Inside Growin: The 9 Tools Saving Us 20 Hours/Week
Most agencies talk about being "AI Native." We'll show you ours running, line by line. The good, the broken, and the part that almost cost us a clients.
Every digital consultancy in Auckland is suddenly "AI Native." Almost none of them will show you what that actually means in practice.
We will:
In 60 minutes, I'll walk you through the Growin AI workflows. You'll see the actual tools, the actual prompts, the actual cost (in NZD, all in), and the actual time saved.
No slides about "the future of AI." No vendor pitch. Just my screen, our stack, and the questions you want to ask.
What you'll see live
- The AI workflow that writes our client reports (and the one we tried that failed)
- How we use AI to qualify leads before a human ever talks to them
- The Google Ads automation stack — what's worth automating and what isn't
- Our monthly AI cost (and what it replaced)
- The 2 workflows I'd build first if I was starting today
- The one I'd kill immediately
Who this is for :
- NZ business owners running 2–20 person teams who suspect they're doing too much manual work
- Agency founders wondering whether to invest in AI tooling vs hire another person
- Marketing managers tired of generic AI hype and wanting to see real implementations
- Anyone who's read "you should use AI" 100 times and still doesn't know where to start
Who this is NOT for
- People wanting an "intro to AI" or ChatGPT tutorial - Anyone hoping for predictions about AGI, the future of work, or which jobs AI will replace - Folks looking for a sales pitch (there's an offer at the end, but the 55 minutes before it are pure walkthrough)
Format:
- 45 minutes live walkthrough on Igor's actual screen
- 15 minutes live Q&A — no question off limits, including pricing, mistakes, and what we tried that didn't work
- Recording sent to all registrants the next day
- Free to attend
About the hosts
Igor Shadoff, founder of https://growin.nz. Previously published "https://growin.nz/insights/we-spent-1185-on-google-ads" because I think the digital marketing industry has a transparency problem.
Kieran Lee, founder of N16 Consultancy. Published how is important to streamline business processes before automation https://www.n16consulting.co.nz/insights/automating-chaos/
This event is the same idea, applied to our internal AI stack.
What happens after
At the end, I'll mention AI Navigator a structured, business-first approach to identifying high-value AI opportunities — grounded in how your organisation actually works. You don't need to buy anything to attend, and I won't follow up with sales spam if you don't. If you want the walkthrough but hate the offer, just close the tab when I get to it. No hard feelings.
