A Whānau Built on Love,
Powered by AI
WedgewoodAI isn't your typical tech company. We're a family — a single father and his four children — living, learning, and building together from our compound in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
The WedgewoodAI Compound
Our home is our office, our lab, and our creative space. The WedgewoodAI Compound in Aotearoa is where a single father of four has built something extraordinary — a family tech company where everyone contributes, everyone learns, and everyone grows together.
Our Whānau
Three of our four children are on the Spectrum and are unable to work in traditional employment. But at WedgewoodAI, that's never been a barrier — it's part of what makes us unique. Our family sees the world differently, and that perspective fuels the creativity behind everything we build.
AI Prompt Masters
None of us come from traditional tech backgrounds. Our family members have interests in gaming and social media — not computer science degrees. But we've trained ourselves as AI Prompt Masters, learning to harness the power of artificial intelligence to build real, functional products. We don't write code the old way — we speak to AI, and AI builds for us.
AI for AI Development
Our tagline says it all: "AI for AI Development." We use artificial intelligence tools to build AI-powered products. It's a new paradigm, and we're proud to be at the forefront. Every product we release — from CaddieChat to AuraShop to AuraKin AI to AuraBiz AI — is conceived, designed, and built using AI.
Our Mission
At WedgewoodAI, our mission is to demonstrate that artificial intelligence can be a great equaliser. We believe that AI technology should be accessible to everyone — regardless of their technical background, abilities, or circumstances. Our family is living proof that with curiosity, persistence, and the right tools, anyone can build meaningful technology.
We are committed to developing AI-powered products that solve real problems for real people. From helping golfers improve their game with CaddieChat, to simplifying online shopping through AuraShop, to supporting families with AuraKin AI — every product we create begins with a genuine need we've identified in our own lives or community.
We also believe strongly in transparency and community involvement. That's why we publicly share our initiatives and partnerships, such as our involvement with the New Zealand Indoor Golf Association. We want to show that a small family company from Aotearoa can make a meaningful contribution to the technology landscape.
How We Work
AI-First Development
We use advanced AI platforms like Abacus.AI to design, build, and deploy our products. This AI-first approach allows our family to move at a pace that rivals traditional development teams, turning ideas into working applications in days rather than months.
Quality Over Quantity
Rather than rushing to release as many products as possible, we focus on getting each product right. Every feature is tested within our family first, refined based on real-world use, and only released when we are confident it delivers genuine value.
Community Driven
Our products are inspired by real needs in our community. We listen to feedback, participate in local initiatives, and build products that reflect the values and culture of Aotearoa New Zealand while serving a global audience.
Our Values
Whānau First
Family is at the heart of everything we do. Our company exists to create opportunities for our whānau, and that family-first mindset extends to how we treat our users and community.
Innovation Through AI
We embrace AI as a creative partner, not just a tool. By mastering AI prompting and leveraging platforms like Abacus.AI, we turn ambitious ideas into polished products without a traditional engineering team.
Neurodiversity as Strength
Three of our family members are on the Autism Spectrum. Their unique perspectives and ways of thinking directly influence our product design, making our tools more thoughtful and inclusive for all users.
Proudly Kiwi
Rooted in Aotearoa New Zealand, we carry the Kiwi spirit of ingenuity and resourcefulness into everything we build. Our products serve a global audience while staying true to our NZ values and culture.
