20+ years of filmmaking, business, and storytelling in Hawaiʻi.
A studio, a systems practice, and a stake in the Waiʻanae Coast — built so the small businesses that keep our community running can put AI to work the way the biggest companies do.
Built for Waiʻanae Coast small businesses.
Our home is Waiʻanae Coast — from Nānākuli to Kaʻena. The restaurants, construction crews, professional offices, retail shops, and nonprofits here keep Oʻahu's leeward side running, and they deserve the same caliber of systems the mainland takes for granted.
We exist to bring enterprise-grade AI workflows to small teams that have never had a CTO on call. No buzzwords, no platform migrations — just practical automations that pay for themselves in the first month.
Why us / What we believe.
- AI as amplifier, not replacement. It should free your team to do the work only humans can do — not erase the role.
- We build on the tools you already own. Google Workspace, Slack, QuickBooks, your CRM. We integrate, not replace.
- No buzzwords, no slide decks. We ship working workflows in two weeks. We measure success in hours saved and bids closed — not vanity dashboards.
- Real-world outcomes over hype. Every engagement starts with a clear, measurable outcome — and ends only when it's met.
Founder story — Pākē Salmon.
SAG filmmaker and Producer with 20+ years in Hawaiʻi's creative industry. From award-winning documentaries shown internationally to producing films on a RED Komodo — I've built a career on stories that matter to communities like ours.
Along the way I've spoken at the White House and on EPA plenary stages, won a Telly Award, screened work at HIFF-45, and joined the ʻŌhina Lab fellows cohort. None of those badges are the point. They show the same thing: I finish what I start, and I show up for the work.
Today I run Pacific AI Solutions so Waiʻanae Coast small businesses can use AI the way I use it on set — quietly, with intention, and with respect for the people it serves.
