What does Zari AI do?

Zari AI builds custom AI applications for Australian SMBs. We audit your business first to identify automation opportunities, then build native AI apps using OpenAI and Claude. You own the software—no subscriptions, no lock-in.

How much does an AI Opportunity Audit cost?

The AI Opportunity Audit costs $3,500 AUD and takes 1–2 weeks. You'll get a ranked list of automation opportunities, ROI estimates, and a build roadmap.

How long does a custom AI app build take?

Custom builds typically take 4–12 weeks depending on complexity. We handle design, development, training, and deployment. You own the final software.

Do I own the AI app after it's built?

Yes. You own 100% of the software. There's no vendor lock-in, no ongoing subscriptions to Zari AI. You can modify, deploy, or integrate it however you want.

What if I'm not ready for a full build?

Start with an AI Opportunity Audit ($3,500). We'll show you exactly where AI can help, estimate ROI, and create a roadmap. You can then decide if a custom build makes sense for your business.

Do you offer ongoing support after the build?

Yes. We offer Support & Evolution packages starting at $750–$3,000/month. This includes updates, troubleshooting, strategic guidance, and ongoing improvements to your AI system.

What is AI workflow automation?

In plain English: it’s turning a repeatable business process into a system that runs reliably, with AI handling messy inputs (emails, notes, documents, free text) and automation handling predictable steps (routing, reminders, updates, notifications).

Important: the goal is not “using AI”. The goal is a measurable outcome like faster response time, more bookings, fewer no-shows, or less admin.

Where we see the biggest wins in Sydney service businesses

Missed call to booked appointment

After-hours and missed calls trigger instant follow-up, capture intent, propose times, and confirm bookings.

FAQ

Do we need to replace our current tools?

Usually no. The fastest wins come from integrating what you already use and fixing the workflow around it.

How long does a first workflow take?

Most first workflows can be mapped, built, and tested in weeks, depending on complexity and integrations.

Can we start with one workflow?

Yes. Starting with one high-ROI workflow is the best way to get results quickly and reduce risk.
