Ariki, your AI strategy assistant
Ariki is LeaderKit's built-in AI. It helps your team prepare strategy documentation, drafting Roadmaps, sharpening OKRs and preparing board-ready summaries, so you spend your time deciding rather than formatting.
Why we called it Ariki
Across Polynesian cultures, including Māori in New Zealand and the Cook Islands, an ariki is a hereditary noble, high chief or paramount leader. The title signifies deep spiritual, genealogical and customary authority over tribal lands and the wellbeing of the community.
As a New Zealand founded company, we chose the name to reflect what this assistant is built to be: a source of wise, trusted guidance that helps leaders shape the strategy their organisation will follow, always in service of the people it leads.
From blank page to board-ready
Draft your strategy documentation
Turn rough notes and workshop outputs into a structured strategy document covering purpose, vision, pillars and goals, ready to refine rather than start from scratch.
Shape your Roadmap
Ariki helps you populate the one-page Roadmap canvas, suggesting strategic pillars and long-term goals based on where your organisation is headed.
Sharpen objectives and key results
Draft clearer OKRs, pairing ambitious objectives with measurable key results, and get suggestions to tighten vague or unmeasurable wording.
Refine language and tone
Rewrite dense or unclear passages into plain, board-ready language so your strategy reads clearly to everyone who needs to act on it.
Prepare board-ready summaries
Summarise progress, risks and next steps into an executive narrative you can drop straight into a report or review meeting.

Ariki accelerates the first draft. You stay in control, and every suggestion is yours to accept, edit or reject before it becomes part of your strategy.
An assistant, not an autopilot
Grounded in your strategy
Ariki works inside LeaderKit, so it drafts against your actual Roadmap, pillars and goals, not a blank page disconnected from your business.
From blank page to first draft
The hardest part of strategy documentation is starting. Ariki removes the blank-page problem so your team spends its time refining and deciding, not formatting.
You stay the author
