Why BuildAI

Technology experts. Business operators.

Any developer can build you a website. We build you a business asset.

State-of-the-art AI

We use the latest generative AI tools at every stage — which is why you get agency-grade work at a fraction of agency cost.

Approve the look before launch

We refine the agreed visual design before your website goes live. The promise is design approval within scope — not unlimited redesigns or a promise of commercial outcomes.

Speed without compromise

AI-assisted development means your website or app is live in days, not months — without sacrificing quality, SEO or design.

One partner, end to end

Websites, automation, apps, ads and AI search visibility — one person who's run businesses, accountable for all of it.

Nikolai Janetzke, founder of BuildAI
Who you're working with

Built by someone who's run businesses — not just websites

BuildAI is run by Nikolai Janetzke, with more than 25 years of hands-on business and IT experience. He grew Future PC from a small IT business into a 17-person company and personally handled its online marketing. At its peak, Future PC was a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and a Vodafone and HP partner.

Nik has built teams, won customers, managed cash flow and dealt with the same sales and admin pressures other business owners face. That is why every BuildAI project is judged on one thing: will it save the business time or help it make more money?

Common questions

How much does a website cost?
Lead-capture websites from $990. Website + automation (booking, AI assistant, follow-up) from $4,490. Custom AI systems and apps from $7,990. Every project is quoted before work begins — no surprises.
What is Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO)?
GEO structures your website so AI search engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews — cite and recommend your business in their answers. We build it into every site as standard.
How quickly can you build a website?
Most business websites are live within 1–2 weeks; simple sites in days. AI-assisted development cuts build time dramatically without compromising quality, SEO or design.
Where are you located?
BuildAI is based in the Waikato. We work with clients across New Zealand, Australia and Dubai, with on-site visits available in New Zealand where useful.
What's the free AI Opportunity Audit?
A free 30–45 minute review of your workflows. You get a short, practical report showing where you're losing time to admin and leads to slow follow-up — and what to automate first. Yours to keep either way.
What happens after my site or system is live?
All builds can include a monthly care plan from $89 covering hosting, one blog post, monitoring, one monthly backup and some small changes.
