About KoruAI

Meet founder Temuera — built for NZ tradies from inside a trades business

KoruAI is founder-led by an NZ trade operator who has spent years on the receiving end of compliance paperwork, scheduling chaos, and undifferentiated SaaS pitch decks. Every line of KoruAI exists because Temuera saw a real workflow that needed fixing on a real NZ trade crew — not because a feature spec said so.

Founder, KoruAI — built for NZ tradies from inside a trades business.

KoruAI is founder-led by Temuera, an NZ trade operator who has spent years on the receiving end of compliance paperwork, scheduling chaos, and undifferentiated SaaS pitch decks. Every line of KoruAI exists because Temuera saw a real workflow that needed fixing on a real NZ trade crew — not because a feature spec said so.

NZ trades background
Years on the tools and in the office of plumbing and electrical crews in Aotearoa — quoting, scheduling, dispatching, sorting compliance paperwork, and chasing the Monday admin pile. The job of running a small trade crew is wider than the wrench, and KoruAI is shaped by that reality.

Why he built KoruAI
Off-the-shelf workflow software is built for US multi-trade enterprises and consistently misses the things NZ crews actually have to do: PGDB certificates, EWRB registers, E2/AS1 building-code triggers, and follow-ups that satisfy the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2003. KoruAI ships with those NZ-specific obligations wired in from day one.

What founder-led means here
A real human reads every inbound message. Decisions on the product roadmap, the AI tuning, and the pricing bands are made by the same person whose name is on the door — not by a feature spec, a venture board, or a remote SDR queue.

Our mission

One autonomous loop, priced for a 5–25 person NZ crew.

KoruAI's mission is simple: give every 5–25 person NZ plumbing and electrical crew the same autonomous workflow the big multi-trade enterprises already have — but priced for a small business and shaped around NZ compliance obligations from the first line of code. A technician posts a field note on the job; KoruAI drafts a structured job summary, builds a quote from an uploaded client template, sequences the follow-up reminders on an NZ Spam Act 2003 cadence, and stamps the result against the same job record on the owner dashboard. The owner steps in only when a touchpoint genuinely needs a human — the rest of the loop runs itself, and the tradies stay on the tools.
