by This page has links to Kiwilaw online interviews or online forms for clients to use, to provide the information we need in order to produce your documents.
If you have a link with this prefix, it will no longer work: https://autom.io/o/kiwilaw/.
After using Automio since 2018, we were notified on 4 July 2025 that it would be retired on 14 July 2025. On 10 July 2025 we were notified that it might continue a bit longer but it would not be supported after 14 July 2025. On 20 July 2025 it ceased, without further communication. On 28 July we were informed that it would not be reinstated. Although we were trying to transition to a new platform, we had not anticipated such sudden developments.
Replacement links will be shown here, only when we are confident that we can process the documents promptly after you use these links. These may be interim solutions, or they may be long-term replacement bots.
Thank you for your patience.
