If the 80s taught us anything, it's that every good pilot needs a co-pilot. 😎✈️

There's a lot of talk about AI replacing jobs, but in reality, tools like Microsoft Copilot work best when they're helping people, not replacing them.

Think of it like this:

✅ Copilot can help you navigate
✅ Copilot can help you monitor what's happening
✅ Copilot can help you communicate faster
✅ Copilot can support your decisions

But...

❌ Copilot isn't the pilot.

You're still the one making the decisions, steering the direction and taking responsibility for the outcome.

The people getting the most out of AI aren't sitting back and letting it do everything.

They're learning how to fly the plane better.

And honestly, the 80s version of that lesson just looks cooler. 😎

Introducing HABIT: The Next Evolution of HB Tech

For more than 20 years, we've helped New Zealand businesses use technology to solve practical business problems.

Today, we're excited to introduce HABIT - our dedicated AI & Automation division.

If you've noticed the name, there's a reason behind it...

🧬 HABIT is HBT, with AI woven in🧬

That reflects exactly how we believe AI should be adopted. Not bolted onto your business. Not replacing your people. But woven into the systems, processes and everyday habits that already make your organisation successful.

From process automation and custom business apps through to AI agents, copilots, intelligent reporting and document AI, HABIT is focused on helping organisations unlock practical, measurable outcomes from AI and automation.

We're excited to share this next chapter with you.

Great to see TaylorCorp recognised by RNZ for the impact they’re making in agri tech 🌱

By leaning into AI and automation, they’ve doubled processing capacity and are now handling up to 3,000 apples a minute, while improving quality and consistency across exports.

What stands out is their approach to people. They’ve focused on upskilling their team to work alongside the technology, maintaining capability while lifting performance.

There’s no one size fits all when it comes to AI adoption, but it’s encouraging to see a practical example of change being managed well.

Good to see Hawke’s Bay agri businesses continuing to push forward with high impact use of technology.

Excited to see what’s next for the Taylor Corp team 👏

Every day, about 10 40 foot shipping containers of apples are trucked out of Taylor Corp Apple's packhouse to be exported around the world.

What do you get when you bring some of Hawke’s Bay’s top law firms into one room?

A whole lot of curiosity, collaboration, and future-thinking.

Our Legal Lunch & Learn at Foodeast was all about unpacking AI and automation. What it means, what’s coming, and how the legal world can adapt.

Such a great session with plenty of ideas shared 👏

Training then vs now 👇

📼 Then: Long sessions, boring slides, info overload
⚡ Now: Quick, practical, on-demand learning

That’s the shift.
And it’s why tools like Bigger Brains are changing the game.

Smarter training = better teams ✅
