The reason we take on work in Launceston is that the businesses here tend to be sharper about what they want than the brief lets on. Semantic search (RAG) for a Launceston team almost always ends up looking different to semantic search (RAG) for a downtown Auckland one.
Semantic search (RAG) that lives in your stack, not on a vendor's roadmap. Shipped from Tasmania.
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
Built on: Pinecone Claude Postgres pgvector Vercel AI SDK

How we build semantic search (RAG) for a Launceston team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Launceston business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI search over your data.

FAQ
How fast could we have semantic search (RAG) in production?
Eight to ten weeks for most Launceston businesses. Faster if your data is in good shape and slower if we're untangling a legacy integration first. We'll give you a realistic number on the scoping call rather than the optimistic one.
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for Launceston businesses that aren't sure whether the build is worth doing at all. You get a one-page write-up of what we'd build, what we'd skip, and what it would cost. About 30% of those discoveries end with us recommending you don't proceed.
What's the realistic outcome for Launceston businesses?
Average search time drops from 6 minutes to 12 seconds. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
What if our Launceston doesn't have any data ready?
Most don't. Getting the data into shape - ingestion, cleaning, the lightweight contracts you need before any model is useful - is part of the engagement. For semantic search (RAG) specifically, we typically run that work on Pinecone, Claude, Postgres pgvector, Vercel AI SDK and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
