AI Automation

01

We automate the work your team shouldn't be doing by hand: answering and booking enquiries, checking and filing documents, and keeping your systems in sync. Everything we build is made for daily use, not just a demo.

02

Customers now ask ChatGPT, Claude and Google's AI before they call anyone. We check whether those answers mention your business, fix what holds you back, and report how often you're mentioned every month. One site we built is named in 43% of AI answers.

Web Development

03

We build websites, online stores and web apps that load in under a second, and your team can update them without calling a developer. It's the foundation for everything else we do.

Yes, the name is a joke. The work isn't.

Agency names take themselves very seriously, so ours doesn't. Croissant & Baguette is a small French-Australian studio in Sydney with a network of Australian specialists. It's built on 25 years of web development and marketing, first in Paris and then here. We stay boutique on purpose: a few tailored projects at a time, and never so big that we stop doing the work ourselves.

You stay in control.

You own the code and the data, and you have the final say on anything that matters.

  • No lock-in.

    You own the code, and there are no per-task fees or platforms tying you to us.

  • Your data stays in Australia.

    It's hosted on your own servers or in an Australian cloud region, whichever you prefer.

  • A person signs off.

    A person approves anything important before it happens, and every action is logged.

  • Built by the people you talk to.

    We're based in Sydney and have been building software for businesses since 2019. Everyone on your project is in Australia.

What does Croissant & Baguette do?

Croissant & Baguette is a Sydney web development and AI automation studio, working with businesses across Australia and New Zealand since 2019. We build websites and Shopify stores that load in under a second, web and mobile apps, and AI systems that handle enquiries, bookings and documents from start to finish. We also measure how often ChatGPT, Claude and Google's AI mention a business, and work to improve it.

What does an AI automation agency do?

It finds the work your team does by hand and builds systems that do it for them: answering and booking enquiries, reading documents and checking them against your rules, and keeping your software in sync so nobody types the same thing twice. Unlike using ChatGPT yourself, the system does the task itself, inside the calendar, CRM and inbox you already use, and asks a person before doing anything important.

How much does a website, a Shopify store or AI automation cost?

Websites start at $9,000. Custom Shopify themes start at $9,000, and fully custom (headless) Shopify storefronts at $12,000. Web and mobile apps start at $15,000. AI automation starts with a free assessment, and each automated process costs from $8,000 to build. The AI visibility audit is free with a 20-minute call, and care plans start at $250 a month. Each service page lists its prices and the typical range for a build.

Where are you based, and where is the work done?

We're in Sydney, and everyone who works on your project is based in Australia. Nothing is sent offshore. We work with businesses across Australia and New Zealand, from brand-new stores to ASX-listed groups.

How long does a project take?

A website takes four to eight weeks, a Shopify store three to ten, and a web or mobile app eight to sixteen. AI automation starts with a free assessment (one meeting, then a written proposal), and the first process is usually live three to eight weeks after you give the go-ahead.
