What I build for Perth businesses
Custom AI and AI agents scoped for WA operators — St Georges Terrace head offices, Kwinana and Fremantle industrial sites, Pilbara operations run from Perth. Most projects ship in 6–10 weeks.

Energy & utilities
Outage correspondence agents, asset inspection report triage, LNG and gas contract document search, regulatory submission drafting, network fault summaries for WA energy operators.
Engineering & technical services
Specification and drawing search across project archives, variation and RFI drafting, compliance checking against standards, estimating support for Perth engineering and EPCM firms.
Agribusiness & grain
Grower correspondence agents, receival and quality document extraction, season planning assistants, export documentation checks for WA grain, livestock and horticulture businesses.
FIFO workforce logistics
Roster query agents for crews, flight and camp booking coordination, pre-mobilisation compliance checks, medical and ticket expiry tracking across FIFO workforces flown out of Perth.
Professional services & B2B SaaS
Client intake and matter triage, proposal generation, in-product AI features, support deflection trained on your own documentation, reporting agents for Perth service and software firms.
Built for Perth and Western Australia
The local ground rules a generic AI vendor will ask you about after the contract is signed.
AWST hours, not east-coast hours
Perth runs AWST at UTC+8, two hours behind the east coast in winter and three in summer, and it does not observe daylight saving. My day overlaps yours almost completely, so demos and questions land inside your working hours rather than at the end of them.
Privacy Act 1988 from day one
Built to the Australian Privacy Principles: stated purpose, minimum data, retention you can defend, and a breach path ready for the OAIC notifiable scheme. Contractor and FIFO workforce data gets the same treatment as customer data.
Site and operational reality
Remote sites have thin links and long shifts. Agents are designed to work with intermittent connectivity, to hand a decision to a human when confidence drops, and to log every action so a supervisor can see what the system did and why.
Data stays in Australia
Workloads run in the AWS, Azure or Google Cloud Sydney or Melbourne regions, or inside your own data centre. No US region by default and no cross-border transfer nobody told your auditor about.
AUD invoicing
Quotes and invoices in AUD, paid by bank transfer or Wise. GST on an imported service follows ATO rules, and your finance team gets the documentation it expects from an offshore supplier.
How pricing works
Fixed price, quoted after a short scoping chat with me. See how the quote is built and the typical timeline first.

Perth FAQ
Are you registered in Australia?+
No. AI Makers LLC is a US company registered in New Mexico, and I serve clients across Australia remotely, from Perth through to Sydney and Melbourne. WA clients tend to like the arrangement: you deal with the developer directly, and the AWST overlap means answers come back the same day. Site visits to Perth, Fremantle or a regional operation are arranged per project.
Do you meet Privacy Act obligations?+
Yes. I sign a data-processing agreement before any data moves, build to the Australian Privacy Principles, list every sub-processor, and never train a model on your data without written permission. The notifiable data breach process is documented for each project.
Can an AI agent work with site systems and poor connectivity?+
Yes. Agents are built to queue work when a link drops, retry cleanly, and escalate to a person rather than guess. Integrations run against the systems you already have, including maintenance, roster and document platforms, and every action is logged for review.
How does the AWST time difference work?+
Perth is UTC+8 and my working day sits on almost the same clock. You get replies during your afternoon rather than overnight, demos are booked inside WA business hours, and nothing waits a full day for a response from the other side of the world.
How is a Perth project priced?+
A focused agent or internal assistant is a smaller build than a workflow connected across operational systems or a full platform. Fixed price for the agreed scope, quoted after a short scoping chat with me. The written quote spells out what's in and what's out, and you own the code.
