How we help

Three ways we help. One team.

Airclerk helps financial and professional services firms in New Zealand and Australia put AI to work. We deploy it into a workflow and embed it in how the work is done, we keep it working once it is live, and where a decision has to come first, we advise on it. Claude, Microsoft Copilot or ChatGPT, whichever fits your environment.

01 / Deploy and embed AI

One workflow, into production, with your people running it.

This is where almost every engagement starts. You bring a piece of work: the renewal note, the year-end workpaper file, the accounts inbox, the matter chronology. We design the workflow against how that work is really done, connect it to your documents and systems, and build it into production with the review controls and audit trail it needs. It ends with the owner running it, not with a demo.

What one first-workflow engagement normally includes
  • The detailed design, agreed with you before the build starts
  • The workflow itself, working on your real documents and systems
  • The connectors it needs, scoped to what it needs and no wider
  • The governance and controls model for that workflow: what it may read, what it may draft, where a person signs
  • The run record the controls model calls for: what the AI did, what it drew on and who signed it off
  • The people who own the workflow trained on it, and documentation written for your firm
The core service

Workflow implementation

Design, build, test, acceptance and handover for one workflow at a time. Your workflow owner gives time in design and testing; you arrange access and sign off the controls. Fixed fee and timeline quoted in writing after a free introductory conversation.

Inside every build · also standalone

AI governance

The controls model a workflow runs under: what the AI can access and recommend, where approval is required, what is logged, how outputs are reviewed and what it costs to run. Written down, not assumed.

Inside every build

Connectors and integrations

A workflow is only useful if the AI can reach the documents and systems the work lives in. Claude and Copilot both reach Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Outlook and Teams through connectors the platforms provide. For everything else we build MCP servers and connectors: CRMs and broker portals, policy and claims systems, Xero, document repositories, and browser automation where an API does not exist. Permission-aware and logged, scoped to the workflow.

AI Process Assurance

Define the path the work should follow, record the path it took, show the difference. Our software, sold on subscription and implemented alongside the workflows we build. The AI Workpaper is what you keep, and what a reviewer reads. It covers the workflows and tools connected to it.

02 / Operate and improve it

Someone has to watch it once it's live. That can be us.

A separate agreement, scoped to the workflows you have in production. It is never switched on by default, and the build does not depend on it.

A workflow that nobody looks after drifts. Documents change shape, a supplier renames itself, a connector's permissions get tightened by someone in IT, the model version moves. Ongoing operations is the arrangement under which the people who built your workflow keep it working and make it better.

Includes

What the relationship covers

Watching the workflows in production, fixing what breaks, refining prompts and tools as the work shows where they fall short, keeping connectors current, updating the evaluation sets, and reporting usage and cost back to you.

Watches

What is monitored

Output quality against the evaluation set agreed at handover. Exceptions raised by the controls, and whether they are being cleared. What each workflow costs to run. Connector health and permissions. Whether the people who own the workflow are still using it.

Priority

How work is prioritised

Anything that stops the workflow or produces a wrong output comes first. Cost and exceptions next. Improvements are agreed with the workflow owner on a regular review, at a cadence set in the agreement, rather than arriving unannounced.

Boundary

Maintenance versus new implementation

Fixing, tuning and extending an existing workflow within its agreed scope is maintenance. A new workflow, a new system connection, or a change to the controls model is additional implementation, and is scoped and quoted on its own.

03 / Get strategic advice

When the decision comes before the workflow.

Optional. Most firms do not need it before an implementation. If you already know the workflow, start with that.

Some questions are bigger than a workflow. What does AI do to our margins and staffing? Do we build, buy, partner or wait? Claude, Copilot, our existing platform, or a vertical vendor? Those are board and owner decisions, and they get a different service: founder-led advisory, fixed-price and scoped to the decision, delivered as a briefing, a two-week decision sprint, a retained arrangement or a diligence memo.

We work out where to start in the free conversation, then agree the detailed design with you before building. Advisory is for the decision above that.

04 / How they fit together

Advise if needed. Deploy. Operate by agreement.

Workflow patterns we scope most often

Most insurance and financial-services work clusters around document-heavy review and preparation. These are the shapes we know best; the industry pages show one illustrative example each.

05 / How we start

One conversation, then a written scope.

The same four stages for every implementation. Fixed fee in NZD plus GST, quoted after the first conversation; platform licences and usage are yours, paid to the provider.

01 · Discuss
Discuss the opportunityFree · introductory

Where AI could make the biggest difference, how that work runs today, the systems it touches and who owns it. We also work out together whether Airclerk is the right partner for it. If we are, the conversation gives us enough to quote.

02 · Agree
Agree the scopeWritten proposal · fixed fee

One document: the outcome we are aiming for, what we deliver, what your team contributes, the fixed fee and timeline, and what acceptance looks like. Nothing starts until it is agreed on both sides.

03 · Build
Design and buildDetailed design first

The engagement opens with the detailed design, agreed with you before anything is built. Then we configure and connect the workflow to your documents and systems, build in the agreed review controls and audit trail, test it on real work, and prepare the people who will run it.

04 · Support
Support and improveHandover · ongoing by agreement

Handover, and the support that follows go-live, are written into the scope so you know what is covered before you sign. Ongoing operations and further workflows are a separate agreement, made when you want them rather than switched on by default.

06 / Common questions

Common questions.

01Where do firms usually start with Airclerk?

With one workflow. A free introductory conversation covers the work, the systems it touches and who owns it, which is enough for a written scope with a fixed fee. The engagement opens with the detailed design, then builds that workflow into production. Ongoing operations and further workflows follow only if you want them.

02What is included in a first-workflow engagement?

The detailed design, the build, the connections to the documents and systems the workflow needs, the governance and controls model for that workflow, the run record that model calls for, training for the people who own it, and handover. Claude Code enablement, customer-facing apps and strategic advisory are separate engagements.

03What does ongoing operation cover, and is it included?

It is a separate agreement, not part of the build. It covers watching the workflows already in production: output quality against evaluation sets, exceptions raised by the controls, run cost, connector health, and the prompt and tool refinements that follow. A new workflow or a new system connection is additional implementation and is quoted on its own.

04Which AI platforms do you implement?

We implement Claude, Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT. We recommend one in the first conversation based on what you already license, where your documents live and what the workflow needs. Licences are your own, under your agreement with the provider, and sit outside our fee.

05Do we need strategic advice before an implementation?

No. AI Platform Advisory is for boards, owners and executive teams with a platform or operating-model decision to make first. If you already know the workflow, start there.

06Do we need to subscribe to the Airclerk platform?

No. Most of our work is implementing AI directly into our clients’ existing platforms and systems, and those engagements stand on their own. AI Process Assurance is an optional subscription for firms that want a retained, exportable record of what the AI did, compared against the process it was meant to follow. Every Assurance deployment includes an implementation project, because the platform is not self-service.
