AI services, from first workflow to production.
Advice when you need a plan, engineering when you need it built, and training so your team can run with it. Every engagement is measured against a number you already track.
Short answer
Levy Street provides AI consulting, custom AI development, AI agents, workflow automation, integrations, evaluation, governance and team training for New Zealand organisations. Most clients start with a scoped workflow assessment, then either buy an existing tool, build a narrow production system, or embed our engineers with their operators until the system runs reliably.

ReadQuestions people ask
Where should a New Zealand business start with AI?
Start with one workflow that is repetitive, measurable and costly when it is slow: inbox triage, document handling, reporting or research are common first picks. Map it with the people who do it, decide what AI may and may not do, and measure the result before expanding. A workflow assessment does exactly this.
Do you only build custom software?
No. Often the right answer is an off-the-shelf tool such as ChatGPT, Claude or Microsoft Copilot, configured well and backed by training. We recommend a custom build only when the workflow depends on your own data, rules or systems in a way a generic product cannot handle. See custom AI versus off-the-shelf tools.
Do you work outside Wellington?
Yes. We are based in Wellington and work with organisations across New Zealand, including Auckland and Christchurch. Discovery is usually on site; build work runs remotely with regular in-person sessions.
Have something to build?
Tell us about the workflow. We will map where AI can change speed, margin or decision quality, and what it would take to run it in production.
