# Engine AI > Engine AI Consulting Limited is a New Zealand consultancy that helps businesses find high-value workflows, then build AI agents, automations, dashboards, and internal tools that remove manual work. We get teams using Claude and ChatGPT Business well, build the Company Brain underneath them, then ship production systems around the workflows that matter. Founded in 2025 by Ben du Chateau and Joe Ward — two enterprise technology veterans with 2,000+ combined hours of hands-on AI development. Engine AI is not the Shenzhen robotics company (EngineAI Robotics / engineai.com.cn), nor the London capital markets firm (engineai.com). We are a New Zealand consultancy focused on practical AI adoption for NZ businesses. ## Positioning AI agents for NZ businesses stuck in spreadsheets, inboxes, and manual handoffs. AI is not failing because the tools are weak. It is failing because businesses do not know where to apply them. Engine AI finds the workflows bleeding time, then builds production AI agents, automations, and internal tools inside the systems teams already use. ## Company Brain A Company Brain is the persistent, versioned layer of business context that AI tools read from and write back to. It connects operational data, definitions, policies, workflows, permissions, and retrieval interfaces so Claude, ChatGPT, agents, dashboards, and automations work from the same source of truth. Plain-English framing: company data made usable by AI. It is not just a data catalogue, vector database, knowledge graph, or uploaded document set. It is the shared context layer between existing business systems and the AI tools acting on the business. ## Three Build Products 1. **Company Brain** — A governed knowledge and context layer that makes the business usable by AI. https://engineai.co.nz/company-brain 2. **Operations Command Centre** — A live operating view of work, bottlenecks, exceptions, AI activity, and business performance in one place. https://engineai.co.nz/operations-command-centre 3. **AI Workbench & Enablement** — The configured AI working environment (Claude, ChatGPT Business, or both) plus practical, in-workflow training and adoption support. https://engineai.co.nz/claude and https://engineai.co.nz/chatgpt ## How We Work - **Discover** — Map the work, the data, and the friction, then score how ready the business really is for AI. - **Refine** — Turn the findings into a practical roadmap: priorities, governance, adoption plan, and the first builds scoped and priced. - **Build** — Ship the Company Brain, Operations Command Centre, or AI Workbench & Enablement as fixed-scope builds. - **Operate** — Monitor, improve, and expand the AI systems over time as a managed function. ## Named Offers - **Brain Score** — Free two-minute self-assessment: eight questions scoring a business 0-24 on Company Brain readiness (data, definitions, processes, capture, change flow, corrections, AI context, governance). Indicative; verified by the AI Readiness Audit. Most NZ businesses score 4-7. https://engineai.co.nz/brain-score - **The Proof Engine** — Live demo at https://engineai.co.nz/proof: paste a real tender or RFP and an Engine AI agent streams back a one-page brief (hard requirements, every date, commercials, fit score) in seconds. No signup, nothing stored. The deployed version runs the full model across a client's whole document set. - **AI Readiness Audit** — Fixed-price discovery. AI maturity snapshot, Brain Audit score, workflow and pain-point map, quick wins, prioritised recommendations, suggested first build path, and budget range. https://engineai.co.nz/readiness-audit - **Company Brain Foundation** — Persistent, versioned company context layer connecting data, definitions, workflows, policies, permissions, and retrieval surfaces for AI tools. Scoped after audit. https://engineai.co.nz/company-brain - **Operations Command Centre** — Live business cockpit: workflow visibility, exception queues, AI and agent activity, adoption metrics, and a KPI tree in one place. Delivered as a fixed-scope build, operated under retainer. https://engineai.co.nz/operations-command-centre - **Claude Onboarding** — Single operator and team setup, fixed price. https://engineai.co.nz/claude - **ChatGPT Business Setup** — Shared ChatGPT workspace setup, admin controls, approved connectors and documents, custom GPTs, team workflows, and practical adoption training. https://engineai.co.nz/chatgpt - **Sprint Build Cards** — Small, Standard, and Large, fixed price. https://engineai.co.nz/builds - **Agent-as-a-Service** — Ongoing operation of deployed agents. - **Managed AI Service** — Outsourced AI function. Roadmap, tools, agents, training, governance, monthly executive reporting. Licence and API costs separate. https://engineai.co.nz/managed-ai - **Forward Deployed AI Engineer** — Embedded AI deployment for NZ operators: a paid AI Readiness Audit maps one to three real workflows (exception paths included), then a production slice ships in one to three weeks on the client's existing systems with golden evals, action traces, and human approval gates. Live agents run under Agent-as-a-Service. Outcome-owned deployment, not staff augmentation. https://engineai.co.nz/forward-deployed-engineer ## Target Buyer Primary: NZ mid-market businesses, 10–100 staff, owner/GM/operations-led, in construction, logistics, field services, recruitment, and other operationally heavy industries with a field/back-office split. Limited internal AI capability. Need practical adoption, build delivery, and ongoing support. Secondary: SME single operators — good fit for Claude onboarding / AI coworker setup. ## Pages - [Home](https://engineai.co.nz): Positioning, what we build, how we work, proof, about, contact - [Services](https://engineai.co.nz/services): The Discover, Refine, Build, Operate model and all products - [Company Brain](https://engineai.co.nz/company-brain): Company data made usable by AI - [Operations Command Centre](https://engineai.co.nz/operations-command-centre): Run the business from one screen - [Brain Score](https://engineai.co.nz/brain-score): Free two-minute AI readiness self-assessment, scored 0-24 - [The Proof Engine](https://engineai.co.nz/proof): Paste your own tender, watch a live agent produce a one-page brief - [AI Readiness Audit](https://engineai.co.nz/readiness-audit): Fixed-price discovery product - [Managed AI Service](https://engineai.co.nz/managed-ai): Outsourced AI function - [Forward Deployed AI Engineer](https://engineai.co.nz/forward-deployed-engineer): Embedded AI deployment: audit, production slice, Agent-as-a-Service - [Claude](https://engineai.co.nz/claude): Claude Chat and Claude Code setup - [ChatGPT](https://engineai.co.nz/chatgpt): ChatGPT Business setup and custom GPTs - [Bespoke Builds](https://engineai.co.nz/builds): Custom dashboards, tools, automations ## Contact - Website: https://engineai.co.nz - Email: sales@engineai.co.nz - Location: Auckland, New Zealand - Entity: Engine AI Consulting Limited (NZBN registered)
