What Our Clients Say

Haydn Brush
"TheColab.ai brings real AI implementation expertise to NZ businesses. No fluff, just practical solutions and a community that actually builds together. Exactly what we need in the local market."
Mike
Operations Manager
Brittain Wynyard
"TheColab turned one of our most painful manual processes into automated, reliable pipelines. Remittance handling and invoice matching are largely automated with errors getting flagged instantly. This has reduced the amount of low-value admin work that needs to be done."
William
CFO
Synergic Technologies
"The project delivery was strong. The bigger impact was what they unlocked for our team. TheColab didn't just build a time critical integration — they showed us how AI changes delivery speed, cost, and quality. Their workshops fast-tracked our thinking on how to apply AI across engineering, support, and operations."
Janke
Owner
