Octavius installs custom AI brains and AI workforces inside small and mid-sized businesses across New Zealand. Built in Auckland, delivered nationwide, two weeks from kickoff to handover. Yours from day one.
The mass-market AI tools that Australian and US consultants resell into the New Zealand market are configured for businesses three or four times your size. The voice agents speak with American accents that confuse your customers. The integrations don't connect to Nexus CRM, ServiceM8, or the accounting stacks New Zealand businesses actually run. The pricing logic doesn't know about GST. The cost structures don't scale down to a five-person operation.
Octavius builds custom. Every install is shaped around the way your specific business runs. New Zealand accent on the voice agent. Local time zone on the daily brief. Integration with Xero, Nexus, Hubspot, and the rest of the New Zealand stack. NZIER modelled that AI and automation could add NZD 8.6 billion to the New Zealand economy at scale. We work one business at a time toward the share each one can capture.
Every Foundation we install in New Zealand follows the same shape. The bespoke AI brain is trained on your business specifically. The data layer pulls signals from your existing operating systems. The starter workforce of one to three automations is live on day one: a voice agent on your inbound line, a quote follow-up engine, a daily brief on your phone, or whatever else the AI Strategy Intensive identified as your biggest hour-leak.
The build runs two weeks. By the end, you walk out with a working system, complete code in your accounts, IP paperwork signed, documentation pack, and your team trained. Octavius is optional from handover. The Foundation runs whether we stay involved or not.
The library on this site shows what we've built before. Voice agents answering inbound. Cold email running per-lead research at scale. Database reactivation waking dormant leads. Daily brief landing on your phone at 7 a.m. Proposal drafting compressed from two hours to ten minutes. Quote follow-up. Recall sequences. Sixteen distinct outcomes, each one shipped multiple times across New Zealand and Australia.
The right mix for your business gets scoped during the AI Strategy Intensive. Most starter installs ship one to three workforce automations live on day one. After that, additional automations stack onto the same Foundation, each one cheaper than the last because the brain already knows your business.
A sample of installs across New Zealand.
$312k of new lending originated in 90 days from dormant database reactivation. No new ad spend.
Missed calls dropped from 47% to zero. Online bookings climbed 32%. Appointment volume jumped 44%. Same front desk.
Owner took 10 days in Fiji two months after the install. Foundation ran inbound, quotes, and team execution. Revenue held.
Discovery Calls run on Zoom or by phone for clients outside Auckland. The AI Strategy Intensive is two hours one-to-one with Titus, also on Zoom for non-Auckland clients (in person for anyone in Greater Auckland who'd rather). The two-week build runs remotely with daily standups and async progress updates. The day 10 handover is a Zoom session with full documentation walk-through.
Plenty of New Zealand clients prefer in person. For Hamilton, Tauranga, Wellington, Christchurch and regional towns we'll come down for kickoff or handover where the scope justifies the travel. For most installs, remote delivery is faster and the work lands the same.
The Discovery Call is the way to find out whether what we build and what your business needs line up. Thirty minutes with Titus. No pitch deck. Honest read on whether the Foundation's a fit, or whether you'd be better off starting somewhere smaller.
If it's a fit, the next step is the AI Strategy Intensive and the proposal. If it's not, you leave the call with a clearer view of where the AI conversation's actually going for a business your size.
