Claude Setup
Give your business a Claude operating system
We wire one AI into the tools your New Zealand business already runs on, train it on how you work, and leave it running the busywork around the clock. Not a chatbot you copy-paste into. A team member that gets things done.

Sound familiar?
Every setup starts by mapping the busywork worth handing off.
Drowning in busywork
AI that has not paid off
Tools that do not talk
What we set up
Four modules, running as one system
Not theory. Not slides. We build it on your stack, connect your tools, and hand it over running like a team member who has already been onboarded.
AI that knows your business
Trained on youWe set Claude up so it remembers your brand voice, processes, and preferences. It works like a team member who has already been onboarded.
Great catching up on Thursday. I’ve attached the updated proposal with the scope changes we discussed…Uses your email style, knows the project context, remembers Sarah is the CFO

What clients say when it is done
He took the time to understand how I actually work before building anything
Blake built me a custom AI 'brain' that now handles a chunk of my day-to-day admin and research gathering. He took the time to understand how I actually work before building anything, and has been responsive every time I've hit a snag. Great combination of technical skill and genuine patience with a non-technical client. Would recommend him to anyone wanting to put AI to real use in their business. Thanks Blake!
Nicholas PetrieLeadership Researcher, Executive Coach & Keynote SpeakerHits his timelines, and hands over tools that work with clear instructions
Blake has become our go-to for everything AI in our business - from setting up Claude and training our team, to building integrations like our PayHero setup that we had struggled with ourselves. He is a genuine sounding board, hits his timelines, and hands over tools that work with clear instructions. We would happily recommend Blake and Harkness AI to any business looking to get real value out of AI.
Nick ZaloumisDirector, Trap and Trigger LtdBuilt custom connectors and processors for our more niche requirements
Blake gets it - prompt, professional, knows his stuff. He took us through the easy set ups and built custom connectors and processors for our more niche requirements. Quick, fun and already changing the way we work.

Hi, I’m Blake
I’m a Fractional AI Engineer based in New Zealand. I create educational AI content on social media and build real solutions for businesses behind the scenes, most often setting Claude up to run the day-to-day work. We focus on your problems first, not just selling the latest tool.
Unlike traditional consultants, we don’t hand you a report and walk away. We stay hands-on from the first call through to a working Claude setup your team actually uses.
