Tahi searches trusted New Zealand sources and uses AI to create clear, easy-to-understand answers with direct links to sources including New Zealand Geographic articles. Unlike many AI tools, Tahi keeps its indexed data in New Zealand and focuses on local knowledge, values, and perspectives.

Many AI tools store and process information overseas. This can raise questions about who owns the data, who can access it, and whether New Zealand values and tikanga are respected.

Tahi is designed to keep New Zealand information in New Zealand. The information it searches is stored locally, and any content shared with AI is temporary and not kept.

Instead of making answers based only on what an AI has learned before, Tahi searches trusted New Zealand sources and uses AI to turn that information into clear, easy-to-read answers. This means the information is reliable, can be traced back to its source, and can be updated when new information becomes available.

Tahi isn't trying to do everything. It won't write your homework, build an app, or plan your next holiday. What it does do is help people find trustworthy information about Aotearoa New Zealand—drawing on local knowledge, perspectives, and values.
