AI & automation for NZ small business · Auckland

Find where AI actually pays off in your business.

We find the processes in your business worth automating and build on the tools you already run, such as XeroMYOBMicrosoft 365Google WorkspaceHubSpot and the spreadsheets you live in.

The process

Four steps. No surprises.

  1. Talk

    Free · 60–90 min

    We come to you, look at how the work actually flows, and tell you honestly whether there's anything worth doing.

  2. Assess

    Fixed price, quoted upfront

    The AI Opportunity Assessment: a written roadmap of the jobs worth automating, what each costs you now, what fixing it is worth, and a fixed quote. Yours to keep, fully credited against any build within 90 days.

  3. Deliver

    Train, build, or both

    The assessment prescribes the right treatment: sometimes your team just needs the tools and the training; sometimes a job deserves a tool of its own. Details below.

  4. Support

    Ongoing support plan

    We keep it running: monitoring, fixes under warranty, updates when your business changes, and training for new staff.

Services

Two ways we deliver.

Enable

AI in your people's hands

Fixed price delivered in days to weeks, depending on scope

Your team set up to use AI properly on their everyday work, the same tools we run our own firm on.

  • Setup of Claude for your team, configured for your business
  • Safety rules: what can go into AI, what never does
  • Hands-on training on your actual documents and tasks, not demos
  • Use-case scan: where AI will pay off first for you

Right when: the work is varied and judgment stays with a person, like research, drafting, summarising, or one-off analysis.

Every build ships with

  • Real-scenario testing
  • User & operations manuals
  • Team training
  • Defect warranty
  • A support plan

Run your numbers

Is the job even worth automating?

Pick one recurring job and drag the sliders. If the maths says don't hire us, it will say so.

Across everyone who touches it.

Wages plus overhead. Be honest.

Deliberately rough and conservative: assumes automation takes ~80% of the manual time over 48 working weeks, and includes the cost of ongoing support. The real answer comes from the free 60–90 min talk.

Drag the sliders

We'll tell you whether this one's worth a build, a training day, or nothing at all.

Before you ask

The questions owners actually ask.

What happens to our data?

Before anything runs, we set safety rules with you: what can go into AI, and what never does. Those rules are written down, and your team is trained on them.

What if it breaks after you leave?

Every build ships with a defect warranty and an ongoing support plan: monitoring, fixes, and updates when your business changes.

Will we be locked into you?

No. Every build is documented, with user guides and an operations manual, and your team is trained to run it without us.

Do you work outside Auckland?

STAS is Auckland-based and works with businesses across New Zealand. The first talk is free either way.

Is AI actually ready for this?

For some jobs, yes; for others, no. Telling you which is which is the entire point of the assessment. If the honest answer is "you don't need us", that's what it will say.

About

The person who does the work.

STAS is deliberately a one-person firm. The engineer who scopes your job is the one who builds it, tests it, trains your team, and answers the phone afterwards.

Josiah Santos, founder of Saints Technologies & Services

I'm Josiah Santos, STAS's founder, an engineer who got tired of watching good businesses lose hours to jobs a machine should be doing.

I run STAS from Auckland, and the work is hands-on: I come to you, learn how your business actually runs, and put AI to work on the parts that don't need a human, and to do it properly, with testing, documentation, and a warranty behind it.

No sales team, no juniors, no handoffs. If we work together, you deal with me.

Working together

How I work.

  • An honest first call

    If there's nothing worth automating, I'll say so and leave you to it.

    Agreed before work starts; no hourly meters.

  • Built to be depended on

    Tested against your real scenarios, documented, warranted.

  • Still here afterwards
