Phone-based AI agents in Australia: what's actually working
Most Australian operators have now spoken to a voice agent. The question isn't whether the tech works — it's where it pays.
You know there's value in AI.
You don't know where to start.
We build custom AI and AI agents for Australian businesses, automating the tedious work nobody wants to do.
An agent we built lets everyone in the team see where shipments are
Built for a large Australian logistics operator managing 500 shipments a day, now anyone in their team can ask an Agent in plain language to find the status of shipments (pulled directly from the warehouse management system).

Claude Cowork: the interesting part isn't the demo
Anthropic's agent for non-developers is here. The demos are fine — they're not the point. Here's where it pays inside an operating business, and where it still goes wrong.

AI and the PE roll-up: where the real value creation has moved
