Your AI dividend
Move the sliders. Watch your annual dividend appear — in real New Zealand dollars.
Conservative estimate based on realistic AI time-savings on repetitive work (48 working weeks/year). Your real numbers depend on how you implement it — which is exactly what the recipe books map out.
The problem
It's either too generic to act on, too technical to trust, or gone stale the moment a tool updates. Here's what actually gets in the way — and what we fix.
Between quotes, site visits and clients, there's no spare hour to test five AI tools and work out which sticks.
"AI agent" gets thrown around constantly, but almost nobody shows what one is or how it fits a building or design business.
Tools and prices change monthly. A guide written in January is often wrong by June — ours is built to keep working.
Choose your track
A recipe book, not a textbook. Each is 18 do-it-now recipes across 6 phases — what you'll need, the method, a copy-paste prompt, and exactly what you'll end up with. Your progress saves to your account.

“AI drafts, you decide. Every Building Code and NZS 3604 value gets verified at the source. That's the golden rule these recipe books are built on.”

Builders, contractors and site-based businesses want the Builder Track (quotes, subbies, site admin, invoicing). Architectural designers and architects want the Designer Track (briefs, concepts, renders, consent & RFIs). Each unlocks only its own recipe book.
No. If you can copy and paste, you can do this. Every recipe gives you the exact prompt and step-by-step method — no coding, and the automation tools are all drag-and-drop.
Yes. It's built around NZ building consent, NZS 3604, the Building Code and how councils actually work — not generic overseas advice.
The golden rule throughout is “AI drafts, you decide.” You verify every Code value and every number at the source. AI speeds the work; you stay responsible for it.
