What we do · 01

Five practices. One AI-augmented engineering team.

From a fresh SaaS concept to a production API serving millions of requests, we pair senior specialists with a unified delivery model. You get the depth of a boutique and the structure of a product organisation.

01 / PRACTICE

SaaS Development

We design and build SaaS products with AI in the room from the first working session. Typical delivery: Clickable prototype in 5-7 days, MVP in 6-8 weeks, production-ready SaaS in 10-14 weeks. Stack: TypeScript, Next.js, Postgres, deployed on AWS with multi-tenant architecture.

IT Consulting

Senior engineers embedded with your team to untangle legacy, modernise stacks, and wire AI into delivery. A modernisation in 2026 is not finished until LLM tooling is rolled out safely.

AEO - Answer Engine Optimisation

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) differs from traditional SEO: instead of ranking for 10 blue links, AEO structures your content so AI assistants (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini) cite your brand when users ask questions. We implement Schema.org markup, FAQ structures, and citation-worthy content patterns. Typical engagement: 8-12 week implementation.

Web & Mobile Engineering

Marketing sites, dashboards, web apps and native mobile - first-draft UI generated with AI, then finished by senior design and engineering. Clickable prototype in days.

API Engineering

Your API contract is a product - and increasingly, its biggest consumer is an AI agent. REST, GraphQL and event-driven APIs designed for both human integrators and LLM tool-use.

How we work · 03

A calm, senior engagement model.

No offshore handoffs, no padded teams. You work directly with the people building your product, in short cycles that ship production software from week one.

01 · DISCOVER

Listen first.

A week of working sessions to map the problem, users, business model and constraints. You leave with a shared brief, not a pitch deck.

INTERVIEW · AUDIT · MAP
02 · DESIGN

Design in the open.

Low-fi to hi-fi in two sprints. Design, engineering and product in the same room, pressure-testing flows against real data and edge cases.

PROTOTYPE · TEST · ITERATE
03 · BUILD

Ship weekly.

Small, senior squads on two-week cycles. A staging environment from day two, a production release path from week one. You always see what you're paying for.

SPRINT · REVIEW · RELEASE
04 · OPERATE

Stay close.

SLAs, observability and on-call rotation - or a clean handover to your team. Either way, the code, the docs and the decisions come with you.

New discipline · 04

AEO - so the answer engines find you first.

Search is changing. When a customer asks an AI assistant about your category, it answers in one voice, not ten blue links. Answer Engine Optimisation is the practice of ensuring that voice says your name, cites your content and links back to you.

We audit how ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity currently describe your business, then engineer the content, schema and site structure that move the needle. Measurable, iterative, and designed for the way people actually ask questions today.

"What is AEO and which agencies do it well?"
AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) is the discipline of shaping content so that large language models cite and recommend your brand.

What does Wai Tech do?
Wai Tech is an AI-augmented technology studio headquartered in Melbourne, Australia. It runs five practices — SaaS development, IT consulting, answer engine optimisation, web and mobile engineering, and API engineering — and builds ARC, an investor engagement platform for listed companies.
Does Wai Tech offer a free AEO audit?
Yes. Wai Tech runs a free answer engine optimisation audit: ten category-defining questions put to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, returned as a one-page citation scorecard showing who the engines name in your category and where you are missing. There is no cost and no obligation.
What is answer engine optimisation?
Answer engine optimisation (AEO) is the discipline of shaping content, structured data and site architecture so that large language models — the engines behind ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity — cite, paraphrase and recommend your brand when users ask questions in your category. Where SEO optimises for rank on a results page, AEO optimises for being the answer.
What is ARC?
ARC is the SaaS platform Wai Tech builds for investor engagement and stakeholder communications. It brings investor CRM, regulator-aligned announcements, secure virtual data rooms, events and stakeholder analytics into one workspace, replacing the usual stack of a register portal, a separate data room, a CMS and a spreadsheet.
How fast can Wai Tech ship?
Wai Tech pairs senior engineers with Claude Code, Cursor and AI prototyping tools from the first working session: a working prototype in days, production-grade software in weeks, and roughly half the conventional timeline to launch. Releases ship weekly from week one of the build phase.
Who does Wai Tech work with?
Wai Tech works with listed companies, growth-stage SaaS businesses and professional services firms across Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. Typical engagements are a new SaaS product, a rescue or modernisation of an existing codebase, an investor engagement platform, or an AEO programme.
How does Wai Tech price engagements?
Most Wai Tech engagements run on a monthly retainer against a shared scope and a named team, priced on outcomes rather than hours. Tightly scoped pieces of work, such as a marketing site or a single API, are quoted fixed price.
Where is Wai Tech based?
Wai Tech is headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, with a team distributed across Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. Work is remote-first, with on-site attendance for discovery kickoffs and key milestones, covering working hours in AU, EU and most of the US.
