AI Implementation · Regulated Professionals · New Zealand

Stop rewriting.
Start reviewing.

We configure AI tools on your own machine so routine correspondence, admin, and standard documents start from a structured first draft instead of a blank page — without touching privileged or clinical material.

  • More time on your actual work

    Admin that writes itself — from your own precedents.

    Routine correspondence, standard letters, and follow-ups start as structured drafts built from your own files and previous work.

  • Clear boundaries from day one

    We define what the system does — and what it never touches.

    Privileged material, clinical data, and professional judgement stay entirely with you. That boundary is explicit, written, and built into every workflow.

  • Already experimenting with AI?

    Turn ad hoc usage into something controlled.

    If you're already using AI tools informally, the risk isn't what you know — it's what you haven't thought through yet. We audit, reset, and rebuild properly.

Who This Is For

Two tracks.
One standard of work.

Distilwork serves two regulated professions where admin volume is high, professional obligations are strict, and the cost of getting AI wrong is real.

Track One

NZ Barristers Sole
Stop rewriting. Start reviewing.

We configure AI tools on your own machine so routine correspondence, templates, and admin start from a structured first draft — built on your own precedents, without touching privileged material.

  • Standard correspondence and letters from your own templates
  • Routine admin: scheduling, follow-ups, file notes, time recording
  • Brief summaries from documents you provide
  • Prompt packs built from your own precedents
  • Training on safe use within agreed boundaries

Not included: legal advice, court documents for filing, advocacy drafting, or anything automating legal judgement. Professional responsibility stays with you, entirely.

Track Two

Private Medical Specialists
You stay clinical. We set up the rest.

We configure AI tools on your own machine — or your practice manager's — so referral letters, reports, and practice admin start from a structured first draft. No patient records. No clinical system integration. Ever.

  • Referral letters and outpatient report structures
  • Admin correspondence and scheduling follow-ups
  • Practice organisation and standard communications
  • Non-clinical workflows for you or your practice manager
  • Written operating rules aligned with Privacy Act obligations

Not included: clinical decision support, patient record access, PMS integration, or anything involving patient-identifiable information. Non-negotiable.

Plain Talk

What this is —
and what it isn't.

This is a fixed-scope setup service, not a consulting engagement. We configure tools that already exist, built on your own files. You stay fully in control of everything the system produces.

Professional responsibility stays with you. We do not automate judgement, produce legal advice, generate clinical outputs, or create anything that bypasses your professional obligations.

"We do not configure AI tools to draft final legal advice, touch privileged client material without boundaries, integrate with clinical systems, or use patient data. If a workflow creates risk we cannot mitigate, we decline to build it."

The Process

Fixed scope.
Clear steps.
Done.

Every package has a defined scope, a delivery window, and a bedding-in period — then it is finished. No retainer required.

01

Free 60-Minute Suitability Call

A practical check of your current machine, storage setup, existing tools, and the types of work you do most. We leave with a clear go/no-go view. If it is a good fit, you receive a fixed written quote before anything further is committed.

No obligation · No fee
02

Readiness Review (if needed)

For practices with existing AI use, unclear boundaries, or complex setups, a paid Readiness Review comes first. It maps what is safe, what is not, and produces a written one-page setup plan before any implementation begins. Credited in full toward any package.

Setup on Your Machine

We configure the AI tools on your own hardware, build your approved workflows, and create your prompt pack from your own precedents and templates. You do not move to new software. We come to where you are.

Remote or in-person, Auckland
04

Training, Handover, and Done

A structured training session on your actual setup — not a generic AI course. You receive a plain-English quick-reference guide and written operating rules specific to your system. Then a short bedding-in window for any minor refinements.

One or two sessions depending on package

Software licences are purchased directly by you from the relevant provider — not through us. Ongoing AI tool cost is typically NZD $30–50/month. Readiness Review fee is credited in full if you proceed to any implementation package within 90 days.

Not sure if this is right for your practice?

The free 60-minute suitability call is exactly that — a practical check, not a sales pitch. If your setup is not a good fit, we will say so plainly and you leave with a clear view of your options.

Honest Expectations

What a sceptic
should know.

The professionals we work with are experienced, precise, and have no patience for overselling. Neither do we. These are the things we say upfront, every time.

You remain professionally responsible for every output.

Whether you are a barrister or a specialist, using AI tools does not transfer professional responsibility. Every draft produced must be reviewed by you before it is used. We build your setup to make that review easy — not to bypass it.

We do not touch privileged, clinical, or sensitive material.

Initial setups are limited to approved, lower-risk administrative workflows. Anything involving privileged communications, patient records, or sensitive personal information requires a separate written review — and may simply be unsuitable. We will not pressure you to expand the boundary.

AI tools involve third-party servers. We are clear about that.

Conversations with AI tools process through external servers. We are transparent about how data flows in your specific setup, flag where caution is warranted, and recommend alternatives where a workflow creates exposure you are not comfortable with.

The platform will keep changing. That is not our fault, but it is your reality.

AI tool pricing and features shift quickly. We maintain competence across multiple platforms so your setup is not stranded if one changes. We do not lock you into any single vendor.

This is not ongoing IT support.

Each package has a defined scope and a bedding-in window for minor fixes. After that, the engagement is complete. There is no open-ended helpdesk or monthly retainer unless you specifically want one.

Common Questions

Answered plainly.

Do you provide ongoing support after setup?

No. Each package is fixed-scope. There is a short bedding-in window for minor fixes, but this is not a managed IT or ongoing helpdesk engagement. Periodic optimisation can be discussed as a separate arrangement if you want it.

I already use AI occasionally. Why would I pay for this?

Because using AI occasionally is not the same as a repeatable, safe, practice-specific setup. Ad hoc prompting produces inconsistent results and creates boundary risks. We build something you can rely on, with rules that protect you.

Can this be used for privileged client or patient material?

Not by default. Initial setups are limited to approved lower-risk workflows. Anything involving privileged communications or patient-identifiable information needs a separate written review — and in practice, that answer is almost always no.

Do you supply hardware or manage my IT?

No. You provide the machine. If your current hardware is not suitable, we will give you a written specification. The purchase, warranty, and ongoing support remain with you and your existing IT supplier.

How much does the AI software cost each month?

Typically NZD $30–50 per month, purchased directly by you from the provider. We do not mark up software or take commissions. You hold your own licence and can cancel it independently of our engagement.

Can this be set up for a practice manager as well as the principal?

Yes, and it is often the right approach. The suitability call establishes who the setup is for and we build accordingly. Training sessions can be conducted with the specialist or barrister directly, the practice manager, or both.

Start with afree conversation.

The 60-minute suitability call is a practical check, not a sales pitch. If your practice is not a good fit, we will say so. Auckland-based, available nationally.
