Put Claude to work as your business's AI employee.
We connect Claude to the tools you already use, train it on how your business works, and set it up to run the busywork around the clock. Not a chatbot you copy-paste into, an employee that gets things done.

Sound familiar?
The problems we solve every day
Drowning in busywork
Your team loses hours every week to email, admin, data entry, and reporting that could run itself
AI that hasn't paid off
You've tried ChatGPT, but copy-pasting prompts never turned into real hours or dollars saved
Tools that don't talk
Your work is scattered across Gmail, Xero, Notion, and a dozen tabs, and none of it connects
No more switching tabs
One AI, wired into the tools you already use
Claude plugs straight into your stack, so it can draft emails, update records, and pull data without you copy-pasting between apps.

We set Claude up with your business context, connect your tools, and build the skills, automations, and agents that do the work.
Handover & support
We hand it over running, walk your team through it in plain English, and stay on call as your business grows.

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.

Blake has become our go-to for everything AI in our business. He started by helping us set up Claude across the business and training our team to actually use it well, then built out a range of connections between our AI systems and the apps we run day to day, both native integrations and custom ones like our PayHero setup that we had struggled to get working ourselves.
Beyond the technical builds, Blake has been a genuine sounding board. He talks through our ideas with us, gives honest advice on what is worth doing, and steers us away from things that will not pay off. He has built us AI tools for reporting and project tracking that have made a real difference to how we operate.
What stands out is how easy he is to deal with. He keeps us in the loop, hits his timelines, and hands over tools that work along with clear instructions so we can run with them. He knows his stuff and gets things done.
We would happily recommend Blake and Harkness AI to any business looking to get real value out of AI.
Blake is an outstanding collaborator.
He is exceptionally well-suited to work with businesses of any size - whether small startups or large organisations. Blake has a unique ability to identify core challenges and ideas within a company and transform them into effective solutions. His expertise in AI, combined with his excellent people skills, enables him to deliver results that are both highly functional and cost-effective.
I highly recommend working with Blake.

Recently completed a half day course with Blake building my Claude Brain. The course was insightful & practical. Running 2 companies I know this is going to help me claw back some time on a lot of the repetitive tasks. Thank you Blake, excellent value and advice.

Blake brought a solid technology & AI perspective to our engagement at BMC. He clearly knows his space and was easy to work with, the conversations he sparked were useful in helping us get clearer on what we actually needed from a systems / AI standpoint. Thanks again.
Blake took the time to understand our vision and explained the technical side in a way that was easy to follow, making the whole process simple and stress-free. He took a complex idea and turned it into something practical, clear and user-friendly. Great work, great communication, and a great experience from start to finish.
Nice work Blake. A great demo of how simple it is these days to get underway with chatbots.
Blake is an absolute gem to work with! When I was drowning in the deep end trying to implement our Podcast Portal, Blake threw me a lifeline. He became an A+ collaborator who made the whole experience actually enjoyable.
Finding alternative products with Glow4Less has helped me save money. It was easy as to use.

Super cool demo, Blake - I love how you broke this down so fast and clean.
Hey Blake, thanks for sharing this, really helpful for my son doing NCEA1.
Blake exemplifies what makes a great tech-sector professional: the ability to combine strong technical expertise with excellent soft skills. He pairs high-level technical competence and sharp critical thinking with outstanding collaboration and communication abilities.
Amazing man I love these kind of tutorials
You are so good at what you do and so generous with your time and findings!
You are an truly inspirational young guy, and you've got a lot ahead of you! Can't wait to see you transform NZ!!!
