AI Automation, Murwillumbah NSW
AI automation for Murwillumbah businesses.
AI automation for a Murwillumbah business is a handful of small systems that quietly take the repetitive, time-sensitive admin off a founder's plate: enquiry intake, quote and invoice chasing, document processing, and the integrations that finally make your tools talk to each other. I build them for operators up and down the Tweed hinterland, one person, working inside your business rather than lobbing software over the fence.
No agency layer and no offshore team, just one person who builds each workflow and stays reachable long after it ships. AI automation from $1,500 AUD per workflow.
What It Is
The admin, handed to a system.
AI automation is not a chatbot bolted to your website and it is not a promise to replace your team. It is a set of small, specific systems that do the jobs a person should not have to remember. An enquiry lands, gets read, gets qualified, and a first reply is drafted before the coffee machine has warmed up. An invoice tips over its due date and the follow up goes out on time, every time, in your voice. A grower or supplier sends a PDF and the figures end up where they belong without anyone retyping a single line.
The methodology came from running Lennox Label, a Northern Rivers retail brand, for seven years. Every system the studio builds started as something I needed in my own business and could not buy off the shelf. That is still the test. If a workflow would not have saved me an hour a day back then, I will tell you it is not worth building.
The Town
Built for the way Murwillumbah works.
Murwillumbah sits in the caldera under Wollumbin, Mount Warning, at the heart of the Tweed hinterland. It is a town with two lives running at once: a genuine arts and creative community anchored by the Tweed Regional Gallery and the Margaret Olley Art Centre, and a working agricultural district built on sugar cane, bananas, avocados and other tropical fruit. Add the main-street retail and cafes along Murwillumbah Street, the trades that keep the district running, and a steady flow of visitors coming through for the gallery, the markets and the walks, and you have a town of small operators wearing a lot of hats.
That mix is exactly why generic software rarely fits here. A gallery-adjacent studio, a cane farm with a roadside stall, a cafe doing wholesale on the side and a landscaping crew booked out for months all run very different weeks. The automation I build is shaped around how your business actually operates, not around a template written for somewhere else.
Who It Is For
Founders doing work a system should do.
Murwillumbah runs on small operators. Artists, makers and galleries around the Tweed Regional Gallery precinct, hospitality along the main street and out toward the hinterland villages, growers and producers moving cane, bananas and tropical fruit, trades and construction booked out across the valley, and the retailers holding down Murwillumbah Street. What they share is a founder or a small team doing high-value work and low-value admin in the same day.
That is who this is for. If you are the person answering enquiries at night, reconciling market takings by hand, or copying the same information between three apps, there is almost certainly a workflow here that gives you those hours back. If you have already got a clean process and the right tools and you are just busy, I will tell you that too. Being honest about what does not need building is part of the job.
Real Local Outcomes
What one workflow actually changes.
A gallery-adjacent studio and workshop space in Murwillumbah fielding class and function enquiries through Instagram, email and a web form, all landing in different places. One intake workflow pulls them into a single list, qualifies each against the questions that matter (date, group size, budget) and drafts a first reply, so nothing slips and the owner answers from one screen in five minutes instead of thirty.
A tropical fruit grower running a roadside stall and a wholesale round who keeps rekeying orders and delivery dockets by hand. A document workflow reads each incoming order and packing slip, pulls the quantities and prices, and drops them straight into the spreadsheet and invoices. The late-night retyping disappears and the numbers stop drifting.
A trades business working the hinterland losing money on quotes that never get chased. A follow up workflow watches for quotes that have gone quiet, sends a polite nudge at the right interval in the owner's voice, and flags the ones worth a phone call. The quotes that used to vanish turn back into booked jobs.
These are examples of the shape of the work, scoped to each business. The point is the same every time: find the one job that quietly costs you the most, and hand it to a system that does it reliably while you do the work only you can do.
How We Work
Sit in the business first.
Every engagement runs the same way, because guessing at what to automate is how you waste money.
- 1. Discover. A half-day on site in Murwillumbah or remote, watching how the business actually runs. Where time is lost, where revenue leaks, where the founder is doing work that should belong to a system.
- 2. Diagnose. A short written report: the leaks, the leverage points, what to build first and why. Honest about what does not need building. You keep the diagnosis whether you build with me or not.
- 3. Build alongside you. I design and build inside your business, not external to it. Daily contact, you see drafts and prototypes as they happen, and the workflow gets shaped by the people who actually use it.
- 4. Embed. Hand over with the team trained, the runbook written, and an ongoing support arrangement so the system keeps earning its keep instead of rotting.
Pricing
Priced per workflow, scoped after a call.
AI automation starts from $1,500 AUD per workflow. A workflow is one job done end to end, and most Murwillumbah businesses start with the single one that hurts the most. If the right answer turns out to be bigger, custom software starts from $8,000 AUD and a hand-built website from $3,000 AUD.
Everything is quoted per project after a discovery call, with a small scoping fee up front that is credited toward the build if you go ahead. No retainers to sit in a queue, no paying for a platform you will half use. You get a fixed scope and a fixed price before any real work starts.
Start a project enquiry and we will work out on the call which workflow is worth building first.
