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 AI is the right fit and the scope is agreed, we build it. For broader software, integrations, or internal tools where AI may be only one component, see Software & Systems Architecture.
Learn about Build and delivery →Hosting and maintenance
Production hosting, monitoring, and a monthly retainer so the system stays current after handover, not abandoned the day it ships.
Learn about Hosting and maintenance →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, is founder-built and operated on the same engineering toolchain used for AcesForge work—not a throwaway 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 AliceHQ.AI, a founder-built voice-AI platform AcesForge’s founder designed, built, and operates end to end. We also design and build deterministic software where AI is not the right tool, see AffordableDeliverys.

What you get
A written architecture map of your system: what AI automation should cover, where a human must verify, and a phased build plan with indicative costs for each phase. We price the outcome, not hours of AI-assisted typing.
Outcome
The review ends with a named, priced first build phase. Not ready to commit to a phase yet? Start with the free 5-question estimate instead.
