The first wave of AI was chatbots and hype. This is the second wave.
Second Wave AI is an Australian AI-implementation consultancy. We help organisations from small business to enterprise, across Australia and the Middle East and Africa, turn manual, time-sensitive processes — answering calls, sending quotes, responding to tenders, chasing paperwork, reporting on how the business is actually doing — into automated systems built on the tools they already trust.
Package it, don't hourly-rate it
Every engagement is scoped as a fixed-price, fixed-timeline package with a measurable outcome, not open-ended consulting. If we can’t describe it in one sentence — this does X, costs Y, ships in Z weeks — we haven’t scoped it properly yet.
Extends what you already use
We connect to your existing CRM, calendar and accounting tool instead of asking you to switch systems, unless what you have genuinely can’t do the job.
Sized to fit your organisation
Packages and timelines are scoped to your size, whether you are an owner-operator or a procurement team, and written in plain language.
Small businesses and larger organisations, one shared problem: too much manual work
Trades & construction
Electricians, plumbers, builders, HVAC, landscapers — where missed calls and slow quoting cost real jobs.
Professional services
Accounting, bookkeeping, legal and finance broking firms buried in document-heavy client intake, especially at tax time.
Hospitality & retail
Cafes, restaurants, salons and small retailers who want fuller bookings and more reviews, without more admin.
Healthcare & clinics
Physio, dental and allied health practices where admin load competes directly with client-facing time.
Enterprise & government suppliers
Suppliers, contractors and integrators answering government and enterprise tenders in Australia and MEA, where each response is still rebuilt by hand. See Crestender.
We flag privacy and compliance before we build, not after
Whenever a proposed solution moves customer or client data through a third-party AI tool, we tell you where that data is hosted and processed, and whether it meets your obligations under the Australian Privacy Act — especially relevant for admin, document AI and assistant work involving client-identifying information.
For regulated industries
For healthcare, finance and legal clients, we don’t assume standard SaaS terms are sufficient — we ask about your specific compliance requirements (health records handling, record-keeping obligations) before finalising any scope.
