We've worked with enough operators in Gladstone to know that the brief that arrives in our inbox is rarely the brief that ends up shipped. The first thing we do on any AI HR assistant project is sit with your team for a day before we propose anything.
Built and supported here - the way a Gladstone business would actually use it.

What's different about doing this work in Gladstone.
- Gladstone is heavy industry - LNG, alumina and one of the biggest ports in the country, which sets an industrial compliance bar every supplier has to clear.
- LNG trains, alumina refining, a major bulk port and a large industrial contracting sector. Safety documentation and supplier prequalification are the single largest admin load for local businesses.

How we build AI HR assistant for a Gladstone team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Gladstone business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI HR and people ops.
Talk to usThe outcome for Gladstone teams
HR enquiries drop 65% in the first month - leaders get their week back. For Gladstone teams, that almost always shows up as fewer interruptions and a calmer week, not a dashboard chart.
Not your typical AI agency.
Honest about what AI can and cannot do
Ships the one workflow that pays for itself
Hours given back, never the size of the invoice
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
FAQ
When does AI HR assistant actually pay back?
Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for a Gladstone - so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call - fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
Has this actually shipped for a real Gladstone?
Yes. HR enquiries drop 65% in the first month - leaders get their week back. We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI HR assistant can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Claude, Employment Hero API, BambooHR, Vercel but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
