KayvoBrain

One brain, built around your business.

AI is only as useful as what it knows about you. A Company Brain is one structured, secure environment where your team and your agents work from the same picture, with granular control over who and what sees each part. It is what we learned building structured data for people and AI to share, made into a place to work.

More than a dozen delivered since May 2026. The best-received solution we have ever built.

“Will and Dale built an AI brain setup for School Solutions and we can't go back to the old way of doing things. We have benefited beyond what we could have imagined, and the system continues to grow and break down complex tasks and turn them into automatic basics to keep our business effective and lean.”

Brad Cachopa, Director, School Solutions

“As a sustainability business, we were pretty AI-avoidant. That was until we worked with the team at Kayvo, and they showed us that AI, used efficiently, can be a powerful tool for increasing our impact. Everything is now neatly stored, with AI quietly automating the background work. Our system has pushed back needing an EA by six months, and saved us from making small mistakes.”

Questions, answered.

What does an AI agency do for an online store?

We find the jobs in your store that AI can take off your team, then build them: a Company Brain on your own data, automation and AI agents for stock, orders and products, and training so your people use it well. It starts with a free 30-minute consultation.

Who can automate supplier stock and orders for my online store in NZ?

Kayvo builds ecommerce automation for New Zealand and Australian online stores: supplier inventory sync, marketplace order sync into Shopify, drop-ship orders to suppliers, purchase orders and price and supplier scraping. Each one is built around your systems, with a person approving the steps that matter. We already run supplier stock sync and competitor price matching for an outdoor gear retailer, and marketplace order sync into Shopify for a furniture brand.

Can Kayvo set up ChatGPT or Claude for our team?

Yes. We set up ChatGPT, Claude and AI agents on your own business data through a Company Brain, with access set by role, then train your team to use it safely.

What is a Company Brain?

One structured, secure place for everything your business knows: products, orders, stock, suppliers, emails and meetings. Your team and your AI tools work from the same picture, with control over who sees what. More on Company Brains.

How much does an AI agency cost in NZ?

Most clients work with us on a monthly retainer. Roughly: from about $2,000 a month for smaller setups, around $4,000 a month where most businesses start, and $10,000 or more for larger builds. It works like having a fractional CTO and chief AI officer, for far less than a hire. The retainer covers building new automations and looking after what we have built, so if something breaks, we fix it. No set hours: we agree priorities in a monthly review, and there is no lock-in contract. One-off projects are available at a fixed price, agreed before anything starts. The first 30-minute consultation is free.

Is the AI consultation really free?

Yes. The first 30-minute consultation is free. Qualifying businesses can also receive a free AI deep dive and a roadmap they can implement with us or on their own.

Do you only work with businesses in Auckland?

No. We are based in Takapuna, Auckland, and work with online stores and product businesses across New Zealand and Australia.
