Do less admin.

How we work

Plain English. Practical systems.

STEP 01

Find the friction

We look at how work actually flows through your business — where enquiries stall, where admin eats your week, where money leaks.

STEP 02

Build the fix

AI-assisted development means we build custom websites, automations and tools in days or weeks — not months — at a fraction of traditional agency cost.

STEP 03

Hand over & support

You get a working system, trained on your business, with optional monthly care so it keeps performing while you focus on customers.

Who you're working with

Built by someone who's run businesses — not just websites

BuildAI is run by Nikolai Janetzke: 20+ years in IT, founder of an IT company he grew to 17 staff, and current owner-operator of Virtual Reality Hire. He's sat on your side of the desk — hiring, quoting, chasing invoices, drowning in admin — which is why every system BuildAI ships is judged on one thing: does it save you time or make you money?

The new frontier of search

Is your business visible to AI search?

Customers now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI for recommendations. If your website isn't structured for AI search (GEO), you're invisible to them. Unlike most agencies, we build GEO into every site as standard — structured data, authoritative content and AI-crawler permissions from day one.

Common questions

How much does a website cost?
Lead-capture websites from $1,990+GST. Website + automation (booking, AI assistant, follow-up) from $4,490+GST. Custom AI systems and apps from $7,990+GST. Every project is quoted before work begins — no surprises.
What is Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO)?
GEO structures your website so AI search engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews — cite and recommend your business in their answers. We build it into every site as standard.
How quickly can you build a website?
Most business websites are live within 1–2 weeks; simple sites in days. AI-assisted development cuts build time dramatically without compromising quality, SEO or design.
Where are you located?
Tokoroa, Waikato — working with businesses across New Zealand including Auckland, Hamilton, Rotorua, Taupō and the Bay of Plenty. Most work is delivered remotely; on-site visits are available where needed.
What's the free AI Opportunity Audit?
A free 30–45 minute review of your workflows. You get a short, practical report showing where you're losing time to admin and leads to slow follow-up — and what to automate first. Yours to keep either way.
What happens after my site or system is live?
Optional monthly care plans from $149+GST cover hosting, updates, monitoring and small improvements — so everything keeps working while you run your business.
