AI consulting · New Zealand
I help New Zealand teams find where AI actually saves money, build agent systems you own outright, and train your people to run them. No hype. No subscription lock-in.

Illustrative. Your shortlist comes from your own operations.
What I do
Start with an audit or come in with a problem already in mind. Every engagement is built to leave your business more capable, not more dependent.
01
A clear-eyed look at your operations to find the two or three places AI will pay for itself fastest. You get a ranked shortlist with effort, cost, and expected return — not a 40-page report you'll never read.
You leave with a ranked shortlist
02
Agent systems built for your workflow and running on infrastructure you own. No per-seat fees that climb every year — the software is yours to keep, change, and run on your own terms.
You leave with software your business owns
03
Take the repetitive work — data entry, reporting, triage, follow-ups — and automate it end to end. Your team stops doing the busywork and gets the hours back for real work.
You leave with hours back for real work
04
Hands-on sessions that make your staff genuinely capable with AI tools, not just curious. Taught by someone who has trained business owners and teams for years, pitched at your team's real work.
You leave with a team that can run it
About
I'm Felipe Gutierrez, a software engineer and technology leader based in New Zealand. Over more than ten years I've worked as an engineer, a CTO, and a product owner — shipping production software and leading the teams that build it. I hold a BEng (Hons) in Computer Science and I'm a New Zealand permanent resident.
Since 2025 I've worked full time on AI-agent systems: multi-agent orchestration, reproducible development environments, and production TypeScript platforms. I also teach business owners to build their own software with AI agents — so I care as much about your team understanding the system as I do about shipping it.
I work in English and Spanish, and I'm straight with you about what AI can and can't do for your business.

How it works
No long procurement cycles. We start with a conversation and only go further if there's a real return in it for you.
A short, free conversation about your business and where the friction is. If AI isn't the right tool for the job, I'll tell you.
I map the highest-return opportunities and give you a concrete plan: what to build, what it costs, and what it returns.
I implement the system, train your team to run it, and hand it over. You own the result and can run it without me.
Questions
Short answers to what most people ask first. Anything else, just email.
Training is part of the handover: I train your people to run what I build, and I'm straight with you about what that takes for your team.
You do. The systems run on infrastructure you own, with no per-seat fees, and you can keep, change and run them without me.
It depends on what's worth building. The first conversation is free, and before anything is built you get a plan that sets out what to build, what it costs and what it returns.
New Zealand small and medium businesses and teams. If AI isn't the right tool for your problem, I'll say so in the first conversation.
Yes. I work in English and Spanish.
