Overseas AI tools were not
built for New Zealand.

Generic AI tools do not know the Employment Relations Act, GST at 15%, or how NZ business culture actually works. Kauri Labs does, because we are from here.

NZ law baked in

Employment Relations Act 2000, Privacy Act 2020, Holidays Act, PAYE, and GST at 15%. Our AI is trained on NZ legislation, not US or UK law.

NZ English by default

Colour not color. Organisation not organization. "Kia ora" and "Ngā mihi" used naturally. Your customers will not realise it is AI-assisted.

Hosted in the NZ region

All data processed in AWS ap-southeast-2 (Sydney). Privacy Act 2020 compliant. Your business data stays in this part of the world.

Priced in NZD

No $99 USD that becomes $163 NZD after the exchange rate. Kauri Labs products are priced in New Zealand dollars. What you see is what you pay.

Local support in Upper Hutt

We are based in Upper Hutt in the Wellington region. You can email us, call us, or meet for a coffee anywhere in the Hutt Valley or Wellington.

NZ today. Global tomorrow.

Our NZ products are the proof-of-concept for our global platform. Revenue here funds the roadmap. Traction here becomes the investor story.
