Kaiārahi Playbook · a supported programme
More than a course — a guided journey for a cohort.
A supported programme that lifts your people's confidence with AI and then teaches them agentic training — how to build the AI agents their roles actually need. Bicultural, dignity-first, and measured by outcomes, not attendance.
What it is
A recognised credential, measured outcomes, and support all the way through — for a whole cohort, not just the technical few.
We take people who feel shut out of AI and bring them to real capability and standing — for everyone on the team, not just the technical few.
Teams learn to build the AI agents their mahi needs — turning new confidence into real, useful tools that lift productivity.
Before/after measures, completion, and the things people build — assembled into proof, with a recognised credential at the end.
The productivity leap
The Playbook moves a person from thinking about AI to actioning it — and then to agentic use: building agents that do the work on their own. Here's the shape of the lift an organisation can expect per person.
reclaimed per person, every week — nearly a day back.
the throughput on routine knowledge work.
once they build agents — work that keeps running after hours.
How the journey runs
A cohort moves together — each stage building on the last, with support and cultural grounding throughout.
We meet your people where they are — the eager and the unsure — and set a shared kaupapa for the journey.
Everyone learns to direct AI with real judgement — briefing, checking, shaping — in plain language.

Before/after measures and the things people made, assembled into proof — with a recognised credential.
Where agentic use goes
Agentic training doesn't stop at prompting. People learn to stand real work up in Co-work and Hermes — the two places a Kaiārahi-trained team puts AI to work.
A guided workspace people and AI share — briefs, drafts and decisions side by side. Where a newly-capable person gets real work out the door, fast.
A private, self-running workspace where the agents they build watch for the trigger, do the steps, and only ask for a decision — sovereign, on an NZ-controlled footing.
Who it's for
Government agencies — capability uplift and welfare-to-work that lifts the individual and the nation together.
Iwi and community organisations — bicultural by design, built for the hapori, and serious about data sovereignty: Māori data is guarded, never traded.
Businesses & their teams — practical AI capability and agents that earn their keep.

Why Kaiārahi
Built for capable adults; no one is talked down to, and no one's made to feel behind.
A New Zealand company that genuinely knows both worlds, European and Māori, and builds that into how the programme runs.
Before/after evidence you can stand behind, not attendance sheets.
Help the person at the kitchen table, and you help the whole country grow.
No price tag — a conversation
Every organisation is different, so the Playbook is shaped to fit — cohort size, outcomes, and the agents that matter to your work. Tell us what you're trying to do and we'll come back with a plan.
