MāramaAI is an indigenous-founded AI strategy and literacy firm. We help organisations engage AI on their own terms. With their values intact and their people at the centre.
AI literacy for your people. AI strategy for your leaders. Both matter. Both are different. We keep them distinct so you get the right thing from the right conversation.
Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute discovery call. We listen first, then recommend the right starting point. Nothing is off-the-shelf and nothing gets forced to fit.
Building AI literacy, fluency, and confidence at the operational level. Using your real work and your real context. Not generic examples borrowed from somewhere else.
We demystify AI for a room of any size. Not a lecture. a conversation that shifts how people think and opens the door to deeper engagement. People leave with clarity and better questions.
A practical half-day or full-day workshop for your team. Builds shared language and real confidence. Using your organisation's actual work, not case studies from overseas.
Designed for whānau, hapū, marae, and community groups. Accessible, jargon-free, culturally safe. What it looks like when AI literacy meets the people who need it most.
A multi-session cohort programme where your team builds real AI capability using your actual work. Everything created is relevant, practical, and yours to keep.
Building strategic AI confidence and governance capability at the leadership level. Not technical training. Governance-aware advisory for the people responsible for direction and oversight.
For boards and executive teams. We reframe AI as a governance question, not a technology question. Giving leaders the clarity they need before making decisions that matter.
A thorough assessment of where your organisation actually stands with AI. What tools make sense, what risks to manage, and a phased roadmap your leaders can execute with confidence.
AI use policies, data governance documents, and board briefing papers. Written for your specific organisational context. Not generic templates. Not borrowed from elsewhere.
Your AI advisor available across the month. For policy decisions, tool evaluations, board papers, and strategic questions as they arise. Priority access, no billing surprises.
Every engagement starts with a discovery conversation. 30 to 45 minutes with our lead advisor to understand where your organisation is at, where it is heading, and whether we are the right fit. Both ways.
From there, we recommend the right starting point. Not a menu of options. a considered recommendation based on what we heard. We scope every engagement after that conversation, which means nothing is off-the-shelf and nothing gets forced to fit.
When we are done, everything stays with you. The frameworks, the policies, the tools, the reasoning. No lock-in. No dependency. And a follow-up check-in is built into every engagement.
30 minutes. Free. We listen to your situation, your context, and your people. We confirm whether we are the right fit before anything is agreed or paid.
We propose the right starting point based on what we heard. Not a generic package. a scoped engagement built around your actual context.
Sessions run via Zoom or in-person across Aotearoa and AU. We use your real work, not case studies borrowed from overseas.
Every document, framework, and tool belongs to your organisation. Follow-up support is built into every engagement. No lock-in.
We believe every community deserves access to quality AI literacy and strategy. Regardless of budget. A community rate applies to organisations working in and for their communities. Get in touch and let us have a kōrero.
We stand for equitable access to AI knowledge. If your organisation works in community and cost is a genuine barrier, reach out. We will find a way to make it work.
Practical guides, policy templates, and frameworks built from real experience. Downloadable globally. Priced to be accessible for any organisation anywhere in the world.

AI does not bring wisdom to your organisation. Your people, your values, and your whakapapa already carry that. We help you engage AI in a way that honours what was already there.
Start the conversationA dedicated space for iwi providers, Māori organisations, and indigenous communities who want AI strategy that puts tikanga, mana, and cultural integrity first.
Māori organisations have the right to make their own decisions about AI. Including the right to say no. Our role is to support informed, sovereign decision-making. Not to push adoption for its own sake.
Every engagement is conducted with care for the people involved. AI implementation that harms relationships or erodes trust is not progress, regardless of the efficiency gains it promises.
We work in relationship, not transaction. Understanding your organisation's whakapapa. Its history, its people, its aspirations. Is essential to any AI strategy that actually serves you.
Data about Māori communities is taonga. The organisations that hold it are kaitiaki. We help you think through what that guardianship role means in the AI era, practically and clearly.
MāramaAI is Māori-founded and Māori-led. Our founder brings direct experience working within iwi provider organisations across HR operations, governance support, and Māori stakeholder engagement, alongside graduate-level study in AI and technological futures through a Kaupapa Māori lens. This is not outsider analysis. It is insider knowledge applied to a new challenge.
We are honest about what we know and what we do not. We do not claim to be policy experts or legal advisors on data sovereignty frameworks. What we offer is practical, culturally intelligent support for Māori organisations thinking carefully about AI. When specialist advice is needed, we will tell you and help you find it.
