What kind of work can an AI agent take over?

The repetitive, time-consuming jobs: answering routine customer enquiries, reading order emails and PDFs into your systems, tracking stock levels and flagging reorders, and turning weekly data into reports. The kind of work that eats hours without growing the business.

Who is behind Wonderbean?

Wonderbean is led by Alan Kan, who has twenty-five years in enterprise technology, from IBM to advising New Zealand businesses on AI today. His work spans AI for utilities, telecommunications, education, and technical assessment of AI projects ahead of funding decisions.

What if there is nothing worth automating?

Then Wonderbean tells you so, and you keep the full report. The Scan is designed to give an honest answer, including a no. Wonderbean will not build an agent that won't still be earning its place in a year.

Everyone's talking about AI.
We'd rather hand you your hours back.

Q: What does Wonderbean actually do?

Wonderbean finds the single workflow that quietly drains the most time in your business, then gets an AI agent built to take it over. It starts with a fixed-price Workflow Scan, followed by a build that is funded for qualifying businesses, and optional ongoing advisory.

Q: How much does it cost?

The Workflow Scan is a fixed $5,000 + GST and is credited back in full if you go on to build. For qualifying businesses, funding covers most of the build cost, bringing the first agent to around $2,500 out of pocket. Ongoing advisory is $2,000 per month and is optional.

Wonderbean finds the one workflow in your business that quietly eats the most time, then gets an AI agent built to take it over. Working within weeks. Funding is available for qualifying builds and covers most of the cost.

How it works

The Workflow Scan two weeks · $5,000 + GST

We map where your hours actually go and find the one workflow worth automating, with honest numbers behind it. If nothing stacks up, we tell you, and you keep the full report.

The build funded for qualifying businesses

Your agent gets built and put to work on a real job, with your Scan fee credited in full. We check funding eligibility during the Scan.

Your team runs it $2,000/mo if you'd like us to stay

Handover is part of every build, so the agent belongs to your people, not to us. Some clients keep us on for what to build next, building their team's confidence with AI, and a straight answer when vendors come knocking.

Priced so you can see the whole thing

New Zealand businesses already using AI report getting back around a working day every week. Custom builds that deliver it are commonly quoted at $30,000 and well beyond. Funding changes that picture entirely, and the Scan credit means businesses that build effectively get the diagnosis free.

You only pay for the Scan when you choose to stop. We earn nothing by talking you into a build, and that's deliberate.

How we work

Start with the work, not the tools

No technology decisions until we understand how work actually flows through your business. The right build becomes obvious from there.

Give people their time back

The goal isn't a smaller team doing the same grind faster. It's your team, freed for the work that grows the business and serves your customers well.

Only build what's worth keeping

If an agent won't still be earning its place in a year, we won't build it. That discipline protects your money, your people's trust, and our name.

Who's behind this

Wonderbean is led by Alan Kan, twenty-five years in enterprise technology, from IBM to advising New Zealand businesses on AI today. He's led AI that inspects underground pipes by drone for a water utility, handles promotion enquiries for a national telco, and guides hundreds of learners through job-search prep. He's also run technical assessments of a screen production company's AI projects ahead of funding decisions. Wonderbean brings that experience to businesses your size, on the belief that technology only matters if it works for the people who have to use it.

"Every hour an agent takes off your team's plate should come back as better work, better service, or an earlier night home."

Do we have to move our data to the cloud?

Not necessarily. Most builds run in the cloud, which is what the funding supports. Where your data can't leave your premises, there's a private path we can talk through on the call. We'll be straight about which one fits.

Thirty minutes. A straight answer.

Bring the job that eats your week. We'll tell you whether an agent can take it over, and what it would honestly take.
