Is AI-driven software development the future of business or justa shortcut to mediocrity?
Generative AI has huge transformative potential for the productivity of both organisations and economies around…
Every week, your LinkedIn feed is flooded with AI demos, viral predictions, and hot takes. But behind the noise, real transformation is already happening – quietly, effectively, and right here in New Zealand.
While the rest of the world debates what’s possible, some Kiwi companies are already doing it. And if you’re only watching the hype, you’re missing the wins that actually move the needle using Intelligence.
You won’t read about these wins in glossy tech magazines, but they’re transforming how New Zealand companies operate today. And if you’re not paying attention, you could miss your moment to do the same.
Another reason?
The companies getting these wins aren’t shouting about them.
In competitive markets, operational gains are often treated as a strategic secret. If automating a workflow gives you a six-month lead on a rival, the last thing you want is to publish a play-by-play of how you did it.
That’s why events like the Aotearoa AI Summit matter. They pull these stories out of the shadows, showing what’s possible now – and what’s at stake if you keep waiting.
Right now, the AI landscape feels fragmented and overwhelming. Every week brings a dozen new tools, each promising to change the game. According to MYOB’s 2025 report, 30% of SMEs haven’t adopted AI because they feel they lack sufficient understanding of how it works or how to use it effectively.
The answer isn’t chasing every new app – it’s focusing on outcomes. Ask:
1. Where are we losing time to low-value work?
2. Which decisions are slowed by information silos?
3. What could my smartest people achieve if they had 20–50% more capacity?
The question isn’t whether AI will reshape your industry – it’s whether you’ll be shaping that future, or adopting it.
From Six Weeks to Six Minutes
Mast Academy – New Zealand’s leading marine, composites, and advanced textiles training provider – used to spend up to six weeks building a single NZQA-compliant course. Multiply that by 80+ resources, and the old process was a bottleneck they couldn’t afford.
Mast Intelligence
Partnering with SupaHuman, Mast Academy built a custom AI Workspace that now delivers NZQA-compliant study guides and assessments in minutes.
The impact?
80% faster course & assessment creation
Automating updates with NZQA compliant changes
24/7 AI-powered student coaching for over 1,000 learners
Tutors freed from admin to focus on teaching
Mast Intelligence draws only from the academy’s approved content, ensuring accuracy and relevance for every learner. Mast’s educators can focus on what they do best: teaching, mentoring, and innovating. Students arrive in class more confident and prepared
Every organisation has a “time sink” – that one process that eats hours and kills progress
Imagine:
– Hunting down qualified leads across multiple platforms
– Writing technical reports that take days to compile and format
– Client proposals that drag on for days
We have every use case for that – and probably a few that you haven’t thought of yet.
At the Aotearoa AI Summit, SupaHuman AI will pull back the curtain on how we’ve turned slow, painful workflows into streamlined, high-impact work. From Mast Intelligence in vocational training to AI that hunts leads, builds reports, and writes proposals in minutes.
We’ll show you exactly the AI use cases that scale across industries without losing the trust, compliance, and human connection that make it work.
Don’t Just Watch the Future – Build It
The next AI success story could be yours.
