Your business isn’t broken.
You're doing too much manually.
You're doing too much manually if:
✓ You're drowning in admin
✓ You answer the same questions repeatedly
✓ You constantly switch between apps
✓ You spend evenings catching up on work
✓ You do tasks someone (or something) else could do
✓ Your to-do list never actually gets shorter
AI Consulting for New Zealand Small Businesses
Running a business doesn't mean you have to spend your evenings catching up on admin.
Shortcut helps small businesses across New Zealand identify where they're losing time, simplify repetitive work and suggest practical AI tools that genuinely make running a business easier.
Rather than teaching you complicated software, we identify where AI can genuinely help and can even help implement the right tools for your business.
Rather than recommending every new AI tool, I focus on the few that will have the biggest impact on your business.
We find the shortcuts,
so you don't have to.
Most business owners don't need another course or webinar. They need an experienced AI consultant to identify where AI will have the biggest impact, recommend the right tools you can spend less time working in your business and more time growing it.
That's where we come in

The backstory
I started The Shortcut Co. because I was a business owner that was capable, busy, and quietly overwhelmed by the idea of Al while everyone around me seemed to already have it figured out . I just needed someone to cut through the noise and show me what actually worked. Now I do that for other women.
Today I help New Zealand small business owners cut through the noise, identify practical ways to save time, and use AI where it genuinely makes a difference.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know anything about Al before we meet?
Not a single thing, and that's exactly the point. Most of the women I work with describe themselves as not particularly techy. That's completely fine. If you can open a browser and use your phone, you have everything you need. We start from wherever you are, no judgment.
Do I need to implement everything myself?
Not at all. Your Shortcut Playbook is designed so you can work through it at your own pace. If you'd like a hand getting started or run into a sticking point, you can book a Guided Setup Session whenever you need one.
No ongoing support contracts. Just practical help when you need it.
Does it matter where I'm based?
Not at all. All sessions run online via Zoom and I work with women in business right across New Zealand and Australia. All you need is a laptop and an internet connection.
How is this different from just Googling "Al tools for small business"?
Google gives you a hundred options and zero context for which ones suit your business. I give you two or three specific recommendations based on how you actually work, then help you set them up properly. It's the difference between being handed a map and having someone who knows the shortcut sit in the passenger seat.
Ready to get your time back?
No commitment, no jargon, and no judgment about where you're starting from. Just an honest conversation about your business and whether we can make your days a little easier.
