AI Design Tools Now Cheap for NZ Firms
Neural Concept got $100M to make AI design cheap. NZ firms can now test new products fast.
The Problem for NZ Firms
Old design tools cost $50,000 per year. Most Kiwi firms can’t afford that.
Joe’s Boat Works in Auckland took six months to design. Rivals in Asia did it in two.
What This Means
AI design tools now cost $500 per month. You can test 100 designs per day.
It’s like having 50 engineers work for you. But you pay for one.
Why Kiwis Should Care
NZ makes boats, food gear, and machines. We need to move fast to win.
China copies our designs in weeks. We need to beat them with better ideas.

You tell it what you need. It shows you ten good options.
What To Do Now
- Pick One Part – Start with a small bracket or clip.
