AI by industry
Custom AI, built for your kind of business
Generic AI advice is easy to find and hard to use. These pages are the opposite — what AI actually does in a specific trade, which workflows are worth automating first, and what it's realistically worth in hours and dollars.

Don't see your industry?
These are the industries we've written up so far — they aren't the limit of what we do. The underlying work is the same in almost every business: something repetitive, rules-based and time-consuming that a person is currently doing by hand. If that describes part of your week, it's very likely automatable, whatever the industry.
The fastest way to find out is to build a blueprint. Tell the builder what kind of business you run and what's eating your time, and it assembles a starting plan with real numbers — no email required, nothing to install.
Proof, not a pitch deck
We didn't just write about this — we built it
Quarvois our own platform, running a real New Zealand business every day: quoting, scheduling, invoicing, bank reconciliation and a full set of accounts, with an AI manager called Torq sitting across the whole thing. It runs on our own GPU hardware in New Zealand — so the data never leaves the country, and there's no per-token bill to a US API.
That's the difference between a consultancy that talks about AI and one that ships it. Everything on this page is something we've actually had to make work in production.
Talk to an engineer, not a salesperson
Ring either of us directly. You'll speak to the person who'd actually build it — no gatekeeping, no discovery call before anyone technical shows up.
