Tech Horizon Labs is an AI consulting studio based in Noosa Heads, Queensland. We map business workflows, identify bottlenecks, build private AI systems to fix them, and train your team to run everything independently. We work with Australian SMEs across construction, accounting, legal, healthcare, manufacturing, and more.

We deploy 30+ tools across 10 categories, ranked by AI integratability. AI models: Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, DeepSeek, LLaMA. Development: Claude Code, Replit, Google AI Studio. Content and media: Opus.pro, Opus Agent, Higgsfield.ai, Google Flow and Stitch. Data and research: Firecrawl, Tavily, OpenClaw. Automation: n8n (preferred over Zapier and Make). CRM and business: Attio (preferred over HubSpot), Xero, Stripe, Revolut. Communication: Telegram and Slack (preferred over WhatsApp; Discord is less secure). Productivity: Google Workspace (preferred over Microsoft). Security: Keeper, 1Password, AvePoint, Acronis Cyber Protect (deployed before AI touches your data). SEO and growth: AnswerThePublic, SemRush, Ahrefs. We are vendor-neutral and recommend what fits your use case, data sensitivity, and budget. The full ranked list is on the tools page.

The Horizon Method runs in three phases: Discover (a 2 to 3 week feasibility evaluation that ends with a working pilot), Architect (fixed-priced build phases, typically weeks 4 to 10), and Activate (training and handover, typically weeks 10 to 13). Most engagements reach a working, team-owned system inside 90 days. Fractional deployed engineer support continues month-to-month after that.

If your team spends significant time on repetitive admin, data entry, document processing, or client communications, AI can likely help. The free pre-discovery call answers exactly that, and we'll tell you plainly if AI doesn't make sense for you yet.

The pre-discovery call is free, and our prices are published. The SEO and AI Visibility Sprint (AI visibility) is A$2,500 fixed. Websites start at A$2,000, and larger builds are scoped and priced before any work starts, phase by phase. GST applies; fixed quotes at every gate.

Yes. We're headquartered in Noosa Heads on the Sunshine Coast but work with businesses across Australia. Most of our work is done remotely. We offer on-site visits for South East Queensland clients (Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Gold Coast) and remote collaboration for everyone else.

It helps. The AI Ownership Readiness Check is free: answer six questions and get an instant readout across four dimensions. It gives you a benchmark; the free pre-discovery call turns that into a plan for your specific workflows. Neither commits you to anything.

It's the opposite of buying another SaaS platform. We lay AI infrastructure across the systems you already run (email, CRM, databases, documents), implement it into your workflows and train your staff to operate it, so your data never has to move into a subscription product. You own the infrastructure, the skills, and the documentation; there's no per-seat product of ours to cancel. Theo, our go-to-market agent fleet, is the production proof: it plugs into existing email and CRM systems and runs market research, outreach drafting, proposal and tender assembly, and reporting.

We build AI systems inside your own accounts that connect to the tools you already use, like your CRM, accounting and email, and we keep them up to date as AI tools change. Hiring an AI specialist costs $150K to $200K per year. Fractional deployed engineer gives you a fractional AI ops lead at a fraction of that cost. See our SMB AI Readiness Report for more data.
