The AI growth agency for Kiwi businesses.
Most agencies sell you a slide deck. We sell you outcomes — AI visibility, automation, conversion lifts — and show our work every week in plain English.
Search just split in two. Most NZ businesses missed it.
Half your customers still Google. The other half ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, or Gemini — and AI answers them in one sentence. If your business isn't the answer, your competitor is.
Most NZ businesses don't have the in-house resource to rebuild for that. Most agencies are still selling them Google Ads playbooks from 2019.
FoundByAI exists to close that gap — fast, locally, and without the agency theatre.
Small senior team. No fluff layers.
Operators, not consultants
Our team comes from inside ecommerce, CRO, and growth — not from a slide-deck agency. We've scaled stores, run experiments, and shipped what works.
AI-native from day one
We were rebuilding workflows around AI before most agencies had a ChatGPT login. AEO, GEO, and AI automation aren't add-ons — they're how we think.
Small senior team
No junior account managers, no offshore handoffs. The person you brief is the person doing the work and sending you the report.
Four rules. No exceptions.
Plain English, not jargon
If we can't explain what we're doing to your nan, we're not doing it. Every report, every Loom, every call.
Show our work, weekly
Live dashboard. Weekly Loom videos. You'll never have to ask 'so what did we pay for this month?'
Local first
We only work with NZ businesses. No offshore agency layers, no time zone games, no generic templates.
Long game over short tricks
We don't chase loopholes. AEO done right compounds for years. We build moats, not hacks.
