AI does the boring work. A person checks it. You approve.
That is every service on this page, in one line. Everything starts with a free 20-minute call and a written report you keep either way. Each service is either we teach you to do it, or we do it for you and you approve. Month to month on every plan, one-month minimum, no lock-in. Prices exclude GST; anything marked “quoted” is agreed on the free call before any work starts.
The one rule behind all of it
1. AI does the work
It reads, checks, drafts and prepares, fast, without being told each time.
2. A person checks it
Nothing AI produces reaches you or your customers unreviewed.
3. You approve
Money, stock, customers, anything live: your written yes, every time.
What we can do for you
Free diagnostic
A 20-minute call and a written report: what is stopping people finding you, and a realistic plan.

Growth operator
We get you found on Google and in AI answers. Every two weeks you get a report and one real change on your site. Each item asks: would you like us to do this? It is included.
NZ$790 a month
Shopify operator
We run the routine store work every week: products, feeds, stock, orders, Xero tidy-ups. You approve anything that touches money, stock or what customers see.
NZ$790 a month
Custom automation
One manual process (intake, document chasing, reporting, inbox triage) automated end to end and handed over with plain-English instructions.
From NZ$3,500 (one workflow) · team system from NZ$9,500 · fixed quote after scoping
Run / Run and Improve
We keep what we built working. Run: monitoring and fixes. Run and Improve: plus something new every month.
NZ$790 / NZ$1,590 a month
AI Clone
A video avatar and voice that sound like you, so videos get made without you filming. Every video is labelled as AI.
NZ$2,000 once (teach you) · NZ$5,000 setup + NZ$1,990 a month (done for you)
AI front desk + back office
An AI in your voice answers calls, texts and emails and books the work. Back-office agents price variations, chase paperwork and check invoices. A person approves every action.

The rules we never break
- AI never has unsupervised control of anything live. It prepares; a person checks; you approve.
- We never ask for, and do not accept, passwords, payment-processor keys or bank logins. Access is scoped to the job and you can revoke it any time.
- Anything made by AI is labelled as AI, including videos and the front-desk voice.
- No professional advice. We build the tools; your accountant, lawyer or adviser makes the professional calls.
- No fake promises. Nobody can guarantee Google, ChatGPT, Claude or Google AI Overviews will name you, and we will not say otherwise. We report only numbers you can point to.
Can’t afford it yet? Talk to us anyway.
We were overwhelmed when we saw how fast AI was moving, so we locked ourselves in a room every night for three months after work to figure it out. We are happy to make free recommendations. Team work makes the dream work.
Contact us or email hello@backroomops.co.nz and tell us where you’re stuck. No pitch, no obligation.
