built in aotearoa · HAPAI

Tools for the job in front of you.

HAPAI comes from hāpai: to lift or support. It is assembl's public library of single-purpose tools. Upload the note, paste the rough text, record the meeting, photograph the notice, or choose the task. Get a draft, checklist, share card, plan, or next action you can review.

This is how practical adoption starts: with real work, a visible result, and a clear path to make the useful tools private for your team.

public tool library

One task. One tool. One useful result.

One task at a time

Each HAPAI tool does one job clearly: turn a photo, paste, recording, note, or brief into something useful enough to review.

Useful without training

No prompt course, no platform tour. Open the page, add the task in front of you, and get a draft, checklist, or plan.

Wins become internal tools

When a public tool proves useful, assembl can turn it into a private tool with your data, voice, permissions, and review trail.

practical adoption

Teams learn by trying one real task.

The best adoption does not start with a platform rollout. It starts when someone runs a meeting note, school notice, customer reply, or spreadsheet chore through a tool and gets a useful first draft. HAPAI makes those small wins visible, shareable, and easy to turn into private tools for the team.

Pick one task

Use something ordinary and slightly tedious: meeting prep, a customer reply, a timetable, a food record, a share card, a brief.

Run it through a tool

Use the tool before you rebuild the spreadsheet, rewrite the email, or stare at a blank doc.

Make the win repeatable

If the result helps, turn it into an internal tool your team can open again tomorrow, branded and reviewed like the rest of your work.

The best HAPAI tools start with one ordinary piece of work someone keeps avoiding: the spreadsheet, the follow-up, the proof pack, the weekly note, the form nobody wants to open.

Send the messy version. We'll look for a small tool that can give it the first shot.

industry pack

Bring HAPAI to your team.

The full HAPAI library, branded to your org and available to every team member, is included in a kete pack at $5,000/month. Your wordmark, your colour, your voice, your review rules. The point is simple: every team should be able to create, open, and share small internal tools for the work they actually do.

founder note

Why HAPAI exists.

I built HAPAI because adoption was failing for the same reason in every organisation I talked to: one person tries a generic chat tool, sees value, and cannot get the rest of the team to switch tools and learn prompting.

The tools below remove that friction. Each one is single-purpose and branded: the kind of thing a marketing team can open in the morning, an operator can open after lunch, and a manager can turn into a repeatable internal system by Friday.
