What does Tech Horizon Labs do?
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.
What AI tools do you implement for businesses?
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.
How long does AI implementation take?
The Horizon Method runs in three phases: Discover (a 2–3 week feasibility evaluation that ends with a working pilot, not just a report), Architect (fixed-priced build phases, typically weeks 4–10), and Activate (training and handover, typically weeks 10–13). Most engagements reach a working, team-owned system inside 90 days. Partner Tier support continues month-to-month after that.
Is AI right for my small business?
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 exists to answer exactly that — and we'll tell you honestly if it doesn't make sense yet. About 30% of inquiries are turned away. Most Australian SMEs with 5–50 employees find at least one high-impact automation opportunity.
What does AI consulting cost in Australia?
The pre-discovery call is free, and our prices are published. The Get Found 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. Academy membership is $79 per month (founding members $49, locked for life). GST applies; fixed quotes at every gate.
Do you work with businesses outside Queensland?
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.
Should I do the readiness check before the call?
It helps. The AI Ownership Readiness Check is free — six questions, no email required, 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.
What is AI infrastructure as a service?
It's the opposite of buying another SaaS platform. Instead of a subscription product your data has to move into, 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. 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 — with a human approving everything that sends.
How is this different from hiring an AI employee or using ChatGPT ourselves?
Using ChatGPT ad hoc is where 61% of Australian SMBs are stuck — the "ChatGPT Plateau." We build integrated AI systems that connect to your existing tools (CRM, accounting, email), run on private infrastructure, and are maintained and updated as AI tools evolve. Hiring an AI specialist costs $150K–$200K per year. Partner Tier gives you a fractional AI ops lead at a fraction of that cost. See our SMB AI Readiness Report for more data.
