Anatomy of a custom AI agent

Why AI agents

We don't build AI to follow trends. We build agents to solve real business challenges.

  • Automate workflows

    Free your team to focus on the high-value work only people can do.

  • Better customer experience

    Faster response times and smarter, more consistent service.

  • Reduce costs

    Take on the complex, time-consuming processes that quietly drain hours.

Frequently asked questions

  • Should we build a custom AI agent or use an off-the-shelf tool?

    Use an off-the-shelf tool when your workflow matches how the tool already works. Build custom when the agent has to reach into your own systems, follow your rules, or handle a process no vendor models. Most NZ businesses start with a small custom pilot on one high-volume workflow.

  • How do I add AI to my existing systems without replacing them?

    Connect the AI to what you already run instead of rebuilding it. Putti links an agent to Xero, MYOB, your CRM or ERP through their APIs and grounds it in your own records, so it answers from your data rather than the internet. Your ledgers and workflows stay where they are, and each new capability goes live on its own once the last one has proven itself.

  • Is my business ready for AI automation?

    Probably, if someone on your team spends hours each week on the same kind of task: matching invoices, triaging support emails, copying details between systems. What matters is enough volume for automation to pay off and data an agent can actually reach. A data science team isn't a prerequisite, and a small pilot on one of those tasks answers the question quickly.

  • How much does a custom AI agent cost in New Zealand?

    It's priced like other custom software, because most of the work is integration and testing rather than the model itself. A pilot on one workflow is scoped like an MVP, which in New Zealand begins in the low tens of thousands of dollars. Model usage and hosting add a running cost, and Putti estimates both before you commit.

  • How long does it take to build an AI agent?

    A pilot on a single, well-defined workflow is usually working within a couple of months. Most of that time goes on wiring the agent into your systems, testing it against real cases from your business and setting the checks it runs under. Once the pilot proves itself, extending it to the next workflow is faster, because the foundations are already in place.

  • Is our business data safe if an AI agent can reach our systems?

    It can be, when the agent is designed around your data rather than a consumer chat tool. We choose AI providers and plans that keep your inputs out of model training, give each agent access only to the records its job needs, and log what it touches. For highly sensitive data, a private cloud or self-hosted model keeps everything inside your own environment.
