# Industrial AI

> Industrial AI is an Australian computer vision and AI automation company. We build custom systems for production environments, worksites, and business operations across Australia and New Zealand. Two main lanes: industrial computer vision (defect detection, load verification, safety monitoring, custom-trained image models) and AI agents/automation (enquiry handling, quoting, scheduling, document processing). Edge-first by default — sensitive data stays on-site. Headquartered on the Gold Coast, Queensland.

Industrial AI builds bespoke systems around the cameras, workflows and tools a business already has. The starting point is always a free site assessment — no off-the-shelf templates, no generic dashboards, no demos sold as deliverables. Every system is custom-built for the operation it has to fit into.

The product range covers four real, shippable offerings: custom computer vision builds, the Rent-an-Agent AI employee product (7-day trial at $59 AUD, $297 AUD/month ongoing), on-site AI Workshops (three tiers from $497 to $1,997 AUD), and OpenClaw setup and deployment for businesses that want their own AI agent properly configured. Trans-Tasman service — Australia and New Zealand.
