Focusing on Intelligence.
FocusAI is a New Zealand studio building apps and websites that bring intelligence to business and personal life. We turn messy, real-world data into tools people actually reach for — made in Hawke’s Bay, built for everywhere.
Two halves of one idea: intelligence, applied.
Every FocusAI product starts from the same question — what’s the one thing that would make this clearer? Some of our work answers that for businesses; some of it answers it for everyday life.
Sharper decisions about places, markets and money.
We synthesise official data and real-world signals into tools that help businesses, investors and councils see what’s happening and what’s coming next. Pulze is our flagship here — live, hyper-local economic intelligence for New Zealand.
Less friction, more focus, fewer things forgotten.
We build calm, location- and context-aware tools that quietly handle the mental load — remembering the errand, surfacing the one thing that matters today. StopBy and OneThing live here.
Products in build, growing on purpose.
A small, deliberate portfolio. Each product is its own brand, built to the same standard — and the studio is structured so the next one drops straight in.
Location-aware errand intelligence — anywhere in the world. StopBy notices when you pass a shop that matches a pending errand, and nudges you at exactly the right moment.

FocusAI is a founder-led studio based in Havelock North, New Zealand. Small, deliberate, and built in public — local in origin, global in use. We partner with people and organisations who want intelligent software that earns its place on the home screen.
Let’s build something intelligent.
