The version of semantic search (RAG) that works for a Coffs Harbour business is rarely the version a national vendor would sell you. We build the one that fits how your team actually operates - usually with fewer parts than the off-the-shelf pitch.
For Coffs Harbour operators who want a working pilot in weeks, not a year-long programme.
What semantic search (RAG) actually does
Search that understands intent, not just keywords. Your team types what they mean - and gets the right document, ticket, or product from across every system, with citations.
- 01 Indexes Drive, SharePoint, Notion, Slack, your CRM
- 02 Returns answers with source links - no hallucinations
- 03 Permissioned so staff only see what they should
- 04 Re-indexes nightly so results stay fresh

What's different about doing this work in Coffs Harbour.
- Coffs Harbour blends horticulture, tourism and health, so a lot of local businesses are running seasonal demand against a fixed team.
- Blueberry and banana horticulture, a strong tourism season, health services and the trades supporting steady coastal growth. Peak-season enquiry volume is the pinch point for almost everyone here.

FAQ
How long does semantic search (RAG) take to ship for Coffs Harbour businesses?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks - narrow scope, real Coffs Harbour businesses data, measurable outcome. From there it's another 6-8 weeks of hardening before you'd consider it production. Full rollouts (multiple sites, multiple teams) typically land in 3-4 months.
How do you price semantic search (RAG) engagements?
Fixed-scope pilots first, then either project pricing or a small monthly retainer for the ongoing work. No long lock-ins, no 18-month black-box deals. Most Coffs Harbour businesses are surprised how small the first cheque is.
Can you walk us through a comparable build?
Yes - on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. Average search time drops from 6 minutes to 12 seconds.
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy semantic search (RAG) into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. Pinecone sits in your account too - we don't operate it from ours.
