  • Low-code & AI: 

    We use enterprise low-code platforms like OutSystems, supercharged with AI, to speed up delivery without compromising quality or increasing risk.
  • AI-assisted coding and learning of legacy codebases:
    With tools like Copilot and Cursor, our developers work faster and cleaner – understand legacy codebases and also generating new code.
  • AI service integrations:
    We embed natural language processing, document summarisation, machine vision, and generative AI into your workflows and platforms.
  • Smart UI prototyping:
    Rapid interface generation using AI helps us iterate with users early and often, reducing waste and enhancing user experience.
  • AI-assisted testing:
    We test thoroughly using AI-powered tools that automatically run tests that dramatically reduce regression testing time.

What you can achieve with AI

Automate time-consuming admin tasks

Replace manual, repetitive processes with AI-driven workflows that reduce error rates and free up valuable time for frontline teams.

Think: application processing, reporting.

Extract insights from complex data

Use AI to scan, summarise and extract key data from large volumes of unstructured content like PDFs and forms.

Think: policy analysis, case file triage, NDIS plans.

Enhance customer and user experience

Deploy conversational AI and intelligent routing to improve self-service, reduce call volumes, and deliver faster outcomes.

Think: virtual agents, AI-powered forms, FAQ automation.

Improve compliance & risk monitoring

Detect anomalies, flag exceptions and automate reporting to stay ahead
of critical regulatory requirements.

Think: health reporting, audit prep, early warning systems.

Enable predictive decision-making

Use AI to forecast trends, predict resource needs and model outcomes so decisions are based on evidence, not instinct.

Think: demand modelling, predictive maintenance, financial risk.

Improve accessibility and inclusion

Use AI tools to improve access to content and services for people with disability or language barriers.

Think: real-time captioning and document translation.

Quickly understand legacy codebases

Use AI to analyse source code, uncover business logic, and create visual documentation to speed up onboarding or redevelopment.

Think: Faster, lower-risk modernisation of legacy systems.

Support decision-making with AI-powered dashboards

Surface the right information at the right time using AI-enhanced reporting and visualisation tools.

Think: role-based insights and dynamic data summaries.

Based in Melbourne, our team delivers locally with global best practices. You won’t be handed off to anonymous dev shops.

Modern development with
embedded AI

We use low-code platforms like OutSystems to move fast and integrate AI only where it drives real outcomes (not hype).

Focused on long-term value

From code maintainability to user experience, we build systems designed to evolve with your needs and not fall apart after go-live.

Stats that speak for themselves
  • Development time reduced by up to 50% using GenAI tools
  • Design time cut by 70% with AI-assisted UI generation
  • Projects completed in weeks, not months
  • Projects delivered for half the cost using GenAI tools

Our delivery approach for AI-driven projects

Kiandra’s AI delivery model is designed to reduce risk, accelerate outcomes, and ensure your AI solution aligns with both user needs and enterprise realities, especially where legacy systems are involved.

STEP 1

Use case definition

We start with the problem, not the platform.

• Identify high-impact, high-friction processes
• Define measurable business outcomes
• Assess feasibility (data quality, security, readiness)
• Confirm budget boundaries and governance needs.

STEP 2

Legacy system discovery

When AI augments or replaces existing systems,
we use GenAI tools to:

• Analyse legacy code (e.g. .NET, VB6, SQL, COBOL)
• Extract business rules and data relationships
• Generate flowcharts and documentation automatically
• Cross-check with SMEs to fill knowledge gaps.

The reduces guesswork and accelerates scoping.

STEP 3

Design

We decide what to build and how.

• Explore low-code vs custom-code pathways
• Define AI models, security controls, and integrations
• Co-design ideal-state workflows with actual users
• Include AI ethics and explainability from day one.

STEP 4

Pilot

We build quickly, with feedback built in.

• Deliver a prototype or workflow within 2–4 weeks
• Test usability, performance, risk exposure and security
• Involve real users for hands-on validation
• Iterate early and often.

STEP 5

Operationalise

We shift from prototype to production.

• Deploy incrementally with clear support structures
• Integrate into systems and data environments securely
• Train end users and operational teams
• Establish tracking for adoption and outcome metrics.
