AI Consulting Christchurch
We scope, build, and verify AI-augmented systems for Canterbury businesses.
What you get
An AI consulting engagement with AcesForge covers four things, whether you need all four or just the first.
AI systems consulting
A discovery call and a written architecture review: what your system should be, where AI genuinely helps, and where a human must verify. No build commitment required to get the review.
Custom AI automation
Automation built into the workflows you already run, not a bolt-on chat widget. Scoped against your actual data and systems, with the reliability boundary stated explicitly.
Build and delivery
Once the scope is agreed, we build it. Modern stacks: TypeScript, Python, React/Next.js, Cloud Run, Firestore. See the full build-and-delivery service.
Learn more →Hosting and maintenance
Production hosting, monitoring, and a monthly retainer so the system stays current after handover, not abandoned the day it ships.
Learn more →How we engage
Fixed scope, written proposal, no hidden costs. Every phase is priced and agreed before it starts.
Discovery call
A free conversation about the problem you are trying to solve and whether AI automation is actually the right fit for it.
Fixed-scope written proposal
A written architecture review and a priced first build phase. Fixed scope, written proposal, no hidden costs.
Build
The system gets built against the agreed scope, with async updates and check-ins along the way.
Deploy and handover
You receive the deployed system, documentation, and full ownership. A hosting retainer is offered, never required.
Why trust the methodology
A decade of AI, not a ChatGPT wrapper. Computer-vision and facial-recognition systems built as a teenager, years before large language models existed.
We use what we sell. AliceHQ, a receipted voice-AI platform, runs on the same toolchain we deploy for Christchurch clients, not a demo stack.
Award-winning engineering discipline. Steven Bly Award, 2025. 4.5+ years and counting at Tait Communications on reliability-critical radio systems.
Proof, not promises. See AffordableDeliverys, a Christchurch courier company whose AI-powered quote and delivery-request system AcesForge designed, built, and shipped to production.
