Built for your business, not sold off a shelf

Every business runs differently, so every project is scoped to your workflows, your tools, and your data. Here's the kind of work we take on.

Automated Data Pipelines

Pull data from your systems, synthesise it with AI, and land it where it's actually useful — reports, dashboards, CRMs, your inbox.

Great for agencies, accountants, and data-heavy operations

Workflow Automation

Map the manual work your team dreads — invoicing chases, onboarding, report prep, follow-ups — and replace it with systems that run themselves.

Great for tradies, professional services, and small teams

Custom AI Tools

Purpose-built AI assistants and automations for the jobs your business actually needs — not a generic chatbot pretending to help.

Great for anything that doesn't fit a template

Every project is scoped on a quick chat. Tell us what you're trying to automate and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help.

Hey, I'm Rowan

I've been building websites and digital systems for over 15 years. When AI tools started changing the game, I didn't just watch — I built with them. I created LittleNudge.io, an AI-powered application, and I've been at the forefront of customer-facing AI ever since.

I love systems. I love finding where businesses waste time and building automations that fix it. I started AITechGuy because too many small business owners were being priced out by enterprise consultants charging $30K+ for work that should take weeks, not months.

15 years of building digital products. Now I use that experience to implement AI that actually works for small teams. Based in New Zealand, working with clients worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need technical knowledge?

Not at all. We handle everything technical. You just need to know your business and your pain points — we take care of the rest.

What if AI doesn't work for my business?

That's what the free assessment is for. We'll tell you honestly if AI can help before you spend a dollar. And if it doesn't deliver after implementation, you get a full refund under our 30-day guarantee.

What tools do you actually use?

It depends on your needs, but commonly: ChatGPT/Claude for text processing, Zapier/Make.com for workflow automation, Tidio/Intercom for chatbots, and Grain.com for meeting notes. Most tools cost $20-100/month.

Will AI replace my employees?

No. AI handles the repetitive tasks your team hates — data entry, email sorting, report generation. Your people get to focus on the work that actually grows your business.

How is this different from just buying ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is one tool. We build complete automated workflows that connect your existing software — your email, CRM, accounting, project management — so data flows automatically without you touching it.

How long does implementation take?

5-7 days for a Quick Win (single automation), 2-3 weeks for a full Transformation (3-5 automations). We work fast because we've done this before and know what works.
