A free newsletter on practical AI for New Zealand organisations from Levy Street: what changed, what it means, and what to do about it. Written by engineers.

## Short answer

Levy Street's newsletter is a free, practical note on AI for New Zealand organisations, written by the engineers who build AI systems. Each issue covers what changed (models, prices, rules such as the Privacy Act's IPP 3A), what it means for New Zealand businesses, and one concrete thing to do about it, and it only arrives when there is something worth saying.


## What you get

Each issue covers a few things that matter for New Zealand organisations using AI, written in plain language by people who build the systems:


- **What changed**: New models, prices, rules and products, and which ones actually matter here. For example, the Privacy Act's new principle IPP 3A, in force since 1 May 2026.
- **What it means**: The practical effect on cost, risk and what is now possible for NZ businesses.
- **What to do**: One concrete action, often linking to a lesson, template or calculator you can use straight away.
- **From the lab**: Notes from our own products and research, such as [World of ClaudeCraft](/portfolio/world-of-claudecraft/) and [GTM-Bench](/portfolio/gtm-bench/).


## Who it is for

Owners, operations leaders, technology leads and board members at New Zealand organisations who need to make good decisions about AI without reading everything. Engineers will find the [engineering guides](/engineering/) more detailed.
