Business automation. Real revenue.

Every missed call, slow follow-up
and manual task is lost revenue.

CRM: answering calls, qualifying leads and handling
business process automation behind the scenes.

About us
01
We scope it
We sit down with you, understand how your business actually works, and run an AI consulting session to figure out where automation will make the biggest difference.
02
We build it
The same people who scoped your project build every AI integration. No briefing documents lost in translation, just direct execution of your business automation.
03
We support it
You won't get handed off to a support team that's never seen your system. The people who built it are the ones you call when something needs changing or scaling up.
Why Choose Us. AI Agency, Done Differently.

AI consulting for small businesses
that delivers real outcomes.

Personal, End
to End

The same two people who sit down with you to scope the project are the ones who build it and support it after launch. No handoffs between departments, no junior staff learning on your dime.

We don't sell off-the-shelf packages. Every system we build is shaped around how your business actually works: your workflows, your team, your customers. Not a template with your logo on it.

We only build what genuinely changes your day-to-day operations. If an idea sounds impressive but won't move the needle for your business, we'll tell you, and suggest what will.

Two Kiwis who answer their own phones. No support queues, no ticket systems. We're invested in your success long-term, and we'll give you honest advice, even when that means talking you out of spending money.

"I honestly couldn't recommend this company more. My only regret is not listening to them a year ago. Jarrod encouraged me to bring AI into my business, but because I didn't fully understand it at the time, I dug my heels in and said no, and ended up selling my business instead. Knowing what I know now about how much easier they can make your operations, I would never have sold. Their systems genuinely transform the way you work."

"I had a great experience with this company. Their team is very friendly, professional, and quick to respond whenever an issue arises. As someone who doesn't have much knowledge of IT, I often don't know what to do when technical problems occur. Whenever I reached out for help, they took the time to guide me through the process and worked with me to resolve the issue."

"Fiord AI were great from the start. They've helped us on many projects, including one of our notable ones: a spam call blocker that analyzes incoming calls, prevents the calls from connecting, and saves our clients from having to deal with cold calls without having to manually exclude every call. A huge time saver. Thanks."
