FAQs
AI consultancy questions
What does an AI consultant do?
An AI consultant helps your organisation decide where AI will create value, put the right governance in place and help your people adopt it. At Matrix AI that covers AI strategy, governance, change management, training and implementation. Workshops build skills, consultancy shapes the decisions around them, and most clients use both.
Do you work across New Zealand and Australia?
Yes. We have offices in Auckland, Wellington, Sydney and Brisbane, and work in person across both countries, including regional centres, as well as online. Clients span agriculture, construction, infrastructure, education, retail, professional services, finance and government. Quotes are in NZD or AUD.
How is Matrix AI different from a vendor or a large consulting firm?
We’re independent. We don’t sell software or licences, so our advice on Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude or any other tool is based on what fits your organisation. You work directly with Glen Maguire, who brings 25+ years in digital transformation, and every engagement is sized to what you actually need.
Do you implement AI or only advise?
Both. We can take you from strategy to working solutions: identifying and testing AI workflows, automation and agentic AI, then supporting adoption so the solutions are actually used.
