About WillAi

Kia ora, I'm Will.

I'm William McIntosh, founder of WillAi, based in Auckland. I build AI website chat assistants for local small businesses, with phone agents coming as a pilot, and I look after them once they're running.

You deal with a real local person who builds and looks after it.

Background

Real experience building AI and automation

AI isn't a side interest for me. It's what I studied and what I've built for real organisations.

EDUCATION

Master's in Computer Science, focus on AI

Portland State University, with a focus on artificial intelligence.

PORT OF PORTLAND

Automation for waste data

Built automation for the Port of Portland in Portland, Oregon, to handle their waste data.

AI STARTUPS

Automation and machine learning models

Built automation and machine learning models for AI startups.

AUCKLAND SCHOOLS

Curriculum websites

Wrote curriculum websites for local high schools here in Auckland.

Customer support

I know what good support feels like for the customer

I spent seven years in technical customer support roles, and I also recruited for those roles, including at technical software companies Mindbody and Procore.

So I've got both sides: the technical skills, and real customer-support experience. I know what's needed on the client side, and I know the goal is to make the customer's experience as easy as possible.

That's why WillAi assistants are built to answer specific, technical questions, instead of just pointing people to a help article.

How I work

Straightforward, local and looked after

I set it up for you

No DIY software to wrestle with. We talk through what your customers ask, I build your assistant, test it properly and set it up in your own DocsBot account.

Plain English, no jargon

You'll know exactly what it does and what it costs: a one-off installation fee (NZ$2,000 incl. GST NZ$1,000 incl. GST with an email code), and you pay DocsBot directly for the plan.

I stick around

Need a tweak? Call or email me directly. Ongoing changes are included, with no monthly fee from me.

Let's have a chat

Tell me about the questions and enquiries you're missing and I'll tell you honestly whether AI chat is a good fit.
