AI development and integration
At Haunt Digital, we offer pragmatic, technically-sound AI services focussed on real-world implementation and compliance.
We work across the full stack of AI technologies — large language models, AI service integrations, and custom application development. Our strength is the combination of software engineering expertise, privacy compliance knowledge, and reliable project execution.
What we build
LLM & AI integration
We integrate large language models into your existing products and platforms — OpenAI, Anthropic, Claude, custom GPTs, and beyond. Whether that's a feature inside an existing application or a purpose-built AI-powered tool.
Privacy-focussed AI engineering
AI introduces real data handling questions. We build with GDPR and NZ Privacy Act compliance in mind from the start — not as an afterthought. This matters especially for public sector, health, and professional services clients.
Deployment and maintenance
We deploy AI systems into production: containerised services, serverless architecture, API integration. We don't just prototype — we build things that run reliably and can be maintained over time.
Technical advisory and prototyping
For boards, product teams, and engineering leads who need to understand what AI can actually do for them before committing to a build. We help you evaluate options, define scope, and avoid expensive wrong turns.
Who we work with
This service is for technical teams, product companies, and organisations with a clear AI build in mind:
- Engineering teams adding AI capabilities to an existing product
- Startups building AI-native tools or services
- Organisations that need compliant AI infrastructure, not just off-the-shelf tools
- Technical leads who want an experienced partner, not a vendor
Why work with us
Compliance is built in, not bolted on
Most AI vendors treat privacy as a legal checkbox. We treat it as an engineering constraint from day one. We build with GDPR and NZ Privacy Act requirements in mind throughout — which matters enormously for public sector, health, and professional services clients, and for anyone whose data doesn't belong in a US-based model's training pipeline.
You work directly with senior people
We're a small, senior team. There are no account managers, no handoffs, no junior developers interpreting the brief. The people you talk to are the people doing the work — which means fewer misunderstandings, faster decisions, and no time wasted re-explaining context.
We're NZ-based, with government credentials
We're members of the New Zealand AI Forum and participate in national dialogue on responsible AI adoption. We're on the All of Government Panel for Development and the Government Marketplace — which means public sector procurement is straightforward.
We use these tools ourselves
We don't just build AI systems for clients — we run our own operations on them. That means we understand the real-world edge cases, the maintenance burden, and what it takes to build something that keeps working as the AI landscape shifts.
How we work
We scope work clearly and deliver in focused sprints. You'll see working output — not reports or slide decks — at the end of every engagement. If we need to investigate before we can scope confidently, we'll say so upfront.
