Harkness AI is an AI consultancy based in Christchurch, working with businesses across New Zealand. We help small and mid-sized organisations move from "we should be using AI" to AI that saves real hours every week.
What we do:
- Claude and ChatGPT setup for teams: configured workspaces, custom skills and connections to your business systems
- Custom automations and AI agents: document processing, quoting, reporting and inbox triage, integrated with Xero, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and industry software
- Custom connectors (MCP servers) that let AI safely read your business data
- AI workshops and training: hands-on sessions for leadership and staff
- Ongoing support: a monthly partnership for businesses that want a go-to AI engineer
Founder Blake Harkness is a mechatronics engineer and fractional AI engineer. He has spoken at 35+ events, publishes practical AI tutorials on YouTube, and founded Young Kiwis in AI, a 300+ member community. We've worked with 50+ NZ businesses, with named case studies at harknessai.nz.
We keep projects lean and fixed-price, explain everything in plain English, and build systems your team owns.
