agent builds are quoted as a fixed flat rate after a free 30-minute discovery call, so the price is agreed before work begins.
Do I need a technical team to use AI automation?
No. Kane Pickett builds, tests and deploys each automation, then hands it over with full documentation. For businesses without in-house developers, Kane offers an Operations & Care retainer that keeps websites and AI systems online, monitored and up to date.
Does Kane Pickett only do AI work?
No. AI consulting and automation is Kane Pickett's main focus, but Kane is also a full stack developer. Kane builds marketing websites, landing pages and custom web applications with Next.js, React, Tailwind CSS and Supabase, often alongside the AI systems that run behind them.
Where is Kane Pickett based?
