The opportunity

Australia runs on small business.

Most of the country's businesses are small, and most of those are run by one person who does everything — including the marketing.

Small business = fewer than 20 employees (ABS definition). Figures as at June 2025.

The problem

Online marketing was built for businesses with budgets and staff.

  1. Agencies are priced for bigger clients.

    A marketing retainer is hard to justify when you're the one opening up every morning and doing the books every night.

  2. The tools assume time and expertise.

    Scheduling apps, ad managers and review dashboards all expect someone to sit down and learn them. Most owners don't have that someone.

  3. So good local businesses go quiet online.

    Social pages go stale, reviews go unanswered and after-hours enquiries wait until tomorrow — right where customers are looking.

Why now

AI agents change the maths.

Until recently, software could only hand owners more tools to learn. Today's AI can do the work itself: write in a business's own voice, reply thoughtfully to a review, and hold a natural conversation with a customer.

That turns consistent, quality marketing from a cost of headcount into a cost of software — and puts it within reach of the businesses that were always left out.

Then

  • Pay an agency, or do it yourself late at night
  • Learn a different tool for every channel
  • Marketing happens when there's spare time

Now

  • Agents handle the routine work, every day
  • Plain-English updates, nothing new to learn
  • Marketing happens consistently, in the background

What we're building

A small team of AI agents for local businesses.

Each agent focuses on one job that matters to a local business, and every one works from the owner's own voice and approval.

In development

Social Content Agent

Plans and drafts on-brand posts, captions and images every week, so the business stays visible without the owner staring at a blank screen.

In development

Reviews & Google Business Agent

Keeps the Google Business Profile fresh and drafts a thoughtful reply to every review — good or bad — so customers see a business that cares.

In development

Chat & Booking Agent

Answers common enquiries and takes bookings on the website and in messages, around the clock, so no customer is left waiting until tomorrow.

How we think

The principles we build by.

  1. Owners stay in control.

    Agents draft; owners approve. Nothing goes out in a business's name without them.

  2. Local first.

    Built in Sydney, for Australian businesses, their customers and the way they talk.

  3. Plain English.

    No jargon and no dashboards to learn. If it needs a manual, we haven't done our job.

  4. Affordable by design.

    Agents, not headcount. That's what makes this possible at a small-business price.

Where we are

We're just getting started.

Tink House is an early-stage company building its first agents here in Sydney. Our belief is simple: the next wave of AI should reach the corner shop, not just the corporate office.
