What we build

Seven building blocks. One system that fits how you actually work.

We don't sell software. We assemble the right pieces into a system around your business — then keep it running.

AI receptionist & lead capture

Answers missed calls, replies to web and SMS enquiries instantly, qualifies the lead and books it — 24/7, even when you're on the tools.

Workflow automation

Connects the tools you already use so data moves itself — no more typing the same job into three places. Your CRM, calendar, email and invoicing finally talk.

Customer follow-up

Automated quote follow-ups, review requests and no-show recovery. The system never forgets to chase — which is where most jobs are quietly lost.

Internal knowledge AI

A private assistant trained on your own pricing, SOPs and FAQs — so staff (or customers) get the right answer instantly, in your words.

Reporting dashboards

A simple weekly view of leads, jobs and what the automations did for you — no chasing data, no spreadsheets, just the numbers that matter.

Website & web presence

A site that isn't a brochure — with booking, instant chat and follow-up wired in, so every visitor becomes a captured lead.

Private & custom work

Got a specific job in mind? Let's talk it through.

Most businesses start with one of the building blocks above — but a lot of what we do is bespoke. If you've got a particular task, tool or idea, the best first step is a quick, no-obligation chat: you describe it, and we'll give you a straight answer on whether automation is a good fit and roughly what it would take.

We won't pretend everything is worth automating — sometimes it isn't, and we'll tell you that too. But a surprising amount of repetitive, manual work can be, and a short scoping conversation is the quickest way to find out.

Start a conversation How scoping works →

“Could this connect the apps we already use?”

“Can it fit the way our team actually works?”

“Could an assistant answer from our own information?”

“Can you build us a private internal tool?”

Not sure if your idea fits? That's exactly the kind of thing worth asking — we'll give you an honest answer.

How it works

From "drowning in admin" to live in four steps.

No big rebuild, no disruption. We map what you do now, automate the highest-leverage piece first, and prove it before you pay for the rest.

1

Free audit

A 30-minute call where you describe the task that eats your time. We find the one automation that pays for itself fastest — and show you a working demo with your name on it.

2

Map & scope

We document how your business actually runs, then write a fixed-price scope: what's included, the timeline, and exactly what we need from you. No surprises.

3

Build & test

We build in a safe sandbox and test every path — including what happens when something goes wrong — before it ever touches a real customer.

4

Go live & grow

We launch, watch it closely for 30 days, and fix fast. Then we add the next automation — your system gets smarter every month.

Packages

Start small. Prove it. Then let it compound.

Three ways to work together. Most businesses start with Foundations to see a fast win, then grow into the Operating System and an ongoing partnership.

AI Foundations

One automation, one acute problem, solved fast.

A Wellington workspace where the systems get built

LocalWellington-based & hands-on

Who you're working with

Built and run by locals who actually pick up the phone.

I'm Yusuke. I build the systems that handle the repetitive parts of running a small business, so you can get back to the work you're good at.

Capital Automation grew out of Capital Websites — I kept watching great local businesses lose work not because they weren't good, but because a call got missed or a quote never got chased. AI finally makes it affordable to fix that for a small business, not just the big players.

No offshore team, no jargon, no lock-in — just two locals. John looks after sales and is usually who you'll speak to first; I build and run the system you own. The same two people from your first call right through to go-live.

Good questions

The things people ask before they book.

Still wondering something? Ask Ada in the chat, bottom-right — or just book the free audit and we'll talk it through.

Not at all. You'll never touch the technical side. You see a simple result — a job booked, a lead captured, a follow-up sent — and a one-page reference if you ever want it. We handle everything underneath.

A first automation (AI Foundations) is a $1,500–3,500 one-off. The core package (AI Operating System) is $5,000–12,000 plus a monthly fee for hosting and tuning. Ongoing partnerships run $1,500–4,000/mo. The free audit tells us exactly where you'd land — no obligation.

No — it removes the boring, repetitive admin so your people do the work that needs a human. Anything outside the system's scope always hands off cleanly to a real person.

Usually, yes. We connect to the tools you've got — job software, calendar, email, invoicing — rather than forcing you to switch. We confirm exactly what's possible in the audit.

Everything is monitored, and there's always a graceful fallback to a human path. On care plans and retainers we watch it for you and fix issues fast — often before you'd even notice.

We're explicit about what data each automation touches and where it's stored, and we build to NZ Privacy Act expectations. You own the system and the data in it.

Tell us the task that eats your time. We'll show you — with a working demo using your business name — exactly what we'd automate first and what it'd be worth. No pitch deck, no obligation.

✓ A real example built for your business, not a generic slide
✓ An honest, conservative estimate of what it's worth
✓ A clear next step — or a friendly "not yet," no pressure
