Business first. Technology second.

BuildAI is run by Nikolai Janetzke, based in Tokoroa, Waikato. Nik has spent more than 20 years in IT and business — including founding and running his own IT company, which he grew to 17 staff, and owning and operating Virtual Reality Hire, which still runs today on the same booking and AI automation systems BuildAI sells.

That operator background is the difference. Nik has hired staff, chased invoices, quoted jobs, managed cash flow and lost weekends to admin. So when BuildAI looks at your business, it isn't asking "what tech can we sell you?" — it's asking the question every owner asks: where is the time and money leaking, and what's the cheapest reliable way to stop it?

How we deliver at a fraction of agency cost

BuildAI uses AI-assisted development at every stage — design, build, content, testing. What used to take a traditional agency months and tens of thousands of dollars now takes days or weeks. We pass that saving on, which is why a custom-designed, SEO and GEO-optimised website starts at $1,990+GST rather than $10,000.

Working with us

We're deliberately small and direct: you deal with the person doing the work. Most projects run remotely — clients across Waikato, Auckland, the Bay of Plenty and Australia — with on-site visits where they're useful.

The easiest way to start is the free AI Opportunity Audit: 30–45 minutes on your workflows, and a short report you keep either way.
