Is AI Working For You, or Against You?

Generic AI tools can expose your data and lack the custom fit your NZ SME needs. Pounamu Creative empowers you with secure, tailored AI solutions that genuinely boost efficiency and protect your privacy.

The Hidden Costs of Generic AI

Relying on off-the-shelf AI platforms might seem easy, but it comes with risks often overlooked by SMEs:

  • Data Privacy Breaches: Your sensitive business data could be used to train models for competitors or exposed through platform vulnerabilities. (Industry reports show [X]% increase in data breaches linked to third-party AI tools - Placeholder Stat)
  • Vendor Lock-In & Rising Costs: Dependence on one platform makes switching difficult and leaves you vulnerable to unpredictable price hikes.
  • Lack of Customization: Generic tools rarely fit your unique workflows perfectly, leading to inefficiency or forcing you to change your processes.
  • Compliance Nightmares: Ensuring compliance (like GDPR or local NZ privacy laws) can be complex with opaque, large-scale AI providers.

Pounamu Creative offers a secure, transparent alternative tailored for you.
