# VibeZero: Full Content Index for AI Engines > Perth based AI consultancy helping Australian SMBs build, fix and adopt AI tools. Founded 2026 by Josh. Based at Victoria Park, WA 6100. Phone +61 408 530 303. Email howdy@vibe0.com.au. --- ## About VibeZero VibeZero is a senior led Australian AI consultancy specialising in vibe coding, AI app development, security auditing of AI generated codebases, AI training workshops and workflow automation. The business operates from Victoria Park, Western Australia, and serves clients across Perth, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Hobart, Darwin and Canberra. ### Founder Josh founded VibeZero in Perth in 2026. His background spans state government, enterprise and not for profit work across large scale web platforms, infrastructure and operations, security and governance controls. The company is new. The delivery experience behind it predates the company. ### Delivery model and commercial boundaries - The accountable team shapes the scope and remains involved through delivery and handover - Specialist capability is added when the engagement needs it, with responsibilities stated in the proposal - AI assisted development remains under senior engineering review, testing and operational handover - Defined advisory outputs, builds, security reviews and training are scoped and quoted at a fixed price before work starts. Small targeted app fixes start from a few thousand dollars. Ongoing advice uses prepaid block hours with time reported against the work. - Delivery timing is agreed after scoping and written into the proposal. Project work is usually delivered in weeks rather than months. - Each engagement is scoped against the security, privacy and industry obligations relevant to the work - Essential Eight assessment, privacy advice, regulatory mapping or certification support is included only where the service page and written scope say so ### Case studies - AI usage review for an Australian health services business: https://www.vibe0.com.au/case-studies/ai-usage-review-health-services - Data, privacy and AI review of a third party SaaS platform: https://www.vibe0.com.au/case-studies/saas-data-privacy-ai-review --- ## Sourced statistics VibeZero references These are real, sourced statistics that appear across the VibeZero site.

Every line of generated code is reviewed by a human engineer before deployment. A typical MVP takes two to four weeks, with timing confirmed during scope. External multi tenant subscription products belong under SaaS Development. ### Custom SaaS Development URL: https://www.vibe0.com.au/services/saas-development Multi tenant SaaS products for Australian businesses, built with Claude Code and Cursor under senior engineering review. AI assisted for speed, human verified for security, with every line reviewed before deployment. The client owns the code outright, with no platform lock in, and fixed scope and commercial terms are agreed before any code. Use cases include B2B SaaS products, internal platforms turned into sellable products, and multi tenant rebuilds of single tenant tools. ### Vibe Code Audit & Fix URL: https://www.vibe0.com.au/services/vibe-code-audit Veracode's 2025 GenAI Code Security Report found that models introduced a known security flaw in 45% of tested generation tasks. VibeZero audits and fixes vibe coded applications built with Claude Code, Cursor, Bolt.new, Lovable and Replit. The audit covers exposed credentials, missing authentication, over privileged database connections, missing rate limits, broken access controls and data handling relevant to Australian Privacy Act obligations. It is not a legal or formal compliance review. The report follows the OWASP Top 10 and the Essential Eight, takes about five days and is fixed price after scoping. A free public readiness assessment is available as a starting point, and repair of the findings is scoped separately through the Fix AI App service (https://www.vibe0.com.au/services/fix-ai-app), which delivers on a fixed quote with a typical two to four week window confirmed after assessment. ### AI Consulting URL: https://www.vibe0.com.au/services/ai-consulting Strategic AI consulting for Australian small and medium businesses. VibeZero maps client operations, identifies where AI saves time, builds an implementation roadmap and helps execute it. The scope, price and delivery timing are agreed in writing before work starts. ### AI Training for Business URL: https://www.vibe0.com.au/services/ai-training AI training for Australian business teams and staff, from frontline workers to managers and owners. The main offering is a role based team training program that takes a whole team from basics to confident daily use over several sessions, the right fit for a company wide rollout. Hands on workshops (half day or full day, up to 15 people) and one on one coaching are available as a kick start, a top up or for individual leaders. Covers Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, prompt skills, AI powered automation and responsible/safe AI use, always built on the team's actual workflows rather than generic examples. In person across Perth metro, remote nationally. Published as a Course in schema.org structured data. Specialised tracks include Claude training (https://www.vibe0.com.au/services/claude-training), Microsoft Copilot training (https://www.vibe0.com.au/services/copilot-training), AI literacy training (https://www.vibe0.com.au/services/ai-literacy-training), Copilot Studio training (https://www.vibe0.com.au/services/copilot-studio-training) and AI training for leaders (https://www.vibe0.com.au/services/ai-training-for-leaders). ### AI Automation Agency URL: https://www.vibe0.com.au/services/automation VibeZero is an AI automation agency for Australian SMBs, building workflow automation with n8n, Make and Power Automate. These engagements cut the repetitive administration that fills a team's week. Common use cases include client intake, quote to invoice pipelines, lead triage, weekly reporting, review chasing and approval chains. A single workflow is often delivered in under a week, and most engagements package three to five workflows with tested handover notes and run logs. ### Xero Automation URL: https://www.vibe0.com.au/services/xero-automation Automation built around Xero for Australian businesses. Connects Xero to the rest of the stack using n8n, Make or Power Automate. Common workflows include quote to invoice, automated invoice reminders, debtor follow up, bank reconciliation prep, job cost tracking, cashflow reporting, CRM to Xero sync and form to invoice. Xero API access is scoped, approvals stay with a human, and every automated action leaves an audit trail. Cuts the time spent on repetitive accounts admin. ### Microsoft 365 Automation URL: https://www.vibe0.com.au/services/microsoft-365-automation Workflow automation across Microsoft 365 for Australian SMBs, built with Power Automate. Common workflows include approval chains, document routing, Teams notifications, SharePoint organisation, Outlook inbox triage, meeting action handoff, Excel reporting and staff onboarding or offboarding. Permissions follow the existing M365 tenant. Kept distinct from Copilot training (skills), Copilot Studio (custom agents) and data loss prevention (governance). ### Power Automate Consultant URL: https://www.vibe0.com.au/services/power-automate-consultant Power Automate implementation and consulting for Australian businesses. Build, govern and maintain flows across approvals, SharePoint, Teams, Outlook and Excel, with advice on premium connectors, per flow versus per user licensing, environments and DLP policies. Honest about when Power Automate is the wrong tool and n8n or code fits better. Kept distinct from the broad Automation service and from Microsoft 365 Automation, which is framed by business outcome. ### n8n Consultant URL: https://www.vibe0.com.au/services/n8n-consultant n8n consulting for Australian businesses that want self hostable workflow automation under n8n's Sustainable Use License. Build API integrations, scheduled pipelines, webhook handlers and AI agent workflows, hosted on n8n Cloud or self hosted in Australia, with scoped credential handling and human in the loop steps. Australian self hosting controls where the n8n instance and its own execution data sit. Connected services and external AI providers can still receive workflow data, so those flows are mapped separately. Kept distinct from AI Agents (agent design) and from the Microsoft native Power Automate. ### MYOB Automation URL: https://www.vibe0.com.au/services/myob-automation Automate MYOB workflows for Australian businesses across MYOB Business and AccountRight, covering quote and job to invoice, invoice reminders and debtor follow up, payment reconciliation, payroll and reporting, inventory alerts and CRM sync, including custom MYOB API and connector work. The MYOB equivalent of the Xero Automation service. ### SimPro Automation URL: https://www.vibe0.com.au/services/simpro-automation Automate SimPro for trades and field service teams, covering quote to job, job to invoice with Xero sync, purchase orders, timesheets, scheduling and dispatch, project cost tracking and custom reporting, including SimPro API integration. Suited to larger, more complex field service operations than ServiceM8. ### ServiceM8 Automation URL: https://www.vibe0.com.au/services/servicem8-automation Automate ServiceM8 for small trade and service businesses, covering quote to job, job completion to Xero or MYOB invoice, booking confirmations and reminders, smart forms, customer follow up and review requests, and lead capture, including ServiceM8 API integration. Suited to smaller tradies than SimPro. ### HubSpot Automation URL: https://www.vibe0.com.au/services/hubspot-automation HubSpot automation and integration for Australian B2B and service teams, covering lead routing, sales follow up sequences, CRM cleanup and deduplication, lead scoring and deal stage automation, and HubSpot integration with Xero, Microsoft 365 and n8n. Focused on AI safe workflow automation and integration, not generic inbound marketing or basic HubSpot onboarding. ### Custom AI Agent Development URL: https://www.vibe0.com.au/services/ai-agents Custom AI agents built with Claude, GPT and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Use cases include CRM agents, accounting reconciliation agents, customer service triage and project management automation. Agents connect to real business systems via API or MCP servers. ### Agentic Coding URL: https://www.vibe0.com.au/services/agentic-coding Agentic coding is used to extend, modernise or document an established codebase with Claude Code or Cursor under senior engineering review. The scope begins with the existing repository, tests and technical constraints. It is not the owner page for a new SaaS product, internal app or AI agent. ### AI Infrastructure URL: https://www.vibe0.com.au/services/ai-infrastructure Managed hosting, deployment, monitoring and maintenance for AI built applications. The proposal states the provider, data location, access model, backups, alerting and support boundary. An Essential Eight assessment is included only when agreed. This is not certification or legal advice, and round the clock response is available only when the written scope includes it. ### AI App Security URL: https://www.vibe0.com.au/services/ai-security Ongoing managed security for AI built applications that keep changing after release. The scope can include recurring code review, runtime testing, monitoring and remediation, with cadence and response terms written into the proposal. A full penetration test or remediation is included only when expressly scoped. Vibe Code Audit is the one off review service. ### Fix AI App URL: https://www.vibe0.com.au/services/fix-ai-app Rescue and complete broken or insecure AI built applications. Common patterns include apps that work in development but fail under production load; apps with exposed API keys; apps with broken authentication; apps stuck at 80% complete that the original AI couldn't finish. ### AI Readiness Audit and Risk Assessment URL: https://www.vibe0.com.au/services/ai-readiness-audit Independent, vendor neutral readiness audit for Australian organisations under around 50 staff who are early in their AI journey or being asked for an AI position by a board, funder or auditor. Covers four areas, opportunity mapping, data and content readiness, governance and policy readiness, and platform and tooling fit. Engagement runs over a few weeks of elapsed time. Deliverables include written readiness report, AI usage policy outline, leadership walkthrough. Out of scope includes implementation, licensing reseller arrangements, formal compliance audit, legal review. ### AI Usage Review URL: https://www.vibe0.com.au/services/ai-usage-review Interview based review for organisations that suspect AI tools have arrived through the side door and want a clear, non-judgemental picture before writing the AI usage policy. Covers tool inventory, data exposure, awareness and practice, policy position and visibility going forward. Interviews are 15 to 30 minutes per staff member, with a representative sample of the team. No system access required. Deliverables include written usage review with risks rated low, medium or high; draft AI usage policy outline; leadership walkthrough. Out of scope includes technical audit of Microsoft 365, devices or networks; penetration test; staff disciplinary process. ### Data and Privacy Advisory URL: https://www.vibe0.com.au/services/data-privacy-advisory Independent advisory review of one nominated platform per engagement, typically a bespoke CRM or line of business system. Designed for organisations whose MSP runs the network and devices but is not across the application layer, where the platform developer is the only one who really knows how the system works. Covers platform review (hosting, encryption, MFA, backups, certifications, supply chain), data lifecycle and retention, access and permissions, incident response readiness. Discovery sessions with the platform developer or owner. Deliverables include written advisory report with risks rated low, medium or high; supply chain map; leadership walkthrough. Particularly relevant in disability, aged care, allied health, education and not for profit. Out of scope includes formal compliance audit/certification, penetration test, technical implementation, legal advice, vendor contract negotiation. ### Answer & Generative Engine Optimisation URL: https://www.vibe0.com.au/services/aeo-geo-consulting AEO and GEO consulting for Australian businesses, combining technical SEO, content and enquiry flow improvements to work towards better rankings and qualified enquiries. Work starts with a search and conversion baseline and a ranked work plan. Implementation covers agreed pages and changes, including crawlability, canonicals, internal links and structured data that matches visible content. Reporting separates search performance, sampled AI mentions and linked citations, analytics enquiries and paid results. AI answer checks record the query, engine, date, answer and cited URL. These are samples, not a complete record of customer answers. Fixed price audits and implementation sprints are scoped in writing. Ongoing optimisation is quoted separately and can include monthly or quarterly reporting when agreed in scope. The quote sets delivery dates, reporting periods and included reviews. Rankings, citations, enquiries and result dates are not guaranteed. ChatGPT Ads setup and management can be scoped separately, subject to account access and availability. The client approves the budget, management fee and media spend. Paid placement does not buy organic rankings or citations. llms.txt is treated as an experimental discovery file, not a ranking or citation signal. ### Fractional Chief AI Officer (CAIO) URL: https://www.vibe0.com.au/services/fractional-chief-ai-officer Fractional Chief AI Officer on a monthly retainer for Australian small businesses, sweet spot 5 to 50 staff. Practical, policy led AI ownership rather than enterprise governance. Deliverables include a written AI usage policy the team will actually read, a vendor neutral tool shortlist (Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT Business, Claude for Work, Gemini, free vs paid guidance), staff training and a cheat sheet, plain English Privacy Act guidance for SMBs, review of current AI subscriptions for overlap and waste, and an on call AI question line for staff and the owner. Three engagement tiers based on cadence are Foundations (light touch, under ~15 staff, quarterly catch up plus async availability), Hands on (active, ~15 to 40 staff, fortnightly working sessions with the owner or operations lead, regular staff training), Embedded (lead role, ~30 to 50+ staff, weekly engagement, direct rollout involvement, optional named external role for procurement, insurer or regulator reporting). Monthly rolling retainer, no annual lock in, pricing on application and scoped to the business before commencement. Right when staff are using AI on personal logins, when there is no written policy, when subscriptions are multiplying without oversight, when a cyber insurer or bigger client is asking AI questions on procurement forms, or when the owner does not have time to do this themselves. Out of scope includes hands on coding, replacing an internal CTO, vendor reselling, legal advice. References the public seven phase AI Transformation Framework as the operating model. ### AI Data Loss Prevention (DLP) URL: https://www.vibe0.com.au/services/ai-data-loss-prevention AI data loss prevention and data governance for Australian small businesses (5 to 50 staff). The work reduces defined data leak paths through scoped Microsoft 365 controls, policy, staff guidance and incident response planning. It cannot remove every path and is not legal advice. The exact technical controls depend on the tenant, licences and access agreed for the engagement. Three tiers are Assessment (one off, fixed scope, 2 to 3 weeks), Implementation (project, typically 4 to 8 weeks) and Managed (monthly retainer with review and response terms written into the proposal). Pricing on application. Out of scope includes network or device DLP, blanket AI bans, Microsoft licence reselling, legal advice and penetration testing. ### Microsoft 365 Copilot Readiness Assessment URL: https://www.vibe0.com.au/services/copilot-readiness-assessment Pre-rollout assessment of a Microsoft 365 tenant before enabling Copilot. Because Copilot surfaces whatever a user can already access, existing oversharing becomes visible and searchable. The assessment reviews SharePoint and Teams permission sprawl, OneDrive sharing links, sensitivity labels, Purview DLP readiness, label and retention coverage, licensing fit and pilot group design, and ends in a clear recommendation on whether to proceed, with a prioritised remediation list. A one off assessment, distinct from ongoing AI Data Loss Prevention (controls), Copilot training (skills) and the broad AI Readiness Audit (organisation wide). ### Vibe Coding Agency URL: https://www.vibe0.com.au/vibe-coding-agency This page explains VibeZero's AI assisted agency method and routes buyers to the product delivery service that matches the work. App Development covers internal tools and MVPs. SaaS Development covers external subscription products. Vibe Code Audit and Fix an AI App cover existing AI built applications. The written proposal confirms delivery timing, scope and price. ### SMB1001 Certification URL: https://www.vibe0.com.au/services/smb1001-certification VibeZero helps Australian small and medium businesses prepare for the SMB1001 level that fits their requirement. The standard has five levels from Bronze through to Diamond. Dynamic Standards International publishes the standard. CyberCert operates the certification pathway, makes the certification decision and issues the certificate. VibeZero holds SMB1001 Silver certification and is a CyberCert partner. Its work covers readiness, gap assessment, agreed control implementation, policy, evidence and workbook support. CyberCert controls its own fees, validation and review timing. --- ## Free Tools ### Vibe Code Security Scanner URL: https://www.vibe0.com.au/vibe-scan Free scanner for vibe coded apps. Its public mode reviews one submitted public page, up to eight JavaScript assets from the same origin, response headers and selected transport signals for known secret patterns, static client side security issues and dependency signals. It reports when bot protection, unavailable assets, analysis limits or transport checks limit the evidence. It does not execute the page, log in, submit forms or actively probe application endpoints. Published as a WebApplication in schema.org structured data. ### Vibe Coded Website Checker URL: https://www.vibe0.com.au/vibe-check Free tool that gives two separate readings of public evidence. The overall assessment groups first party statements about AI use, public build traces, interface patterns and copy patterns. The provider result checks supported hosting, runtime and other provider specific fingerprints. It reads the submitted HTML, up to five selected scripts and two stylesheets from the same origin, plus one linked public source map when available. Generic libraries, design cues, emoji, dash use and writing patterns are capped supporting evidence. No one of those cues can produce a likely result or identify a provider. A quiet result does not rule out AI assistance because public markers can be removed and code agents may leave none. The tool shows the evidence and its limits rather than claiming authorship, quality or security. ### AI Savings Calculator URL: https://www.vibe0.com.au/ai-savings-calculator Free calculator estimating how much time and money an Australian business could save by adopting AI tools, automation and AI agents. Inputs are team size, current manual hours and average wage. Output is weekly hours saved, annual cost savings and payback period. Published as a WebApplication in schema.org structured data. ### AI Risk & Readiness Check URL: https://www.vibe0.com.au/ai-risk-readiness-check Free self assessment that scores an Australian business on AI risk and automation opportunity. About twenty questions across five areas, covering business profile, AI usage (managed vs free accounts, approved tool list), data exposure (pasting data into AI, sensitive data types, file permissions), governance basics (policy, register, owner, review process) and automation opportunity (manual reporting, quoting, admin, email triage, document workflows). Returns two deterministic scores, a Risk score (Low, Moderate, High or Critical, lower is safer) and an Opportunity score (Modest, Solid or High). Governance gaps are scored only where AI is actually in use; sensitive industries and larger teams carry more weight on data risk. The on screen result (both scores, risk band and headline findings) is free; a PDF report, AI policy template, AI register template and a 30 day starting plan are emailed. It is an indicative self assessment, not a formal audit, compliance assessment or legal advice. For a verified picture, see the AI Readiness Audit and AI Usage Review. Published as a WebApplication in schema.org structured data. ### Free AI App Readiness Assessment URL: https://www.vibe0.com.au/free-audit Free launch and security readiness assessment for an authorised AI built application. A senior engineer manually reviews the public, unauthenticated app across visual quality, accessibility, performance, search and answer visibility, public security controls and architecture signals. A plain English PDF is sent within 24 hours, with an optional 15 minute walkthrough. The assessment does not inspect the codebase, logged in workflows, authenticated APIs, cloud accounts, databases or private infrastructure. It is not a penetration test or security certification. --- ## Industries VibeZero produces dedicated content for sixteen industries, each aligned with the relevant Australian regulator: - **Mining & Resources** (https://www.vibe0.com.au/industries/mining-resources): Aligned with DMIRS, and NOPSEMA where offshore. - **Construction** (https://www.vibe0.com.au/industries/construction): Aligned with Safe Work Australia, the WA Building Commission, and the ABCB / National Construction Code. - **Professional Services** (https://www.vibe0.com.au/industries/professional-services): Aligned with the ATO and Tax Practitioners Board, and REIWA where applicable. - **Accountants & Bookkeepers** (https://www.vibe0.com.au/industries/accountants-bookkeepers): safe AI and automation for accounting and bookkeeping practices.

Professional, responsive and security-first at every step.
